The Story Of A Short Story

She had grabbed her pink Cruiser, and like always, I had ended up riding her little brother’s bike. We made our way out of the garage, into the cul de sac, and ended up taking a left turn onto the narrow road, where only three houses resided. This road was always one of my favorite places in town. Though short, the road had a canopy of willows and a bright blue house on the left hand side. Once we passed the blue house, the bike path dipped down and suddenly, we were in the park. Today, Jacqueline and I decided to go the left side of the park. We passed a line of trees and proceeded the route. This part of the bike trail followed the fence of the blue house, leading to the swale, and then the garden. About every 50 feet, we passed a bench. What's the worst thing that could happen to two second grade girls on

“Time to wake up” Her grandmother yelled from the kitchen as she was making breakfast, “you’re going to be late for school.”

It was a cold rainy night. Mrs. Fester was making supper for her three kids in their desolate kitchen. Victor, Elizabeth, and Matilda were gathered by the fireplace watching television.“ Supper's ready,” yelled Mrs. Fester. The kids came running into the kitchen. When they sat down their mother started to cry. She had just found out that Mr. Fester had died. She didn’t know how she was going to tell her kids. “What’s wrong mother,” said Victor. “Kids I know this is hard, but your father was coming home from work and he couldn’t see very well because of the rain. He thought he would pull over to the side of the road, so he could wait for the rain to stop. When he started to pull over he didn’t realize he was pulling over to where another

It was extremely difficult to sit down after a hard day’s work without Mabel hopping up onto Hanna’s lap. One afternoon, while the children were all at school, Hanna just wanted some peace and quiet. Assured Mabel was sound asleep in her bed next to the dishwasher, Hanna quietly tiptoed into the living room. Mabel bounded out of the kitchen, jumping onto the couch before Hanna even reached the middle of the living room. Mabel ran

“Come on Louis, just tip your head back.” Niall hissed. The other omega groaned and began to splash at the dirty tub water. Liam looked over his shoulder and frowned. He could see that his own omega was becoming frustrated. Like expected Louis was being difficult. He was beginning to wish Ed had given him more medication to make him sleep longer, it would certainly make it easier to get things done. Even though Louis couldn’t walk well yet, refused to speak, and was still quite out of it he managed to still be sassy.

The next morning, Amanda got up and began to make breakfast. Her mother was still fast asleep, but this wasn’t really new to Amanda. Whenever Linda went “out” it always took her a little longer to get up the next day.

The tip of the fluffy, light brown tail disappeared around the corner. I gave chase. My paws pounded on the hard ground, scattering pebbles, and the wind ruffling my fur made me feel like I was flying. I was gaining on it. If I could reach it before he reached the grove of trees…

On July 21st, a serious crime had happened. The town of Eastville will never be the same. The people, animals, and the town had completely changed, especially Penny. Penny will never be Penny ever again.

I bask in the destruction as the symbols of the most powerful beings on Earth simply melt away. I shut my eyes and let the snow wash over my skin, arms outstretched. I open my eyes to Jensen chuckling. “What?” I ask.

One evening in late fall a young innocent girl named Mary was walking along the road when she saw a poor defenseless lamb. She started to approach the lamb, and as she got closer… and closer… and closer, mary notices something around the lamb's neck. It was a collar of some sort but did not have a name tag on it. She decided to take it home and put signs up for a missing lamb. When they got back to Mary’s house the lamb noticed that the house was kind of mysterious looking, two gargoyles were placed at each side of the porch along with a statue of a weeping angel.

In the beginning, there was only darkness. For many years this darkness remained. There were no stars, no sun, and no earth. But one day something very special happened. The sun and a star were made. The Sun was called by the name of Fred and the star was referred to as Jacky. Fred and Jacky loved the space they had together for millions of years but this love did not last. Jacky became lonely and wished to find more stars like her. Fred was devastated to see her in so much distress. So he gave a strand of his sunlight to Jacky. Jacky was very thankful that Fred had done this. The strand of light Fred gave to jacky made thousands of stars. Both Jacky and Fred were very happy once again. Fred and Jacky started to drift apart. This upset Fred because he didn't have any other friends. Jacky didn't notice because she was too busy hanging out with her new friends. Fred became depressed and started to lose his light. One day a huge meteor came from out of nowhere. This huge meteor was named Terra. Terra was an oddball because she was very plain and was not as beautiful as the stars. The stars rejected Terra. Terra was really sad for a long time. Until one day she bumped into the sun. The sun had seen nothing like Terra in his life and he thought she was the most beautiful thing in the whole universe. Terra and Fred became really close friends and they both started to fall in love. Fred asked Terra if she would marry him. They had a love that filled the universe with light. Terra and Fred decided they wanted to have kids. Their plan for children brought them a big surprise. They had octuplets planets. These planets were much smaller than the stars and they worshipped their parents and revolved their life around their dad. Terra and Fred waited three more months until they had their ninth planet. This planet they named Earth and she was special. The other planets became jealous because the parents treated her with more delicacy and showered her with more love. Earth was bullied for a long time by her siblings. The Earth started to become extremely wary of her life and felt all alone. Fred and Terra decided they should help and gave her a friend. This new friend named Moon would become her eternal

