Short Story

It was a cold fall-ish day and school was just around the corner (number 10 on top 10 list of things I hate, and i hate a lot), And on exactly 8:00 my new neighbors called me and said they needed a job in babysitting. I had experience with that so I took the job. 15 minutes later, I walked over to the Garland’s house for the babysitting. When I opened the door, I got a whiff of blueberry pie. I don’t know if it was JUST blueberries, because I smelled other berries too. Standing in the kitchen was Mrs. Garland. I walked over to her and all of a sudden she explained why she was making the pie.

Wes 1's mom threatened that if he kept slacking off, she would send him to military school.

It was that Time of year again. The time of the year where I get dropped off at Hadleys for a week and we do whatever the heck we want, well I mean sometimes. It was last year around new years. It was when all three of my caregivers were out of town. So I really didn't have a place to stay besides Hadleys house. The first few days at Hadley’s were a breeze. We always had a ride to go somewhere, we didn't fight over stupid things and things we wanted to do were manageable. We were never really too bored of being at Hadleys house every day until new years eve day came around. During the day of new year's eve we weren't bored we had fun jumping on her snow filled trampoline, sledding down the big hill in her backyard, and making crappy cookies that when you bite into them it tasted as if you were biting into a stone. It wasn't until about mid evening when Hadley and I started to get bored out of our minds. Sherri and Denny weren't

On Thursday May 5th of 2015 everyone in the house was happy. We all got up and got ready for the day, just like any normal day. My older brother Tyler had been already out working on the roof of the shed because earlier that week it had stormed so bad that a tree branch had fallen on it and put a hole through the roof. My mother was up getting ready for work while my little sister, Faithllyn, and I was getting ready for school. After getting ready for school mom, Tyler, and I grabbed ourselves coffee and we all had breakfast together. It was a good start to the day; however, after eating, we all cleaned up a little bit and got ready to leave. Mom headed off to work while Faithllyn and I headed to

“Rachael! Sit down and get back to work! I’ve had it with you interrupting the class!” My marine biology professor screeched at the top of her withered lungs, startling everyone out of their work induced trance, especially me. Only moments beforehand I had been working quietly with my partner to identify the micro-fossils in front of us and now I was the center of attention in the worst way possible. I was stunned into silence, completely baffled as to why she was yelling or what she was even talking about.

“Don’t take my answer of ‘no’ as a coward’s response, but I’m trying to make it back home to my family. Up until this point, we’ve only been gassed. We’re still in the dark, but nothing is attacking us. I think if we tough it out, we’ll make it out of here alive. But if we go snooping in the dark, there’s no telling what we might find.”

“My Lord all divisions are in position,” relays Master Engineer Anzu bowing, and then thumping his right fist against his left chest. He was a trusted engineer and member of the Royal Caste. He endured decades of servitude remembering the Archlord since a Highborn Prince.

Have you ever heard the sharp pinging sound of the find my iphone alert? Well, imagine hearing that sharp pinging sound while you’re driving around at one in the morning. Oh, wait. I forgot to mention the most important part, my parents didn’t know I was out driving around with a bunch of friends at one in the morning. Keep in mind, the only people who can ping my phone from find my iphone are, my mom, dad, and brother. Immediately as the sound filled my ears, my heart stopped and my stomach dropped. Was this just a nasty prank that my brother decided to play on me? Although my mind was trying to convince myself it was, deep down in the pitch black pit of my stomach, I knew it wasn’t. I couldn’t even think of

The next few weeks became sort of routine for Jared. He’d bake bread, make breakfast, garden and clean later in the day. Every evening he’d lite a fire in the sitting room and sat on the floor leaning against Jensen’s legs as the alpha quietly drank away his demons. The upstairs of the manor was as unkempt as the downstairs of the house. Soon Jared had cleaned every room except for two. The master bedroom and the bedroom next to it. Jared found himself unwilling to open either door. His inner omega begging him to leave the rooms alone. He was at war with his inner omega. He wanted to clean the rooms and move on, but his omega was afraid of pissing off the alpha.

For months, I’ve been searching for information, and following every lead, I’ve received. Unfortunately, they’ve all been dead ends. I keep hoping Kennedy will show up safe and sound, but the more time that passes, the less likely it is to happen.

Staying in the middle of New York currently is bothersome. There is a raging heat outside and my air conditioning unit has broken down. No one comes into my shop, except for my regulars, anymore. No one believes in old styled medicine, anymore. No one, except, for the boy roaming in my shop comes in, anymore. He looks about fourteen and a little dirty, but who isn’t at his age. His footsteps cause my discolored floorboards to creak, I hope he doesn’t fall through one of them. His green eyes look lost, but his body knows where he is. He comes in regularly and at the same exact time, two o’clock p.m. His watch goes off, he turns it off, then he sets a new time, and begins to roam. Now, he is in the back end of my storefront, looking at the

Kissing the driver good-bye, Marlene Barnes exited the 2011 Malibu and waltzed across the parking lot. The raven-haired beauty with a taste for the finer things in life, unlocked the new, red sports, Mercedes parked in the doctor’s parking lot with the other expensive vehicles. Driving out onto Imperial Highway and down to Highway 74, with her thoughts lingering on the last few hours spent with her lover. Marlene drove faster than usual to get home ahead of Jerry and Andrew. Smiling as she drove into the garage, without seeing Jerry’s car parked in his usual spot. Marlene went into the house, after making a fresh pot of coffee, she sat at the table, she glanced through the mail while waiting for her husband and father-in-law to arrive.

Cynthia closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she entered the building of her new job. Today was the first day of her new found job. She was a bit nervous, and a little terrified just thinking about how her day was going to go.

It was New York City in 5028 when this tragedy was established. All people were forced to go bald! This was not okay according to anybody, especially Jessica. Jessica was a 15 year old girl who was particularly shy and quiet, her hair was her protection. But when she was told by the authorities that a new law was established that everyone had to go bald, she went crazy. Literally Crazy. She kicked the officers and ran away to an abandoned house in the area where she hid until the authorities found her and shaved her hair for her. But she put up a fight, and it was a good try.

It all starts on the side of Mt. Kilimanjaro, at the science and mining camp Alpha Site 18.
