Short Story

One afternoon staff set up a bubble station outside, where children could use their own independents to pour bubbles into containers and blow as many bubbles as they wanted with all different kinds of bubble wands. Staff came over to the bubble station and Charlie, Orlando, and Caroline said “ashley we need something flat to put the bubbles in.” We went and found a flat container to put bubbles. They started to use the bigger bubble wands. Then they created their own way to blow bubbles. Using their hands they made circles with their finger and then place then into the flat container to get the bubble on their hands and started to blow the bubbles. The bubbles they were making were huge. I could tell how excited and proud they were when they asked me to keep watching

it is life, Mama!” Mama: “Oh—so now its life. Money is life. Once upon a

"Here I thought this was cramped when I was stuck in here alone," Cat mutters, voice barely above a whisper. If they're on schedule they're still more than half an hour away from inspection, but old habits die hard and it's better to be safe than sorry.

If. If this, if that. If not for that, I'd have had it in the bag. "I'd have won if he didn't topdeck raigeki." Ramram in the grave and a whiptail in hand and you choose to summon drident with your chakanine. If he didn't have raigeki though! Yeah I guess your double drident wins if he didn't have raigeki but he had no board wipes in his grave and you go for it anyway. "If he didn't have honest!" as you sit there with dimensional prison in hand. Yeah, good on ya. If.

Montague La-Rose stepped into the darkness. A cold wind screamed from the belly of the mountain, carrying black sediment that thickened the air. Rain from the surface dripped down through the cavern’s stone ceilings. With the dwindling light of his torch, he listened to the black space around him and followed the running water, knowing that with each step he was descending closer to the core of planet Naan, where an underground network of tunnels reached across the lands. This network was connected to the heart of the planet where a message station, created long ago by entities of the Higher Dimensions, enabled communication with the heavens and the other four known worlds. Each planet had been equipped with these intricate machines, as

In the privacy of her bedroom, Kalyssa dropped the tough girl act and eased off her trench coat, grimacing when her shoulder protested. Man, she was glad Master Jian hadn't pushed to check her injuries, instead telling her to take care of it. With the adrenaline gone, every muscle in her body seemed on fire, the cut on her neck stung, her legs felt like noodles, and some bastard was bashing away at a drum kit inside her skull.

When I woke up that beautiful Saturday morning I remembered that my cousin was coming over to help decorate our barn for Halloween. She had to do it for a service project with a friend; also she had to work for five hours. I was excited at first but then I remembered the ladders. “ Here are all the decorations that I want up,” Mom said, “and you have to put all of the garland up high so that none of the teenagers will knock them down.”

After the third day of tension, Jess spoke with Austin in their rooms; once more cleaning his guns. “It’s time boy.” “Time for what ol’ man?” “A time to kill or be killed. Austin, I’d appreciate it if you’d take Clara and Lena on their buggy ride earlier than usual today.” Austin argumentatively replied “I ain’t leaven’ you Jess! I’ll make sure the ladies stay out of sight but if one of us dies, Clara and Angel deserve to grieve.” “Angel? You mean Lena?” Jess said as he finally looked away from his guns. “Yes Angel. I’m the only one allowed to call her that so you’d best call her by Lena until she’s okay with it.” “So, you finally figured out you love the girl.” Jess asked. “Yes Jess and I intend to ask her to marry me when

Although if anything ever were to happen, she would be a calm voice of reason, because she wisely understood that panicking wouldn’t help anyone, especially herself.

“He’s a businessman with a diversified portfolio.” This was true. Her father owned many buildings around the city as well as the team. She had not lied. “How about you, what do you do for a living?”

“Shuttle leaving the surface in one hour,” the intercom said. It seemed as if the whole world was boarding the shuttles, in fact, that was probably true. The port crowded with thousands of people boarding a few spaceships. Most came in pairs of two, almost like Noah’s Ark. Some folks came with a bit more of a package, taking their kids, their moms, and almost everyone they knew. Children bounced, friends were getting acquainted as they were excited about the adventure that awaited. Yet there were the few who hung their heads alone. Their lives filled with loss that what the world had taken from them. Below their gas masks were faces wrinkled with sorrow.

The low murmuring in our head rises to a shout when we step through the doors of the institution. It's here to help, it's here to help it's here to help it's here to- The voices in our head were suddenly shouting over each other, desperate to have their opinions heard. Were gonna die! Were gonna- Help me! Help m-

On a calm summers morning in the year 2018, Jack went to work at In-N-Out burger. He was flipping burgers and making milkshakes when his boss came over to remind him about his lunch break. Jack hopped in the car and drove near the Dolby Theater to Subway for lunch. He gave his order and waited for his sandwich. Jack looked out the window and saw the busy hustle and bustle of downtown LA. He saw the stars of celebrities and the crazy traffic, the tall buildings and the crazy culture. Moments later his sandwich was ready and he drove into the standstill traffic. Jack looked at his phone in the motionless traffic and found his lunch break had ended. Jack became stressed as his hopes of making it back to work was zero to none. Jack attempted

“I feel dirty…” He mumbled. Harry sighed and ran his hand through the omegas feathery hair.

Before Xion could even lift herself out of bed to open the door, Roxas let himself into her room and plopped himself down on the bed. "Hey! Mornin' Xion!" He greeted.
