I don't remember how long I've been running on the open grounds. It does seem long enough. But I was determined,devoted. Up above me,I noticed the jet planes streaking through the blue-black sky. I did not care. I did,but I'm not going to pay any more attention to it than the sinking feeling of hopelessness that wrapped my mind. The grounds were filled with rocks and sharp stones. Any other day,I would have bothered to watch my way trying not to fall onto the sharp stones which threatened to tear my skin,but not today. No,not today...
There were sirens screaming faraway,in my direction and I was headed straight towards them. I really wished I had paid attention to the rocks,because I tripped on one of them,and fell to the ground on my knees with my hands stretched out...

"Ahhhh,damn",I said through gritted teeth and took a moment to examine the injury. Sure enough,my hands bore a nasty cut as I expected. I shifted my posture and sat on the ground to examine the damage the sharp stones had done to knees. I didnt even need to roll my jeans to my kness to examine the damage,asI felt my blood infintesimally soaking through my jeans. I muttered a few more curse words,and tried to get up using the upper portion of palm to steady myself.As I began to rise,I noticed a bright light flooding the ground.
No,it can't be but some part of my mind echoed it was. My worst fear. I could even hear the soft whizzing above me. The only part of my body which was failing to believe the obvious was my eyes. Slowly hesitatingly I raised my eyes to the source of brilliant light.
Momentarily,I was blinded and my eyelids fluttered fighting to keep themselves open,but once my eyes adjusted,I could make out the faint outline of the space ship above me. Yes,my worst fear indeed. I'd heard that there was no coming back if they were to take me with them.

The thought of never seeing my family,my mother and sister filled my mind,but I knew I had to do this. I had to find him. Even if it meant walking right into my grave.So,I took a deep breath and with that all the fear left me. I felt neutral at last. I saw the the bright light amplify further. Then the rocky ground over which I treaded,disappeared as the only thing which surrounded me was the bright light.A silent thought raced my mind as I wondered whether that was the last thing I ever saw...

well here is the next part of my story, hope you enjoy x

Run, musn't stop running. Can't look back, it's too late now, he's going to chatch up any minute. She was going to get caught, she's going to die.

3 days earlier.

Alexis sat on her bed, in the dark holding onto a scrunched up piece of paper. It was a day after it had happened, after the secret was out.Her secret. She hadn't told her mother yet, she couldnt not again. Everytime she moved school something like this would happen, someone would ruin it, every time.Another tear slid down her face, then another, soon the balled up paper became...

Creating a world, whether for fantasy of sci-fi, is no easy task. Worlds contain wonders of all kinds, plus various cultures, climates, and creatures. From my own research, many writers use parts of this world, the "real" world, as the basis for their own worlds. I've compiled this guide from personal experience. Wherever possible, I've included examples. (Note: othe examples can be found in various places on this site. The avid user can find them with relative ease.)
LOCATION
The universe is a big place. Your world has to be somewhere. Its position in the universe could affect your characters...

Alone!

There once was a girl who biked and ran
with her best friend who had a bright orange tan
But then one day she when biking alone
and thats when she fell along way from home.

She lay still on the ground
not makeing a sound,and thats when she found
that she could not talk
let alone walk

As she slowly made her way home
she wished that she had a phone
so she could call for help
insted of put up with the pain that made her yelp.

She pushed her bike down the dusty track
with a sore haed and an acking back
Then she came to the place where her and her best friend met
just as the sun was begining to set

The next day at school she was no where in sight
which gave her best frined a very big fright
but she was a home tucked up in bed
with a sore leg and an acking head

Thats when she remebered what her best friend had said
about not going out bikeing alone
along way from home.

What do you think?(I think it is very bad) and sorry of the spelling.

You
It's the middle of the night,



And I can't sleep




Your face, planted with a smile



Are the only things I see




Your voice calling my name



Is the only thing I hear




I can feel your hand rubbing my back



Hearing you whisper ''good night''




I jump and look around,



And soon realize you are not there




I sob, tightly holding the gift you once gave me



It's right here, on my bed, in perfect condition.




30 minutes later, I wipe my face and go back to sleep…




I wake up once again



And the cycle starts all over again…

your mistakes don't define you, now. they don't tell you who you're not, or who you can never be. what's it take to get you to say you'll try? you've got to live this life like it's the only one you've got. what would you say, what would you do, if this was your last day? so, you found out today that life's not the same. not quite as good as yesterday.
and, yes, i know it hurts & i know your pain, but u never gave up this easily befor. such a beautiful thing to just throw away. i think you need to know that, of all the colors that you shine, this is surely not your best, it's really not your style. you should think about what you do, befor you do it, over and over again. i know you feel alone, that know one can figure you out, but you sould know that we just love to see you smile.i know you feel like you're lost, feel like you've drifted way to far away, but we can help you come back.

