I told Cameron everything, except the part about me being a sea witch. I don't think he'll be able handle that.

"So you take pictures of mythical creatures that you have believed in since you were 5."

"That is correct."

"Unbelievable."

"I'll tell you what's unbelievable. The fact that you're so calm. When I tell people my life story, they think I'm the craziest person they ever met."

"No, that's perfectly believable. You are insane!"

Oh the irony. "No Cameron, it's the truth."

Cameron got up and went inside.

I followed him. "Why don't you believe me?"

He turned around to face me. "Because I'm not...

This was the first time when Zean was going to talk bout his past. He continued “I want to talk… if you have time…” “oh yeah I do have” said Ben. “Ben...” Zean said looking at his shiny shoes, but Ben looked at his face. “ I lost my parents at very young age. I don’t remember much but yeah I know my dad was guitarist and mom used to play piano. I had a sister her name was Casey. I used to call her “love” and sometimes… chatterbox. The lips showed heavenly smile were now looking confused. But still he continued “my family was perfect. Our business was…I think was...

The Murder in Falling Haven
“I had never spoken a word in my life, and wasn’t planning to try. Next thing I knew, someone took the chance to away from me.”

“Hello, Lucas!” cried Beverly Claims, the village washerwoman. “Going back to the mansion with your daughter, I see?” Lucas Raymond smiled serenely at Beverly.
“Yes, Beverly,” he said happily. “We’ve just received word that my dear Uncle Charles had died the previous Tuesday.” Beverly’s round and composed...

Alexander left for Boston yesterday. He left me with spare keys to his apartment. I promised him I would go apologize to Grey. I wasn’t excited about it, but it had to be done. I was going to do it today, the sooner the better.
    I sighed as I rose from the leather couch, and took the keys from the hook. I walked to Grey’s house. It looked the same. Her car-well my car that I didn’t take with me-sat in the driveway. She didn’t have to work. I went up to the door and knocked.
    I stood there a moment, and waited. I heard footsteps and the door...

December 14, 1941. I, Chanhassen Dobbins, am a young thirteen year-old girl that is living in New York City. "Chanhassen Marie Dobbins!" My mother calls me. In my gray nightgown, I make my warm bed neatly. "Sometimes, I wish I was younger." I mumble to myself. As I change into my regular attire, I open the chipped wooden door from my bedroom and follow my mother's voice. Walking down the dark brown staircase, I see my mother sitting at the kitchen table drinking milk. "Ahhhh...! Chanhassen! Lydia wanted you to meet her in her father's cafe." She takes a sipof the mug with her chapped tan lips....

I went back home for a few hours. I smelt of old paper and cologne. I decided to get a shower; maybe it would calm my anxieties about tonight. As I scrubbed myself, I decided the only thing the shower was doing was ridding me of my office scent.
    I got out of the shower and put on some clothes. I wore a black, v-neck shirt, with a pair of tight black pants. I towel dried my hair, and messed it with some gel. I put on cologne, just in case anyone got close enough to smell me. I put the cologne down, and checked to make sure it was in place. My arm muscle twitched. I left...

Hey, so this is a poem Ive been thinking of for a long time,please read and comment!



The Spirit

The spirit rushes on,
Swifter than the wind,
To find answers,
To seek the way.

The spirit flows on,
Like the river.
Flowing on to find the ocean,
A home for all its dreams.

The spirit shines on,
Brighter than a thousand suns.
Shining on to clear the darkness,
To find the path.

The spirit lives on,
More eternal than the sea,
Living on to find its home,
Where all the ends shall meet.

“We’ve got him this time,” said Special Agent in Charge Sheelia Tanner of the FBI. She sat in the passenger seat of a plain blue sedan belonging to her partner, Special Agent Scott Carver. Scott was a fit, trim, athletically-built man with short blond hair, blue eyes, and chiseled features. He was average height and had a generally serious, but approachable look. Sheelia was only slightly shorter, still quite tall for a woman, also very fit but sleekly built like a dancer. Her father and mother were of mixed heritage, including black, white and Asian, and she seemed to draw all her features...

"It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right."

I can still remember the disappointment in those hazel eyes the moment I told him I was leaving. I couldn't stay - I had no choice. I still can't decide whether it hurt more to leave him, or to know I had been the one who caused the pain. What was I supposed to do? This child needed guidance and protection now more than ever, and I couldn't help him. For so long I had been the one to console him - make him feel safe - and it was coming to an end. It was... the rule.

"I need to go away, Alex. It's what imaginary friends do....

