When the towns milkman goes missing, everyone goes a bit mad.

They say madness is loud. Screaming. Thrashing. Breaking things that were never meant to be broken. But that's a lie. Madness is quiet. It's the girl sitting at the edge of a third-floor balcony, swinging her legs like she's waiting for a bell to ring. It's the boy flicking a lighter open and close, open and close, like he's trying to keep his hands busy so they don't do something worse. It's the space between a heartbeat and the next one-when you almost wish it wouldn't come. Madison Dela Cruz didn't jump because she wanted to die. That's what everyone got wrong. She jumped because, for a second, she wanted to feel the wind claw at her skin. She wanted gravity to choose her. She wanted something-anything-to be loud enough to drown the silence inside her chest. And when she hit the ground, the world finally screamed back. Bones cracked. People shouted. Someone cried. For a moment, she felt everything. Then nothing again. - Across town, Maddox Lopez watched a flame curl around the edge of paper, slow and hungry. Fire was honest like that. It didn't pretend. It consumed. It destroyed. It made things real. He liked that. What he didn't like was how people looked at him when they found out. Like he was the flame instead of the one holding the match. Like he was the danger. Maybe he was. - They would meet in a place where doors locked from the outside. Where silence had weight. Where smiles were monitored, and pain had paperwork. A place where broken people were sent not to be fixed- but to be contained. And somehow, in a world that made less and less sense the more you tried to understand it... They would find each other. Not as saviors. Not as lovers. Not at first. But as something far more dangerous: People who finally felt seen. And in a mad world like this- that might be the most destructive thing of all.

A short confession of dedication and longing.

Recently, procrastination had seemed to become Ena Shinonome's best friend. How had she gotten to this point, where the very passion she held had slipped away from her so easily Each time she twisted the pencil through the sharpener, the parings fell out around her. They always have, why should it be any different now? Though, what she had failed to remember, is that sharpening a pencil only shortens it further. This is really short, and I mean REALLY short. But it's sort of intended to be that way? Regardless, I hope you enjoy this :) 7th August 2025

*Short story I wrote in 2004. It's a little corny. I had a thing for twins. Don't know what's up with the title.* There's some romance, and multiple twins, and brother's best friends. Also ice skating.

A poem that goes over how it indeed wasn't just a twisted serial killer who killed those boys. It was the system, which has been rigged for so very long and as we speak still is. People go on to have unfair biased opinions but this poem questions when do we draw the line and say enough is enough. Cops failed to properly do their jobs so they failed the victims and their families, how many more times will they fail, how many more people won't get a second chance. Dhamer, his parents, the system they all played a part in killing the victims and thats what I'm trying to get across. I'm fourteen so my bad if it isn't great.

I stole this idea off someone they know who they are ..... this is more of a rant than just a message to someone about the unspoken things I have

(Time-travel!) In past times in ancient China there lived a Crown Prince who was well-known and loved by his people; now he is known by few, and one of the few is a dashing Ghost King named Hua Chang. In their daily life together, they are very happy, but Xie Lian is still troubled by the past he left behind in old Xianle. But, what would happen if he somehow arrived in the future? Featuring: Hua Chang, Xie Lian, our two favorite Junior Martial Gods of course, and an original character- inspired by my sister's alter-ego, Kara- I hope you enjoy the light-hearted fun of 'New Stones, No Flower City!' (Does anyone have a better title idea? Please share.) Enjoy! :-)
