autumn life. Livelihood. DEsturction in its purest form. Hair waterfalling. Dreams burning. I am here and now in the simplest of sensations. In the purity of it all. Blue. Relxing. Turning into something. New and perfect. I promise. I promise.

Auburn. What a name. It told immeasurable amounts about me: My hair colour, my temperament, my culture. My name, of course. Funny what one word can do.

He couldn’t really think about the enormity of the situation. He just had to strip it down, simplify it so that he could push the concept through his brain. His coffin shone in the bright sunlight, and he was just glad that he couldn’t see his pale face inside.

The man started running away, and a chasing ensued, with the detective and his friend in pursuit. The criminal thought that he was invincible, and he would never be caught, but he’d underestimated the detective. The detective tricked him, and he accidentally ran right into a trap. They caught the thief.

The two women watched the other intently through the computer screen. “Who is she?” one asked. “She’s the hero,” the other responded. “Of the ‘novel,’ or so to speak.” “And who are we?” “The enemies, my dear. We are the enemies.”

Vines, twisting around red brick houses, holding everything together. Holding all the secrets in, with delicate iron bars that shield the windows and bolts that hold the doors closed. Closed to prevent the world from getting in and the secrets from getting out.

It reminds me of all the moments in life that go unnoticed, the hopes and dreams not acted on, only wanted. It never seems to bloom, life. Only get halfway there, then wither.

She felt the creeping sense of tiredness seep into her bones. It was a struggle just to keep her eyes open, just to put one foot in front of the other, but she knew each step took her closer and closer to her release. She was incredibly fatigued of this life she was living, of this town and this job, but she knew that each day, she got closer to the day she could just escape.

I looked down. The ground was already far away, the strange vendor shrinking into the distance. It was working. I was growing. It was a new bigining!

“Crap. They’ve hacked the mainframe. I think they’re sending a virus into the network…there it is. All systems down.” Mansfield slapped the keyboard. “How are they doing it? And what do they want?” Fender laughed. “We’re a secret underground organisation. They want everything.”

It was remarkable. He had a high, sharp nose, big green eyes and thin lips: Somehow, these little things made him stand out from the crowd like a naked man at a funeral. He was just so obviously inhuman.

“You have to invite me in. That’s how it works.” I was surprised. “O…kay. You can come in.” He swept me aside, and instantly I regretted my thoughtless decision.

He was the epitome of cool. Cool radiated off him in waves. He was miles too cool for school. And, of course, he was taken. “Oh, look at that slut hanging off his arm! Bet she only wants him for his looks!” said my friend Annie.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I frowned, and tried again. Nothing. Anna was looking at me with pity, and a little sadness. “They had to take out your vocal cords. There was no other way. You’ll…never speak again. I’m sorry Ashley!” She broke down in tears.

Ahead she could see the wreckage she’d cause through bleary eyes. Her red car seemed ever smaller, curled around an SUV and as they wheeled her into the ambulance she couldn’t stop thinking of his twisted face and what she had done. He’d never come back, he’d had everything ahead of him and now he had nothing but an empty shell of death.

I couldn’t see very far in the mist, but I could tell one thing: There was no going forward. Something solid rose out of the darkness with each step I took. There was nothing for it. I would have to turn back, and then who knew what would confront me.

I sighed. This was really getting old, this ‘big sister’ thing. I’d taken them to the park, taken them to the movies, taken them to McDonalds, and now I was out of ideas. It wasn’t as if I had any experience in this: What did they expect me to do?

I had never been a musical child. It just didn’t work: my mother had tried to get me interested, sending me to piano and guitar lessons, but I never had that skill. But now, it just clicked.

Posted By Maddy On 01.23.2013 @ 3:55 pm

It was true. I don’t know how I never understood that before. Surely there had been signs, surely…something to indicate that he felt like that… I would never forget the site of his bleeding, limp body lying there, wondering why, why, why, not letting my self see it as real.

The man had promised to visit within a week, but by Friday, Annabelle was beginning to doubt it. He had assured her that yes, he would come and make sure her mother was looked after, no, he would not forget, but Annabelle was beginning to realize that he had scarpered, leaving them stuck.

I couldn’t move. He placed the thin sheet on my skin. It was cool and sent goosebumps rushing up my arm. “Don’t worry.” he said “This won’t hurt a bit, I’m just going to take a sample and then be off.”

I wanted to crush them. End them with a single clench of my giant fist. I have this power now, I thought, why not use it? Why not ruin them, the way they had ruined me, why not take my sweet revenge?

The drumming was all. A rhythmic pounding which filled Chak from her seal fur boots to the tips of her night black hair. There was no time for anything else

The ship’s horn pierced her ears and the drum of footsteps pounding up the ramp made her eyes blurry. She could smell salt so vividly in the air it reminded her of the fish her father used to hang whenever he returned from his lengthy and dangerous trips at sea.

She watched herself in the mirror, grabbing at the skin around her hips and sucking in her stomach. As much as she wanted to believe her size didn’t matter, it did. Too much so. It was always there, nagging at the bag of her mind and making her feel just as worthless as she probably was.

As she looked up at him her eyes filled with tears. His mouth was set into a hard line of cold malice and she knew that her tired frame couldn’t take another beating. ‘Yes master…’ she whispered, grasping her sparrows knees to her chest and rubbing her thumb against the thick coating of dirt on them. As he bent towards her, eyes glinting, the stale smell of alcohol mixed with the urine stench on her ragged dress and made her stomach turn.

As the last rose petal floated to the bottom of the jar and landed with a soft ripple in the water she felt a tiny fissure line etch its way across her heart. He’d promised her, promised that he’d be back to save her from the torment. And now his time was up and she had to chose between the waring explanations in her head. Either he had moved on and given up on her. Or he was dead. She couldn’t decide which explanation was more painful, even though she knew it was horribly selfish to think that way. That somehow she’d rather have him dead than with another woman.

There really was no option. She either had to jump across the crevice and die trying, or fail to jump and die at the hands of his men. It seemed an obvious choice, and anyone else would have just made the leap. But she couldn’t. Her brain wasn’t wired that way. Her legs shook as she coiled them, preparing for the strongest form of rebellion against her brain, the one they’d manufactured and moulded – the one they made sure would never rebel. She was going to do it. She was going to disobey the code. And she had no idea what was waiting on the other side. For a brief moment, as she leaped and the wind rushed against her face, she considered that maybe she would just cease to exist if she broke the coding. Maybe there was nothing beyond it. But there was nothing but empty space beneath her anyway, so she hurled her hands forward, propelling her momentum faster and smacked chest first into the jagged rock. She registered the pain, but what coursed stronger through her veins was an alien feeling, like sweet hot butter running her. Rebellion.
