There was once a pair of sisters who were very far from home. They took a journey to see the world they lived in but had never seen.
…Short Stories
I have loved writing since I was a child. So, here's the place I try to write some short stories. I hope you all enjoy them and if you really like them, please send the link to your friends. It helps more than you know and I truly appreciate it.
In the Wake
She held my hand, swinging it softly. I helped her swing our arms as we walked down our street that was still in disarray.
…I’m Sorry, Sister

The moment I was grabbed, I knew I was going to die. I was walking to my car after I finished my shift at the mall. It had only been closed for a few minutes and I was excited to be getting home early to surprise my parents for their anniversary. It was dark, mostly due to daylight savings and I parked towards the back of the mall. The lot was mostly empty, with a few cars making their way to the exit, their tail lights nothing more than a speck in the distance.
…Medusa
Just another man, deciding that he deserved a piece of me without asking. Another one who would break into my home, trying to get a glimpse at what I’ve become. Using my name as a synonym for monster.
…Mortality
I never really think about my mortality. Sometimes, it’ll cross my mind, but not as much as I thought it would. I try to fall into the hustle and bustle of daily life. I try to keep myself occupied so I can’t think about my impending demise.
…Bound by Death
Unexpectedly, his face turned to stare at something behind me, and I was left to stare at the face of my killer. It caused the hair on my neck to rise and my heartbeat to thump loudly in my ears. Really, it shouldn’t surprise me or cause so much fear anymore, after all, I had been looking at him for around two weeks now. But, every time I see his face, I immediately felt like I should run, as far as I possibly could to escape. Once, I even tried, and I was left so weak that I could hardly move for over an hour.
…The Woods
I kind of feel like I grew up in the woods as much as I grew up in my home. As a child, I would run into the woods to play. I once made a fortress out of a mostly fallen tree that, even while it was completely on the ground, it still clung to life with half of the tree still connected to the stump. Since this tree was on the ground, the branches that still grew created a small enclosure where I would pretend to be a fairy who ruled over the other fairies in the forest realm.
…The Beach
My mother always told me to stay away from the beach. She said that the waves would sweep me up and I would be lost to the sea. I always assumed that she said that because she was worried I would drown, but her fear persisted even as I grew older.
…Don’t Make Deals for Dates
Disclaimer: If you’ve lost your significant other recently, perhaps read a different story. I just want to put this out there just because that is the main focus of this story. You can read another story by clicking here.
I sold my soul. I did it for the same reason most people do, I did it for love.
…Animer and Her Children
Animer sighed as she strolled through her lands, pulling the tangles of her hair up into a loose bun on the top of her head. She felt almost as if she had to fight with it since she hadn’t brushed through her hair in weeks. It’s not like it mattered, she hasn’t seen people in at least half a century. Truly, she preferred her life of solitude, for the constant barrage of human attention had begun to annoy her, the mortals always thought that their problems were bigger than everyone else’s.
