Little Piece of Hope - Ch 1

Chapter One A thin woman dressed in a conservative, all gray dress places a beef filled dumpling and a half-full bottle of water on my tray once I reach her in the long line. Everyone is hungry, but it’s first come, first serve here, and I can’t help but feel selfish about some things, so I don’t even look behind me as the woman tells me what she tells everyone everyday: “Sorry, rations have been low lately. This is all I have to give you.” Mechanically I leave the line and look for the girl with the striking, orange hair. She tells me she was born blond, but I have trouble believing her with how much the color

Little Piece of Hope - Prologue

Prologue “Alaska?” I whispered, stepping slowly, warily, toward the small-framed girl before me. I once remember my mother telling me that Alaska used to be more than just a name; that Alaska was once a place. Something called a “state.” Alaska didn’t move. She didn’t even seem to have realized I’d spoken to her. Worried, I took another step towards her, but hesitated before I stood close enough to reach out and touch her. What if she was right? What if she had been chosen? If that was the case… …then this would be the last time I would see her ever again.

ENG1101 Journal 1 - You gotta believe me

‘Swamp Man’ Wants Pizza I shook my head and puffed out my cheeks. “Just don’t laugh. It’s pretty hard to remember all the details; it all kind of runs together. Just… You gotta believe me. Okay?” My friend, Skylar, just rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Okay, okay. I can’t help that all these things that ‘really happen to you’ sound so farfetched, though.” She cocked her eyebrow and smirked. “Admit it. They do.” I frowned. “I already admitted that it’s crazy. Anyway… I’m telling my story, now.” I took a deep breath and do

ENG1101 Journal 2 - A Funny Kind of Thing

Scraps the Dog I just can’t place my finger on why my girlfriend had wanted this dog so badly. It was a funny kind of dog. He was just kind of…dopey looking. All he did was stare at us when we took him into one of those little…cupboard things where they let you visit with the dogs. Despite his distant nature “He was the one.” She insisted. I couldn’t say “No.” So, here I am, now. Home alone looking at our funny dog – Scraps – trying to figure out some way to get him to do more than sit. I’m pretty certain he doesn’t know how to be a dog. I guess when she gets home I&#

ENG1101 Journal 4 - Anything for a Drink of Water

Fever Dream ‘So thirsty…’ The thought kept running through my mind, over and over again. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t even begin to think of anything other than how thirsty I was. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see that I was chained to a brick wall. Despite how cold the chains were against my wrists, they weren’t. In fact, they burned. Even the cold ground burned my flesh, which I realized was sparsely covered by a torn and dirty piece of cloth; a poor excuse for a dress. I glanced about the room, assessing the situation. It was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to escape, and I took notice that

Arayia - One-shot

A foolish mind might think of magic as a little bit of wand waving here and there. Chanting silly words or mixing up lizard eyes and bat spit. A literal mind would think of magic as a mere fantasy. Silly little things similar to what the foolish person would think, but only in books or other means of telling tales. I bet you want to ask “Well, which of them is correct?” Neither one. You see, magic is a very complex sort of thing. It can be utilized to do many different things, but at the same time you must be extraordinarily careful when using it. It isn’t something to be taken lightly. Not even a little bit. If you do&
