Lua & Kimber: A Narrative Fiction

When we finally got to the party we saw dancing monster’s. Some of them were scary, but they did cool tricks.Boom! The scary monster’s came out with excitement. One of them almost fell but they caught themselves.

Smoke clouds drifted in the air, as the sound of metal chains thumping against thighs echoed throughout the night. Everyone was speaking loud in line, on the edge of the sidewalk, waiting to be granted access into the concert. I felt the back of my Doc Martens getting scuffed by the person behind me, as we got closer to the front of the line. The closer we got, the stronger the scent of cigarettes and marijuana became. Now we’re in reaching distance of the bowling alley door, showing our VIP passes, I opened the door as smoke clouds flooded the ceiling into the night sky.

You can hear the crunching under your feet in the crisp October air. It's Halloween and you're not out with the rest, you wanted to take a detour to a party and no one wanted to go with you so you decided to go alone. It's hair raising, being alone on a night like this and feeling so vulnerable to any persons or creature in this dark wonderland. The fog is like a blanket covering the ground and you can't see anything below your shins, you feel your skin crawling as you hear more crunching but it's not coming from your own two feet. You pause and look around, seeing nothing and your heart begins to race although you don't start to run yet because you think it's just your mind playing tricks on you. Eyes peeled, you continue your way through

“Seth was sprinting toward her. His shirt was torn. He had blood on his face. Scores of fairies appeared to be in pursuit. Her initial thought was to make a joke about the fairies

Deafening screams ricocheted off the gray, blood-smeared cement walls.  My body became blanketed with a cold sweat, that made it hard to decide whether I was warm or freezing.  I received small glances of my surroundings as the strobe light blinded me.  My nose was filled with a pungent odor, making it impossible to breathe.  I thought I knew what I was getting myself into, but I was wrong.

Kit’s mother was able to handle her own bills, and clean her house. But her hearing was going and she refused a hearing aid. She thought people were talking about her. She was hearing singing and doorbells.

After a few more minutes of waiting Anna decided to get out of bed and walk down to the food court to see if her father was there. After getting out of bed, Anna found a note taped to her father’s chair that she hadn’t seen before scripted in scribbly letters saying Based on your actions he might come back don’t tell anyone about this and he will come back unharmed. Anna hurriedly found the bag of her clothes that her mother had delivered overnight and pulled on a hot pink mini skirt and a white long sleeve crop top. After getting dressed Anna opened her door and stepped outside, there was no one anywhere to be seen. She continued to walk down the hall and there was still no noise and no one in sight. She walked straight to the elevator and went down to the first floor where the food court should be, but there was no one there either, the hospital had been abandoned and she was sure that the songbook and the object that played her melody the night before were somehow behind it all. She ran back up to her room as carefully as she could trying not to hurt her arm, and once she arrived at the door she grabbed the music book off the desk beside of her bed, tried to flush it down the toilet, and stuffed her cell phone in her bag of clothes that her mom had bought. She was about to pick up her bag when she heard a new melody right outside of her door. La, La, La, La, La, La. La, La, La, La, La. La, La, La, La, La. La, La, La, La, La, La, La. She wanted to see what was making the noise so she carefully opened her door and peeked through the opened crack. There nothing was there! She grabbed her bag of clothes and ran down the steps as quickly as she could but then she heard a voice behind her, “Aaaaannnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaa!!!!” the voice moaned “Aaaaannnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaa it isn’t safe at your house!!!!” said the voice. She spun around and saw a scrawny old man

The streetlights flickered every other minute, as the sun hid behind the clouds, keeping the town a bit gloomy. I continued walking, unsure of where to go, but desperate to get back home. As I walked, I could hear laughing children echo all around me, and then the indistinct sound of the melody of the song echoed along with them. Looking ahead, I saw something, or someone standing off in the

That night I toss and turn on my new, obscenely comfortable mattress. My thoughts center on a girl's body falling through space, on a chute that opens a split second too late to slow her fall. Her body breaks on rocks and stone, the canopy drifting delicately down upon her. People crowd around, and when that shroud is pulled away, the face I see is Mabel's. My stomach hurts, a cramping I haven't felt since I first went cold turkey, four years ago, (Pizzolatto “Ghost Birds”).

