At 20 years old, Blaze hoped the scientific cult her parents joined before she was born, was safe. And well, not actually a cult. She hoped that the powers she had were really as unique as Doc told her. That the tales of the God's were true, and these all powerful deities were watching over them. But nothing is ever as it seems. And in order to break free from Doc's firm grasp on her reality, lives must be sacrificed. What was once a paradise is now a hell, and the only way to escape is if she runs as fast as she can.

The Archetypes
Comic books were one thing, but reality wasn't quite so romantic. If you had powers, you hid them, and you prayed no one ever found out. I didn't know why until they got me. The Academy was what they called it. The whole place reeked of deceit and suffering. They hurt us. They used us. They left us broken. We have to get out, before it's too late.Complete

A catastrophic chemical explosion ripped through the city-its origin unknown, its aftermath devastating. As lightning split the skies and power lines exploded, Michelle was caught in a bolt of blinding, unnatural light. She died, they said. But Michelle didn't die. She transformed. After a week-long coma, she wakes to a world shattered-and a body no longer fully human.Complete

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
Shadow Town
A young adult fresh out of high school is feeling anxious and lost. In the heat of desperation she goes on a small camping trip to her favorite spot alone. She hopes to relieve herself of her stress and anxiety but when she gets there what ensues next is far from her intended relaxation. Is she spiraling into madness or is everything happening to her real? It's a strange life, indeed. ~~~~~ This piece is from my creative writing class. I was hoping I could share it with others who enjoy horror as much as I do. I am by no means an experienced writer, it's more of a hobby than an aspiration. I'm more focused on art than writing, but I do find it quite fun. I know there are lots of errors, most of I'm too lazy to fix. I hope all you nonexistent viewers enjoy!Complete
