Short Story

“He had never slept in a better bed, Rainford decided”. General Zaroff fell asleep fast suddenly he heard a big BANG. He went outside to see nothing, all he saw was a dark forest he was in the middle of nowhere and now he is hearing stuff. “what is going on with me” he said. He went back inside and tried to wrap his mind around what just happened. He just couldn’t get it straight, so he decided to go back to sleep this time he woke up to a scream. HELP ME!!!! He jumped up so fast and ran outside but again he didn’t see anything, this time he got his shoe’s and decided to find out what was going on, so he ran out into the dark forest. All he saw was monkeys swinging in the tree’s, but he asked himself “why in the world are monkeys up at

"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.

Kassidy parked her car in a spot not too far away and backed in, hoping it would be easy to get out of when it was time to leave. Just in case she had to make a quick exit. While she and Caleb had stated they’d be friends, she was still a little hesitant whether or not being friends would work out for them. Too much history.

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

THE AIR WAS COLD AND THICK when they stepped outside of the castle. Dew hung on the tips of the blades of grass, brushing against her shoes as they walked across the grounds. Some shouts were audible from in front of and behind them; all excitement for the sport that the whole school loved so dearly.

The lime green walls were covered in various painting, some of which were there to teach the students about love and peace. However, the students were selfish and careless and even oblivious to their surroundings. They prioritized their designated group of friends, being strict and all with who could and couldn’t sit at their lunch tables. It was the same with good treatment and respect, only the most favorable ones received that. (Maybe remove this and change it)

There was a small whimper. Harry paused and looked towards the bathroom cursing under his breath. It was Louis he could see the boy's fluffy brown hair through the crack in the door.

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.

“Hello?” [ONE] rolled their eyes as they said the word. Come on, they were better than this. They didn’t need to talk to themselves.

If you’re reading this you probably are wanting to know what you were like back in your youth (Yes, you are old now). To start, I’ll tell you a little about what is going on in the family right now. Well, I just turned 18 and let’s just say so far I am enjoying it. Grandpa and Grandma just put addition on their house. Dad is still making up his mind on whether or not he wants to sell the ranger (he has been in the process of deciding whether to sell it or not for about two months now). Mom just got back from Texas the other day. Her job at Nelnet has her traveling almost every other week now. Our little brother, Caden is a freshman right now. He thinks he’s a tough guy because he’s almost as tall as me. Owen is constantly wrestling Max

Leaha fought the urge to focus on the screen that buzzed to life in her lap. The laptop could use a hell of an upgrade, one she already mapped out. But for now it would do, specially considering that it could not be tracked. Leaha wanted to dig into the files she had stolen, not only to learn what had set off the attack against them. But also to learn more about the people around her now. Leaha had never really trusted anyone, and the fact that she had almost allowed it before all this only pissed her off. But it proved her feelings on trusting others right in smooth move.

Harry slowly opened the door and frowned immediately. For the past ten minutes he had been searching the house for Louis and he found the omega lying naked on his bed. Louis perked his head up and grinned at Harry.

I can't say I'm elated this morning to spend the day with John. Nevertheless, I ordered myself out of bed and into the shower. Not wanting to entice John, I elected for a pair of jeans and a red hoodie, along with my leather coat, having tossed my pungent winter coat in the washing bin upon my return from the cafe last night. After my hair dried, I tied it back in a ponytail and inspected myself in the mirror. A plain Jane, just what I'd hoped for.
