I loved him. Yes, I did. He was one of the many I'd bragged about not doing something bad. He was kind, loving, and perfect in every way. Well, maybe not perfect. But I did love him. Tyler was a guy I loved above all men. He loved me, too, but that wasn't so when I got to learn about things. "Tyler!!" It was the day I caught him... cheating... with my best friend MOLLY! She was on top of him... RIDING. She was panting and making him scream. The stairs of the apartment creaked as I ran down with heavy feet. My heart was heavy too, with my mouth unable to speak. I was sobbing vehemently, and at the same time wishing, that I hadn't trusted Molly. She was a slut. A BLOODY one! I doubted if I'd be able to forgive her! 1 Like 1 Share |

Wednesdays used to be my favourite until something happened. I was in, playing video games the usual when a knock came on the door. I was forced to go open it when a voice came. There was no one there, I could see; only an empty hallway which got me scared. I was freaking out, with my hair fully erect. Shaken, I moved back inside, not knowing what to do. Jamming my hands together, I waited for a second knock, but none came. I was left with no choice but to go inside my bedroom. 1 Like 1 Share |

It was him, after all, I remember now. The way he smiled at me and had those dazzling eyes directly on me. He was sweet in every way and pretty cute. He could take any girl off her feet. Raymond, that was his name. He was the one I wished dearly to have and was my first love; the one I hoped to be the last. * * * The clock in my room struck. Noon, it signalled. It was time for me to get going. Lunch was in an hour, and I didn't want to be late. "Welcome, Trisha," Mrs Hans' voice rang. I smiled elegantly at her. Her red necklace attracted me. She looked really beautiful and had these gorgeous lips that anyone wouldn't fail to notice. "Hi, Mrs Hans…" "Mum?" It was Ray—dressed in a black tux, which was surprising. I felt ashamed, knowing that I had only my black jeans on with my jacket. "Well, come on in, Jody," Raymond smiled. He was staring at me. I felt shy, noticing that he was. He couldn't take his eyes off me a bit, and my heart melted knowing he was watching. "You're beautiful," He said. I blushed halfway, brushing my hair off. He ran a finger on my cheeks, and our eyes locked as his Mom went to the kitchen. _________ 1 Like 1 Share |

“Helga, wait up. Wait up, Helga. Helga…!” I remember vividly when my sister fled. It was on that night the last straw broke the camel's back. I was heartbroken when she found out that I was sleeping with her husband. It was disheartening, watching her flee. She had screamed her guts out and slammed the door in our faces. I couldn’t run after her, knowing I’d committed a grave crime. Mac, her man, was full of her greed. He wanted both of us and had taken me to bed. Our affairs started years before my sister found out. Five years, if we were counting. I was ashamed and wished I had never done something like that. Oh, why me? ![]() F~I~©~T~I~O~N 1 Like 1 Share |

The love of money made me do this. Killing Achigamsi, my love. It was disheartening, running the blade on her throat. I'd lured her that day to come stay with me, giving her the reason that I was missing her, though my real intention was to kill her. It was never my choice, you see. But I had to do it. Given the instruction to cut off her breasts, I looked down at my beloved in tears and hardened my heart right there. F~I~©~T~I~O~N GIRLS, BEWARE! 1 Like 1 Share |

MY_IMAGINARY_F®IEND Everybody would talk about how fancy or rich they were. But I couldn't say anything because of how poor I was. The house we lived in, was nothing to write home about. I envied those who talked about how luxurious theirs were, and worked towards having mine to enjoy the comfort. Being Cinderella was one thing I imagined most. I dreamt about being swept off my feet, and taken to where my heart wanted, with my Prince Charming smiling down at me. It was only a dream… yes, it was I knew it wasn't for me, and it wasn't happening anytime— "Ella? Ella!" I snapped out of my thoughts. Mother was calling me, and I hadn't yet begun... "Mother?" "Ella…!" I looked down at the broom. I was still in the same position she had left me. Oh, how she was going to scream. "Ella!" "Mother, I'm sweeping. Oh, I'm sweeping now." I began. The goats in the pen were still yet to be fed. And the chickens? "The chickens!" I yelled and dropped the broom. Dashing out of the room, I found the hens clucking with their young ones moving about. I quickly brought out the feed and sprinkled them on the ground. I added extras in their troughs and went back to sweeping. Then, I began fantasizing about him. My imaginary friend—when mother interrupted again. "You should take your chores seriously, Ella," "Yes, mother," I said. After-chore was my favourite time. It gave me the time to rest and tend to myself. I was looking in the mirror while brushing my hair. Mother walked in and stared sweetly. She was admiring me, I was sure. I couldn't help but turn and acknowledge her presence. "You’re so pretty , my dear," she said nicely. I blushed and looked in the mirror again, this time admiring my looks. Mother drew closer and placed her hands on my shoulders. I could feel the warmth. "What's with the hairdo?" Mom asked. "Oh, it's nothing, really," I said. She didn't want to believe it was nothing. Certainly, something was up. "Oh, do tell," I sighed. "Mother, you don't need to worry…" "Oh, I have to. My daughter's looking all pretty early. Certainly, it must be something." I laughed. I knew how persuasive Mom was. She wouldn't stop until she had gotten an answer. "Well, let's just say today is a happy day," I said with all smiles. I got up from the chair and took my brush—combed my hair on the way. Franz was already in the living room when I arrived. I placed my hand on his and let him lead me out as Mom watched. The village square was filled with people: Men, women, children—all going about their businesses. The airy breeze blew, tugging lightly at our hair; the red roses on the sidewalks beckoned to us to pluck them—they all smelled nice, making me do. I plucked out the petals of the one I picked. The flower's fragrance filled my nose as I walked hand in hand with Franz. "Here, Franz," I showed him a petal. "Smell this." I bumped into someone. To Be Cont'd 1 Like 1 Share |