Mavis can hear shouting. She can tell it’s Ian because they have had plenty of yelling matches before, but instead of differing tastes in movies, Mavis can tell there is true contempt in his voice. Rattling her head, she can faintly see Leon collapsed on the other side of the room. Her heart tugs. She tries to talk to him, yet Ian’s voice drowns her out. Mavis wants to scream at Ian until she looks at him, and he his face isn’t twisted with anger, but fear. She follows his line of sight to a man that looks like he is what caused the gorge in the Grand Canyon by jumping down a little hard. The giant man is doing a pitiful job of ignoring Ian since his face is red and keeps glowering at Ian. Mavis uses the luck that The Forest gave her to encompass Ian with fortune. Her luck is noticeably weaker than normal, and Mavis understands that they were taken far from the school, and further from The Forest. She tries to move her hands, but they seem to be restrained. When she looks up, there are stars. Ian stops berating the man when a door opens to let in magnolias and councilwomen Morris. Mavis’s can’t comprehend the situation, but Ian seems to understand something because instead of yelling profanities he casts a spell that breaks whatever was holding his hands together. Mavis watches as Ian fends off physical attacks from the giant man and bolts of lightning from Morris that crackle the sky above and sends a blanket of shattered glass onto them. Ian isn’t attempting to be careful because Mavis is supporting him. He seems to know that by just moving around her luck will make him step away from the bombarding duo. Without Mavis noticing, Leon is standing and casting weaker spells than Ian. Morris easily paralyzes Leon, which gives Ian time to cast illegal spells that opens a glittering fissure in the room and that causes the giant man to bleed from his pores. Mavis feels her restraints burst from her wrists in flames. Ian is an amazing multitasker she notes. He is also at Leon’s side. Before Morris can summon another surge of strikes, Mavis tackles her. Ian takes the opportunity to toss Leon into the fissure. Mavis recognizes it as a portal now. She learned about illegal spells in school, and the portal takes the

At half past nine Matilda picked up her bookmark and closed the book around it. She rose, walked across the room and put it back in the bookcase. She placed her glasses in the case and put it where she always kept them. Without looking at John, she went to the bathroom like she always did at half past nine.

On June 25th One cold early winter morning Evan, a 14 year old dark skinned Japanese boy woke up from a horrifying nightmare about being drowned by a 7 foot wave at Honolii when he was Bodyboarding during winter season when the waves are pumping. He usually has peaceful long naps, but his is the first time in awhile that he had gotten a nightmare. It was about 4:50am and Evan couldn't seem to go back to sleep because he'd been so afraid of the dream; thoughts of him drowning was going thru his mind . As he watched the time come by faster he decided to call his friend Rylan and tell him about why he woke up so early. Rylan is his classmate also his neighbor that has been his friend since elementary days. Evan sat up from his sleeping position and reached above his pillow to pick up his cell phone so he could give Rylan a call, but as he clinched onto his cell phone a cockroach scattered over his hand then onto the bed. Once the cockroach the size of ice cube disappeared behind the crack of the bed against the wall, he unlocked his phone using his fingerprint and attempted to call Rylan but he did not answer after a few calls because it was so early, it was about 5:15am when Rylan answered his face time as if he only slept for 1 hour. He seemed to be tired because he answered the phone by saying “go back to sleep “ in a lazy tone. So Evan just let him go back to sleep and hung up the phone with no response. Evan jumped up from his bed, rushed to the bathroom and brushed his

Sneaking into her own house, well past her bedtime, Veronica sorely regretted sending her dad only one 'be home soon!' text, hours before. She knew she should've told him how late she was going to be, but that would've entailed telling him where she, in fact, was... Fondly, she remembered their old house, with it's two floors, and thick walls, and multitude of windows to shimmy into. Turning the doorknob to her actual house, with a soft click of her key, Veronica was in, still holding her breath. Maybe she could sneak off to bed, get some sleep-
