Short Writing : A Short Story

In the woods when the sun was just starting to set, there was a van driving on a long-abandoned road, behind the wheel of said van was a tired looking girl who seemed to be about 19. She took a sip of the long cold coffee, and turned to the turquoise haired girl sitting next to her.

“Both your Mother and I want you to follow your heart. Let it lead you through the dark times...and the good, but don’t forget to use your head.” Gray watched as the wolves slowly disappeared right in front of her eyes.

The sound of the door closing snapped the red head out of her thoughts. The girl looked up to see her little brother crying. "Liam what's wrong?" Her, usual, soft voice cracking.

Michael's back hurt from sleeping on the hard wooden chair but he didn’t mind since he was well rested. He sat up cracking his back. It was still dark out. He noticed there was a note left on his chest. ‘We all went out on the boat to see the sunrise. Be back by noon - Ashton’. Michael didn’t care that they left him he never cared for boats. He stumbled half awake up the stairs making his way to the bedroom him and the boys were supposed to share. He turned the corner and opened the door. Michael froze when he was met with the site of Harry Styles half naked sprawled out on the bed. The only thing covering him was a pair of navy blue pants that cut off just above the ankle.

Eli was in the shop checking on the shipment that had come in this morning. Glad to see that the parts he had ordered for his current restoration project were all here and in good condition. This put him in a great mood.

“We’re going to try and slip him through the forest.” He hurried toward the door. “See to your mother and sister.”

Sergeant Morse was pulling night duty in the orderly room when a woman called, asking for Billy Hart. He told her that Specialist Hart had shipped out for Iraq a week earlier. She said, “Billy Hart? You sure? He never said a word about shipping out.”

Ruby tuned him out, opting instead to close her eyes and feel the wind on her face. A westward wind, she decided, opening her eyes again as the first trainee, far to her left, was launched. I’ll have to angle slightly eastward if I want to stay with the group, given how light I am. On the other hand, if I stay to the outskirts, I might be able to find a good partner without being spotted…

Beep! Beep! Be- “uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhgg” Why do I have to do this. I know my way around the house already. I mean I’ll stay out of the areas that I’m afraid that child-killing maniacs are camping out in. I just wanna stay home, be with mom. Anything but New Mexico with Nana and Papa. Plus I don’t even know anybody in town so it’s not like anyone’s trying to break into our own house.

September 24, Toby Rogers and his mother were driving home from the hospital, it was a quiet drive home. The police and ambulance were still there from the car crash, “She had to die so soon, didn’t she..?” Toby said sniffling for his sister. “She was a good person, Toby.” His mother said. Toby would start biting at his bandaged wrists, “Stop that now.” His mother said, slightly turning her head towards him, then turning back to the road. Yet, Toby continued to bite at his bandages. Thirty minutes passed, they were home. Pulling in they saw a white van, Toby's father's car… “Why is he here?” Toby would slowly open the door, getting out. “He’s your father, he has come here to see you!” His mother was staring at him, “But he couldn’t see her at the hospital before she died?” He said, staring back at her. “Toby..” She looked over at his father, Then closing the door, walking around the car. She’d put her arm around Toby, walking to the door, “No hug for me?” Toby’s father said they both ignored him, walking inside. Toby glared at his father, still following his mother, “He can walk himself, he’s seventeen.” His father said, his mother ignored him “I’ll walk you to your room and call you when dinner's finished.” His mother said. “No. I can walk myself.” He said again glaring at his father. Toby began stumbling up the stairs, then slamming his door shut flopping onto his bed. Toby began to moan, “Why is he here..” he sounded mad, “Toby?” his father slightly opened the door,

She smiled. She knew that Ashutosh was a very sensitive and mature human being. She was sure that whatever happened that night did not make him disappointed or angry. There was no sign of hesitation in his face. She knew that she had not given the answer of his question.

The year is 4017, 9 years since the apocalypse began. The need for essential resources was becoming more and more necessary. People everywhere were becoming more and more violent as the days went on. Grocery stores were no longer stocked, jobs were no longer existeda thing, schools were no longer in session, and people were no longer had friends nor family. No one could support a family. People couldn’t trust their own families. Just a week ago, a 9-year-old girl killed her whole family by stabbing them 7 times just to have the last can of beans they had to herself. It was every man for themselves now. Everything in the world had changed, all technology was practically gone, most animals had been killed or mutated. The only thing that stayed the same was a single military base. The base had food, water, electricity, animals, and medicine. It wasThe only truly civilized place left. Many journeyed to the military base. It was located in what used to be Arizona. The only way you could get to it was if you made it across the booby-trapped terrain guarding its entrance. However, even if you made it through the traps, the guards could deny you access, that is if you didn’t have the materials the base needed. Now that you know the information, I’ll tell you about the protagonist and his story.

“I still don’t think this is a good idea,” Steve’s voice brought me out of my mental planning.

Once in an old time, there was a princess named Shaelyn. She lived in a castle with her two parents King Craig and Queen Angie. She was a short 15-year-old brunette that didn’t have many friends. She was very shy and would have much rathered sit in her room alone all day instead of going out. Her mother had recently fallen ill and died unexpectedly. Shaelyn and her mother had a very strong bond, they were like best friends. When her mother had suddenly died she was devastated that she would never be able to see her again and would have done anything for one more goodbye.

“NO” was the first word that she uttered when he was enjoying squeezing the nectar of her purity. He was the same person who fought against the whole world only to marry her three months ago. He was the same person who took a vow to protect her from the outer world, but he forgot to mention that one day he won’t be able to control his inner demon. Today, two months after their marriage, he came back late from the office and starts unbuttoning his shirt and she is not ready for what he wants. She is on her period. He was tired and jaded and wanted that pleasure which he hasn’t felt from the last two days because of his busy schedule.