The waterslide was my favourite. I'd go down it with my hands in the air. It turned out to be my least favourite, though, when I poured grease all over me. Dared by my classmates on that fateful day, I went down it, faster than before, and ended up being injured. |

Bam17: "Franz?" He was so real! "H-how are you real?" I couldn't believe someone I cooked up in my mind was. He was standing before me, my imaginary friend—just like how I'd imagined, he had a chiselled nose and an awkward jaw—which I still loved. "It can't be," I couldn't believe it. "How are you real?" I asked again. His firm nose twitched. Confused and not knowing what I meant, he looked down at me and behind, as though someone was standing there. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" I was lost. "Know me?" "It seems like you've seen a ghost," he said. I chuckled and moved a strand of my hair backwards. I'd seen a ghost, for sure, only that it was cute."I'm El," I stretched out my hand. "Ella." I didn't mind if I was the first to introduce myself. "Hans," He smiled. "Hans Bouvillon." he accepted the shake. My heart fluttered inside as our palms met. It felt like we had known each other before. Of course! He was my imaginary friend... turned real ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

Ruthless—brutal, words all linked. I hadn’t known about these words until today. The day my parents were killed and I was made to watch. “Lala! Lala!” It was on that fateful day. The day we were to leave for New Zealand. Mom had packed all our things and they were in the living room. She was running down the stairs with Dad following behind. I was excited to be on our way to Oceania, and I couldn’t wait to be on a plane. “Honey, take your jacket. Here, let me put it on.” I smiled as she did. Little me was overexcited. How lovely would it be to get out again? “Heart, where is it? My wristwatch.” “Oh, it’s on the stand, honey. There. Right there.” She pointed. I clung to her hand as she looked down at me, my baby teeth all showing. Dad got his watch on the DVD stand, and we set to leave, as the door pushed open. Pua! The sound of a gunshot, my Dad falling right to the floor. “Ah—” Pua! A second one, my Mom fell next. At that time I knew not what a gun was, and was scared because of how loud it was. My parents lay on the cold floor, bloody and as stiff as anything I’d seen. The shooter was gone, and I was left alone with my parents’ bodies to tend to. Could the world ever be so cruel? I stood in shock, dumb and frozen at the spot. Oh, why? R_A_W 1 Like 1 Share |

I was only in Jss2 when my parents died. Used to living in a place of comfort, I tried so hard to get back everything I once had, but it wasn't so easy. "Would you like to work with me, Adim?" "Yes, Boss." "Here," I was handed a gun. And that was how it began. Paid 50 every month; a heavy sum I could never achieve by doing meagre jobs, I was able to gain ground in two years—was only 15—was ready to walk away and be a boss of my own. A better boss than 'he'. I was certain that I could handle the situation. Being part of a syndicate gave me the confidence I thought I'd never have. My blood boiled every time. Each time I held a gun, I felt an ounce to kill. And it was that spirit that drove me to commit the greatest crime… killing my boss Mtagi… a story of how I'd done it to be written another day. ~A Jess Short 2 Likes 1 Share |

S_IM_P_LY S_H_O_R_T I was in love with a mafia. A man I never thought could hurt a fly. He was pretty sweet and kind, and all other things I could ever wish... I wanted so much for him to notice me. But it could never be. We were from two different worlds, how sad. If only It could be. 1 Like 1 Share |
