Now‚ March 18.. Clunk‚ clunk‚ clunk‚ clunk. I could hear the tapping of the Captain’s peg leg on the deck as he paced. I could also hear the slightly lighter thumping of my mother’s heavy boots as she took baskets of herbs up and down the stairs. The boots had originally belonged to Father‚ but Mother used them now‚ calling them more “seaworthy” compared to the delicate canvas boots that she used to wear. When Mother and I joined the Silent seven years ago‚ I was surprised as she almost immediately

“Yay”‚ I screamed after hearing that we were going to church. “I can’t wait to play with my fwend Jenny”. Imagining her graceful brown hair dancing in the wind. Her divine brown eyes reflecting my spoilt face like a mirror‚ her smile so bright it beats the giant bright ball in the sky. I put on my raspy brown plaid shirt that had race cars spotted all over the back and front. My diminutive khaki pants and went running into the living room where my dad carried me and brought me to the

PROLOGUE PROLOGUE Only fools became starfighter pilots‚ and my mother was one of them. It is dumb to put yourself at so much risk‚ because you may end up as a flaming fireball through space. Like my mother. You would never know if the Sinats would attack‚ or ambush‚ or raid. My point is‚ piloting a starfighter is very‚ very dangerous. And of course‚ my mother happened to be one of them; a flying‚ dangerous maniac. By my fathers definition‚ she was extra stupid‚ but I always thought that flying a

"I know what it’s like to be different‚ Evie‚" Brennan said soothingly. He knew how volatile Evie was right now and was only trying to calm her. "No‚ you don’t!" She exploded‚ "You have never been bullied! You have always been ’cool’ so you have never been called names‚ thrown around in the hallways or embarrassed everyday. You always had friends while I had no one. I was raised so dependent on my parents that I could never go against them when they said that my studies were more important than

I’m a caterpillar. Crawling around with not a single idea what my future holds for me. I have always felt I was different from all the other insects. They all seem to know who they are and what their purpose is. But not me‚ I don’t have the slightest clue. I have always felt that I’ve been trapped inside the completely wrong body. And that somehow when I was just a little larvae‚ I was mistaken and introduced as something I knew I wasn’t. Well they were correct about who I was physically but mentally

Daddoo Remember growing up not knowing exactly what your dad does for a living or not being able to explain it to anyone? You just know that we live in this huge house and he always wears a suit.

“Mary!” “GET THE FUCK OUT!” Blood splashes on my face. “STOP!” Roy shouts back‚ wiping a tear away and attempting to sweep the filthy red vital fluid off my face. He then encircles my waist with his two long arms. I hear a hiss that my brain decides to ignore. Hot lips touch my neck‚ living an inappropriate and ridiculous trail of light kisses on my flesh. The warmth is suffocating‚ but I keep whacking. Until I’m pulled away from the corpse‚ sucked into a very cold monochrome vortex. I fall flat
