"We all make mistakes, right?" he asked her. She didn't answer, but he didn't truly expect her to. "We're only human, after all." He walked over to her and stroked her cheek. A stream of tears ran from her eyes down the side of her face, until they were caught by the cloth gag he had tied around her mouth.
Without warning, he pulled a knife from his belt and brought it up to her neck. Her eyes grew wide as he drew it across her throat. He pushed her over, blood rushing from the wound.
"Or maybe not," he said, dropping the knife. He turned and walked away, leaving h
"They call her the Dark Woman."
"Who calls her that?" I asked Emily, looking up from my notes. She glared at me, not bothering to hide her disdain. When she didn't answer, I looked back down at my notes. Direct eye contact always bothered her.
"The voices," she said at last. I knew what she was talking about. She'd been coming to see me for about a year now, after her parents discovered her hiding in a corner, begging the voices to quiet down. Even after all this time, she still firmly believed they were real, and not some auditory hallucination brought on by her condition.
"Now Emily," I said, "the voices aren't really here." As ex
"I know what you are."
Those words rang in Nynnia's head for the next few hours. The woman who had uttered the statement left shortly after, leaving Nynnia alone in the hospital room. For some reason, the doctor had told her he wanted to keep her overnight for observations, contrary to what he had told her before.
"I wonder if it had anything to do with that woman," Nynnia said aloud. Strange as she was, at least the woman had been company for her. With her gone, the room seemed far too empty and the beeping of the monitors was starting to get on her nerves. It had been one hell of a day and she was just too tired to think about anythi
Name's Efren. You might know me as lead singer and guitarist for the band XXX. According to my bio on the band's site, we started out as a local band, playing from my garage, until we were discovered by the big-wigs at our record label. But that's complete bullshit. We were created by the record label to maximize profits for them.
Even still, being a rock star must be amazing, right? For the most part, I suppose it is, but because of my...unique lineage, it's not all it's cracked up to be. See, I'm a nephilim: part human, part angel. Turns out Daddy Dearest had a thing for mortal women. So much so that he was willing to fall from gra

Nynnia's eyes shot open wide as she gasped for air. There were people all around, staring, talking, pointing. She thought back to the last few minutes, or what she assumed were the last few minutes. She was having difficulty remembering anything past the moment she spotted the library. Whatever had happened, she was now laying in the middle of the street, people surrounding her, and, was that blood?
She sat up, groaning. A man put his hand on her shoulder. "I don't know if that's such a good idea, miss. You just lay here until the ambulance gets here," he told her. She wasn't sure why she'd need an ambulance, she felt mostly fine, th

Nynnia was late for work. Again. As head librarian of the Pacifica-Sharp Park Library, it was inexcusable. She really had no idea what was going on with her lately. It began nearly a week ago, when she passed out at work suddenly. When she awoke, she was in the hospital and the doctor couldn't give her a definitive reason for it. Shrugging it off as just exhaustion, he suggested she take a bit of a break from work. She told him that she would, but had to make sure everything was in order for Jamie to take over for her.
She threw a piece of bread in the toaster while getting dressed. It

Colonel Nigel Wylde was angry. This operation just was not going as smooth as it ought to be. Between the grunts not knowing how to follow his orders and the witless civilians running around screaming and getting in the way, he was sure it would be an utter disaster. He was pleasantly surprised, however, when he heard one of his men shout "Got one!"
Wylde made his way towards the direction the voice had come from, striding forward with a stern look on his face, his hand reaching for his Desert Eagle. He drew it as he approached the figure crumpled on the ground. The woman, her green ha
The leaves crunched underneath her feet as she walked along what should have been a hiking path, but was, instead, covered in rich golds, oranges and reds. She pulled her scarf a bit tighter around her neck as a sudden gust picked up, leaves dancing in the sky. Days like this were what she lived for. The air was crisp and cool and it felt wonderful when she inhaled and filled her lungs with it. The sun hung high in the sky, shining brightly, but not providing much in the way of warmth. The air was the perfect shade of blue and what clouds there were seemed fluffy and light, with just a hint of gray, as if they were thinking about raining

I've discovered I'm able to write more if I do it by hand and then type it out instead of only doing it digitally. The work might be rougher, but it actually gets finished. My newest work, It's an Ocean..., is a good example of that. I'd been trying to write it up for over a week while sitting at the computer. I take my liquid pencil and notebook and sit and write and I end up with the rough draft in a few hours. If you would, please give me an honest critique on where I can improve. It's always much appreciated.

Put up a new short story. First thing I've been able to write since my computer went down. It's still down now and I'm borrowing my mother's new laptop until I get mine back.