My stuff has already been moved down here to the jungle. I still can't shake off what happened yesterday, but Howl's been very sweet to me, assuring me everything's okay. Debbie has been helping me unpack my stuff and everything. Some people are still thinking that I'm crazy for moving down here, but I wanted to. Howl couldn't really adjust very well to my world, but with a little bit more time, I'll get used to his world more. Debbie ran up to me and hugged me and asked," Lil, I know this may sound ridiculous and silly, but is it okay if I may stay with you guys?" "Deb-" "I know it sounds...

    We had been training for this moment since the apocalypse.

    Two years ago a killer disease criss crossed the world. This disease killed people almost instantly. The people who were diagnosed died in a few horribly painful hours. Only a handful people survived. My twin sister, Victoria and I were one of those few people. Sadly, even our parents died of this disease. We were only twelve when it happened and I remember our parents begging on their deathbeds that we get the vaccine. The doctors would only give us the vaccine, not our parents.

    We...

I woke up after my nap, to find Howl is gone again. I looked out of the cave, seeing the waterfall running, but then I look down to see Howl. Howl is in the waterfall, washing himself, as if he were taking a shower or whatever. I left him alone, and went back to my nap. I had this very freaky dream while napping: I had a nightmare that I was back home in New York with Howl. Everyone back home looked demonic and scary. Mom and Dad didn't look like themselves. They looked non-human like and cannibalistic in a way that even scared me. Howl was no where to be found, as Adam was trying to kiss me...

My name is Michael Gavin I'm 14 live in Upland CA, and I have wings. I'm not exactly sure how it happened but it did. My childhood was normal, like really normal no wings at that time and I was popular-ish. Until, I hit puberty as my mom says my dad was killed in a car accident and it was just me and mom. Then things got weird I was hit by a car and was sent to the hospital obviously. I spent two months in that little white room, reading my Percy Jackson books, completely unaware of what the nurses were talking about outside my door as I read The Last Olympian for the zillionth time. My mom...

Forever
Forever you are mine
Forever I’ll be here
Forever is what you promised
Your heart is worth nothing
But the your soul is priceless
Forever can be a long time
Forever can be a long time cut short
It’s worth the suffering
It’s worth the sacrifice
To forever be yours
Forever protected by your eagle like wings
Forever loved by your ocean wide heart
Forever safe in your warm embrace
Forever is worth the wait
To be sliced thin
To stuffed thick
Forever is Forever
Forever is Eternity
Forever is a risk
Forever is a chance
Forever is worth the wait

preface

if the one person you told the truth to all the time was now the one person you have to keep it away from, would you?
would you be able to lie through your teeth and pray that he believes you? what if he was the one person you told everything to, he was the one who keeps you from falling apart, but if you told him anything he might be the one to bring you tummbling down.
if you had to chose between lieing to him, hurting him, and keeping him away from you, what would you chose? because if you dont chose right, he may very well die.
That day I thought I was a failure. I was sitting outside our house on a bench in my white dress, just staring at the dark sky while raindrops were running down my cheeks. It could have been tears as well, all I knew was that it was raining pretty hard.
As she noticed I was outside, she opened the door and told me to come inside, where it was warm. Her soft voice told me she was going to make some tea for me and that everything would be okay.
I didn't even look at her when I got up and started to run.



The grass felt wet and cold under my bare feet as I was running towards the nearby forest,...

I kept on laughing at his idiocy. I turned my head away when he caught me looking at him. I heard a slight chuckle behind me while Looi continued to make his way to the front of the long line while I followed him.
    “Hey, girlie!” I heard a voice shout. I turned to find the man looking at me and motioning me to come over there. Looi turned around and asked me, “What does he want?”
    “I don’t know.” I replied. I started to go over to where the man sat, but Looi stopped me with his hand around my upper arm. “No, he, he might be a child...

I am bored with love
and it's passionless limbs
that drape over my bed
in a lethargic state of impotence
while wearing the same red heart
my soul picked up hitchhiking
off highway serendipity
Now here we are
alone in togetherness
trying to build dreams
with two by fours and glue,
but even a home
won't tie us together
when our hearts live alone
Poetic vows cliched
into nothingness
like all words do, eventually
and we allowed our bodies to become another pair of hollow shadows that make love to a wall
instead of each other
and we wonder why
the roses are dying

previously: He sighed, Zack thought his chances with Kisa was slim. He knew by doing what he was doing, he was going to put Kisa in danger, but he couldn't stay away, he loves Kisa and he would do anything to keep her near him even if that meant putting her in danger. "Man", he thought, "I am so selfish".



Zack walked in to the lunch room and sat down, the people who were at the table got up and walked away. Kisa walked in after him, there eyes met, and kisa looked away. She wished that Zack would ask her out,Zack looked down. He was going to ask her to the dance which is in two weeks, "Kisa?"...
