Opening the door slightly‚ I was greeted with a thick wall of darkness. Peering out into the inky blackness of the passageway‚ I tried to clam myself down to go down to the kitchen to grab some candles to light up the house. I finally felt ready to go down ‚ as if I was fighting a war with the darkness. As I opened the door‚ the door seemed to come alive‚ making a creak sound‚ warning me not to go out of this room. Biting my lip‚ I groped around the black darkness. I quickly made my way towards the

Tom had always loved plants. He loved the way they would begin their lives as tiny seeds buried in their cosy little nests‚ and then‚ with all the essential ingredients a sprinkle of water‚ a cup of sunlight and a dash of time they would blossom into sharp Italian ballet dancers‚ their lively radiance beating against the cream-white window pane. Toms mother would grow these plants by the dozen‚ and‚ once a month‚ after harvest week‚ she would take all the plants away‚ replacing them with seemingly

“Are we there yet?” “No.” “Now are we there?” “Do you want me to turn this car around?!” Brothers are annoying. I’m fairly certain my mother agrees‚ based on the way she’s sighing with exasperation.

Summer was dead‚ but autumn had not yet been born when the ibis came to the bleeding tree. It’s strange that all this is so clear to me‚ now that time has had its way. But sometimes (like right now) I sit in the cool green parlor‚ and I remember Doodle. Doodle was about the craziest brother a boy ever had. Doodle was born when I was seven and was‚ from the start‚ a disappointment. He seemed all head‚ with a tiny body that was red and shriveled like an old man’s. Everybody thought he was going to

How To: Bumble Through Life I groan‚ and try to retreat back into whatever nonsensical dream I was inhabiting. But it’s too late. And I can no longer cling to the last shreds of sleep as my rest is ripped from me harshly by my mum‚ shouting upstairs. Like a falcon screeching a threatening cry before it strikes its helpless prey‚ inevitably bringing death. Perhaps more like a song bird giving a warning call before danger arrives. Maybe just like a mother getting real tired of yelling at her “lazy”

Sly sat at the wheel of his 69 BOSS Mustang staring at the bright red traffic lights. He glanced around at the two cars around him; he could see a black Nissan GTR and on his right a silver Porsche 911 turbo. He pushed the gas pedal‚ loudly revving the engine in anticipation of the green light. He was timing the light change having timed it earlier that day. He counted Three‚ Two‚ One‚ he put the car into gear and floored the accelerator‚ the car jerked forward and sped off the line spinning the

I sat in the bathroom and clicked the pause button. Stopping myself‚ I went outside and slowly gathered my thoughts‚ or what was left of them. I was just the ripe age of nine but for that day‚ I felt like I had more knowledge than the average person over the age of forty. Every rule and barrier and been deconstructed and thrown in a blender only to be pieced back into a new form almost alien-like.
