Ansley- Most of my life I've felt trapped and helpless to stop what was happening to me. The only people I have are my brother Cole, his boyfriend Tyler and Goss. They are my safe place to land when I need them and I am so lucky to have them. But one day I met a guy that made my small world just a little bit bigger and I can't wait to see where this takes me, but I'm scared to trust anyone new. When he holds me everything feels right, like nothing bad could ever happen he's my best friend and his family means a lot to me and my family means a lot to him. We are all connected by the trauma we have suffered and I just hope that having each other will make it easier to breathe. I see hope in the darkness that has threatened to suffocate me and I think maybe he might feel the same way. Luke- When I met her everything changed. I've been trying to adjust to my new family and let my past fade away but that's not entirely possible. I can't forget no matter how much I wish I could. I'm really happy here and I've never been able to say that before and my world has become bigger because of her. I've met people that I think will make it all easier because of her. She has quickly become my best friend. I feel safe with her and I think she might feel the same way.

quiet isn't always violent. #1 in poetry 11/2

A Nephilim cursed into silence. Trapped in his own armor. Chased into hiding centuries ago. Former Arch Knight Sariffall descends onto a newly formed human settlement near his safe haven in the mountains. Little did he know, he would meet a young fallen princess that would inadvertently force his hand into releasing his power, revealing himself to a modern era and fantasy fused world. Forced to flee from his hand-made home. Hunted by demons. The pair search the globe for Sariffall's long lost team of Arch Soldiers to aid him in destroying hell and bringing their forgotten kingdom back to its former glory. From a city built upon crime to the land of dragon's. Across oceans and mountains.

"Will you ever hear me in the rain?" "...?" ***** #157 in Poetry February 12, 2016 #86 in Poetry February 14, 2016

They say "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Well, what do you do when life gives you a pink slip for no reason? Laura Saunders was unjustly let go from her job as an accountant at a big-name firm. Now, she's out to get revenge. Because sometimes in life, you need to balance the sweetness with a little sour.

I love running. I can't remember a time where my feet digging into the ground and the wind blowing against my face didn't bring me a sense of comfort. It was the only thing that I was good at. Maybe one day I'd beat the record of the fastest runner and become something of myself. It was just a dream, but I was one to chase my dreams. I've been doing It for a long time now. I was something special in my 12th grade year. The fastest female runner on campus, but at Lincoln university I was just another runner. Most of the track runners there could beat me in under 20 seconds if they tried hard enough. I had to work even harder. I wasn't cool anymore I wasn't special. In fact if being a freshman wasn't already bad enough, I'm pretty sure I was the odd girl out at Lincoln university. I had no friends and nobody from my high school got transfers here so I was pretty much all alone. That is if you count having a college bully as the only person to talk to. Her name was Bailey Anders and I wasn't sure what I did to make her hate me so much but she did. And she made sure I knew. Actually She made sure everyone knew. But after a while I simply stopped paying attention to her threats and hurtful comments and started to pay attention to other things. Like the smell of her raven black hair and the way she smiled which was a rare sight to see. Considering the only time she smiled was when she was ruining my freshman year. It took a while but I did notice it.. Not when it first started though, Maybe a few weeks in. It got to a point to where I wasn't sure if I was letting Bailey win or if the cold hearted girl had always been my runner up. But I was no longer racing to win. I was no longer chasing my dreams. I was chasing Bailey.

A collection of enigmatic quotes.

Inanis Messor is The Bone Cutter. He's America's most fierce and cursed celebrity. He's America's modern prophet. He's America's very own murderous darling. Inanis's job is to broadcast a live death on public television once a month, as a sacrifice to the public. Every month on the 15th, Inanis steps on a large, vibrant stage, in front of dozens of cameras, and executes a living political individual as repentance for the sins of America's government. It keeps the public satisfied. It keeps the government from having to own up to their mistakes. Mirea Dhalmi is the daughter of a famous state governor; a man who involves himself in every political discussion the media has to offer. But when he's chosen to be Inanis's next victim, Mirea desperately pleads with The Bone Cutter to spare his life. Inanis agrees, but at a price. Mirea must now become his bride, his public display. She becomes The Bone Harvester, the woman who stands beside The Bone Cutter on the bloody stage that is broadcasted throughout public television. The unfortunate woman who stands beside the celebrity who kills in front of the nation.
