kitchen doing my homework, I suddenly realized that someone was intently watching me through a nearby window. My heart felt like it was pounding 1,000 beats per minute. I started to sweat and felt like I was going to start crying. Out of the corner of my eye I saw it was a woman about thirty-six years old. I thought, Do I run and hide or do I not move and pretend I didn’t see her? I peaked up and noticed the woman had ducked below the window. I heard shuffling in the bushes below the window and a shark

Wolfkit blinked open her eyes. At first, the dim light shining through the leaves above blinded her sensitive eyes. She took a look around, gathering in the shape of her mother and her two siblings. Sleepily she stretched and curled into a tighter ball. A paw prodded her back and Wolfkit flopped over onto her other side. “Wolfkit, sweetie, your brother and sister are up and playing,” Moonfeather, her mother, mewed gently. Wolfkit jumped up on to her paws and looked up. She stared at her mother

I picked the panel at the top right of page 103. I picked this panel because of its use of a bleeding gutter and mildly abstract art which slowed down time.

Because of its lack of speech balloons and context, it leaves an endless amount of room for the reader to use closure and create any story they want to. The use of the bleeding gutter is the main reason I picked this

There’s blood on her hands but she doesn’t know if it is her own or not. It coats the end of her fingers and stains the backs of her hands. It has smeared across her forearms and dribbled down the contours of her forearms. It clogs the creases of her fingerprints and forms smudges across her wrists. There’s blood in her mouth but she doesn’t know whether it belongs to her tongue or her teeth. It covers the point of her chin and drips onto the front of her shirt. It splatters up the curve of her

Elena woke up one day and was sure that she was dying. The realization came fast and clear like water from those Siberian Springs from the PBS documentaries she liked to watch. It wasn’t a series of thoughts, like the racing, panic filled ones that came two weeks ago when the doctor told Lola that Elena was ill and needed to be taken to the emergency room. Over the past three weeks, Elena had gotten weaker and developed a rash over her face. The rash had convinced Lola that Elena wasn’t just faking

I caught sight of my target: the Beater. He stood lanky, with dark robes. His face appearedsuddenly as sunlight shifted in through the window. I almost fell off the three barrels I was standing on. He hadhair as black as night, and piercing green eyes that seemed to stare through the wall and pick my feelings apart,piece by piece. Gods, was he handsome. Even better looking than--Don’t go there now, don’t think about him.You left him, and it was your choice. To save him. He was speaking to another

The Loop by Sunnie Bell Gemma woke up with chills down her spine and goosebumps up and down her cold body. She took a long look around her, trying to remember this plain room or how she got there. It wasn’t familiar to her at all. As Gemma rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up, she felt sick to her stomach. Slumped up against the hard concrete wall, she started getting uncomfortable, with the cold concrete surface pushed against her fingertips. The back of her head throbbed, how long had she been crumpled

Iridian eventually sat up on the bed, and he took my hand into his, as he said, "I don't know how to handle you," he looked down at our hands intertwined, and I looked over at him as he continued, "and if you feel sorry for hurting others, why do you continue to do so?" Using my thumb, I traced along the curves of his hand slowly. "I can't tell you," I stated, "not like this at least." I stared down at our hands as well, and I unconsciously tightened my grip a little. "It's not like I want to do

easily came open and she saw a 17ft by 15ft room with black and white mid scale damask wallpaper as well as a metro silk hot pink area rug. The room was filled with an assortment of dolls, all of them had long and tousled pitch black hair, blood red eyes and black painted fingernails. They appeared to be about eighteen inches in height.