I wrote this yesterday when me and my boyfriend had a big fight and it's a fight that may go on for a long time. I know I am young to write something like this but, I guess it helps. Plus If you don't like it just tell me, ok?

The Power of Words
You and I had this big long fight,
It felt like the storm during the night.
It was verry sad and cold,

My friends had to like you a lot
and you felt like I forgot,
forgot about you.
But I had a prodject due.

You think you're mr. I'm so cool
but you used to act like a ghool.
Not to the people you love,
to the sensetive people like a dove.

How we spoke with eachother,
made you feel much better.
But the fight we had,
you said was nothing but it was bad.

See ya pal we're ova,
take the cell you gave me and do me a fava.
Just don't ever,
Never...
Talk to me again!

Example of the Maiden
Example of the Maiden
At night, far away, in ancient Japan...
A fair maiden slumbered, only to be awakened by blood curdling screams. She open her eyes to a frightening sight, the bodies of her most beloved servants and close relatives astray on the floor, lifeless, dead. She hastily slide open the doors to her room, and ran down the corridor, which was lit with the moonlight that seeped through the paper doors, which were now drenched in blood.
Though her limbs felt heavy, she ran as fast as her heart beat. Running away from the cries of her family still being slaughtered by an unknown murderer, away from what...

The Man With No Eyes Collection (1): The Actor




Sundown, sunrise.

Big smile!

(Tired eyes.)

I vanish into thin air.

An actor never fails.

(Lies.)

To give the world a rousing show

(While begging to be recognized.)

To shine as brightly as the sun

Upon the throne that we’ve devised.

A patchwork-quilt protagonist

A villain from the shadow realm

The work of the illusionist

When I, the actor, take the helm.

“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to see…”

The whisper marks my story’s birth.

The audience will gather ‘round.

(The jury to decide my worth.)


"The Man With No Eyes" is a series of poems, all of which are unfolding from one character's point of view. They are meant to represent an ongoing journey. So if you liked this one, stay tuned for more. :)

A/N: I finished writing this about five minutes ago, lol. It's actually a song, but I figured it would fit as a poem as well.

This poem/song was inspired by two things: 1) A few of my favorite anime couples, namely Ed x Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist and Hoshino x Tanabe from Planetes (AWESOME series). And 2) while my dad was in Iraq, he heard "My Immortal" for the first time and said he loved the idea behind it...but it was too sad/depressing because "the chorus was in past tense instead of present tense." So he asked me if maybe I could take the same concept and do my own thing with it. I...

I remember your books
In the hallway
I remember you cracking up
Microscopes in the garage
Those old parts
I love you more than anything

I remember your blue eyes
Looking into my emeralds
Like we lived in our own world
I remember you chasing
Our brother
Then falling asleep in my lap
I can still feel you curled up by my side
Little man
And even through that night I knew
You fought it hard as you could
Remember I
Held you and whispered

Come on, baby
With me
I'm never gonna leave
You behind
You were
My best
Thirteen years

I remember the first night
When my hope
Turned to crying and screaming your name
Flowers pile up in the...

She was beauty woven into a living being... If only that were the case. But as I stepped towards her, opening my mouth to speak, she faced me, never moving her feet to turn. We held eachother's gaze for a few agonizing moments. It seemed as though she was just going to stare at me until I did something.
When I reached this conclusion, i decided to take a step forward. As I did so, she began to shiver. Another step, and she began to twitch anxiously. Another step, this one seemed to be all she could take. Yet, I had to know. So I took one last step, and she broke.
Her eyes flashed and her hair...

Creating your own universe is a great way to pass time. It will also give you a rough outline for your writings. These are the steps I follow in creating Eden.
Step 1: Establish main geographical features. This will be crucial in establishing the settings in your stories. If a certain river has magical properties, you have to knw where the source of the river is to be able to pinpoint the source of the power.
Step 2: Establish lifeforms present on your world. You have to know what creatures live there before you can write their histories. If the dragons had not attempted to merge themselves with...

    “It all started about six years ago…my mom and dad were at the park playing with my younger brother, Tyler, on his fourth birthday. I had decided to hang out with my friends instead… now I wish that I had never made such an idiotic decision. Cause of that day at the park, someone came and murdered my parents and stole away my little brother. I know all of this because that dirt bag left a letter saying “ I murdered both of your parents and stole your little brother because when I went to kill him I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. So, I haven’t decided...

Sams POV
I am your normal, typical everyday teen who is 16 years old. Samatha is my real name; say it to my face and I will bite your head off. People say when there young, (girls anyway,) "Look mummy, I want to be a princess when I grow up, and I'm going to marry a handsome prince." To tell the truth, I used to be a girl like that. A girl who read every fairy tale she could get her hands on, and believe that they are real. It is a load of poison now. I had to learn that in real life, true love is rubbish and you won't grow up to be want you want. And in life, change happens quite alot and...