Parallel to the mortals resided the Lumottu Valtakunta, which means Enchanted Kingdom. Lumottu Valtakunta is this bright area that is very warm and sunny all the time. It is always day and it has beautiful water fall trickling down the edge of the cliffs that surround it. There are an abundance of trees and flowers blooming all over the land. A thin veil exists between the mortal realm and the Lumottu Valtakunta that can be crossed in the in between places known as the “Tween.” The Tween exists between doorways, shadows, intersections, and the biggest portal exists at midnight, the in-between of night and day. Here in Lumottu Valtakunta, existed fairies, mischievous, but good-beings of nature. They are tiny winged-creatures. They attempt to

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it _Dennis P. Kimbro When Liam first fell ill that saying ran through my head like a zebra running through and open field but over and over and again. Liam was air flown to Iowa City where my mom and sister left me with the two younger kids to watch. It was a long night when I got the text on my phone that Liam coded and the Doctors had to resuscitate him. I have never felt that my heart was broken, it was like it was a dream. I kept telling myself that everything would be fine and that i had to collect myself because his brother and sister were watching me. I got another text 30 some minutes later say that the Doctors had to put Liam in a medically induced coma. His body wasn’t letting blood flow

Marilyn thought that she died. Even if not yet, anyway she would die soon: two days without water, in the dark and cold, on concrete floor. Though, she didn’t already feel the thirst, or damp cold, and she didn’t cry anymore. When she heard some noises upstairs, and then shuffling of the feet on the stairs, she raised herself from floor with a timid hope. Accustomed to total darkness, she saw a strip of pale light under the locked door. When the padlock rattled, she stepped closer and stood by the side of the door trying to make out who was it. With her heart wildly beating, she felt terror mixed with a faint hope - was it her fairy rescuer, or cruel tormentor, that came to do away with her.

It isn't unusual for this specific fiend to be summoned—from depleting Halloween party tricks in relinquished shelters to more authentic rituals in the woods—yet it needs to concede that this is the first time it's ever been called forward from its domain, down beneath the earth, into a claustrophobic lounge showered in dull pink sparkles shining from the old glass lights and an abundance of wide-eyed, frightening vintage porcelain dolls. Going with those peculiarities are tea cups and saucer sets placed on racks with frilly doilies sewed with the most extreme care, and cross-sewed 'Live, Love, Laugh' hung over the wooden-framed bed.

Coralie’s phone buzzed with a text from her boyfriend Jackson, ‘Come meet me at the beach’. Without hesitation, Coralie replied with a quick okay and replaced her pyjamas with a pair of dark skinny jeans and a plain white v-neck shirt. She was not in the least bit worried about the town’s set curfew as she thought the stories were all myths. The stories consisted of dark monsters and demons in the night that could bring the bravest of people to their knees. Totally ignoring these facts, Coralie and her beloved car Mindy arrived safely at the sandy shores. Closing the car door as quietly as she could, Coralie thought it’d be fun to sneak up and surprise her awaiting boyfriend sitting quietly by the water. The closer she got, she noticed the

A chilled breeze caused my hair to stand up on end, so I peek over my shoulder to see the window in my bedroom door open. The blue, polka-dotted whipped around violently but I couldn 't hear the sounds of a strong wind. Huh, could have sworn I 'd closed that. . . I spring to my feet and shiver as I step across the cold floor toward my room. On my tip-toes, I pull the screen down to shut it and take a minute to stare out the window. The moon cast a dim light over the small town, illuminating only the fronts of houses and the tip of trees, abandoning all else to darkness. A light fog danced in the distance and I smiled thinking how perfect it looked on Halloween 's night. I looked down from the top floor one last time then tugged the curtains shut.
