darkness death fantasy ghosts gothic love poetry tragedy warlock

This is the anthology I wrote for my Extended Project Qualification in my second year of A Levels. It's a research project on a topic of your choice, with the option of creating an artifact based off this research. In other words, it is the equivalent to the college version of a dissertation, in preparation for university. 

I was awarded with an A. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

A Deadly Love- Book Two by chloblla

There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in Bloodlust

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

The Sacrificed Volume 01 by kalamkaar_kulkarni

Inspired by true events, but let me make this clear-this is NOT a documentary. The Sacrificed: Volume 01 is a highly fictionalized version of the Santosh Deshmukh Hatyakaand, a case that still remains under investigation. While I took inspiration from real-life events, this story is built on my interpretations, hypotheses, imaginations, and storytelling instincts. This is my version-not a retelling of actual events. This volume follows the rise and fall of Sarpanch Vikram Shetty, set in Kadampur village, district Vardhanpur. His story begins and ends right here, in Volume 01. There are no sequels, no continuations-just this one standalone tale. Every volume in The Sacrificed explores completely different stories, inspired by true events but with no interconnections between them. You can read each one as a separate standalone novel. I do not claim to tell what really happened. I do not claim this as fact. My job is simply to narrate a story-through my own lens, based on my own perceptions and creative exploration. And most importantly, I want to say this upfront: I do not intend to insult or demean anyone. If anything comes across that way, I sincerely apologize, but that was never my intention. At the end of the day, I'm just a storyteller. And this? This is my story to tell. Read at your own discretion.

Experiment 5475 by hotpink456

***** For the last 15 years of her life experiment 5475 has only known the inside of the cold lab they only ever feed her enough to keep her alive and punish her horribly if she fought back. When they weren't experimenting on her with different chemicals and drugs she was kept her in a cold dark room with only a bed and a toilet. The scientists have been experimenting on her for 15 years they took her from a orphanage when she was 5 years old she was currently 20. She didn't know her name before coming to the lab but everyday since she came before the scientist would start the tests they would say "Experiment 1..Experiment 2" so on and so on she decided that the number would be her name since she would probably never know her own. She would try to maintain a strong expression while they were delivering their tests even though most came with side effects and Intense pain. Sometimes her vision would blur others her nose would pour with blood. She had no idea what the scientists were doing all the tests for but now she has different abilities that she did not want them to find out about. She was afraid if they found out the stuff they put in her was working they would throw her out like trash and find another innocent person to suffer or just kill her. She didn't know what life was like outside the lab and she was scared to leave its all she's ever known. But after a horrible event happens she feels like she can no longer stay. **** Nathan Thompson was a ordinary guy trying to move up the ladder at the accounting firm he was working at the past 6 years while also trying to maintain an active social life with his friends. He felt like something was missing in his life he was the type of guy that loved living in his own bubble but he hoped he would get the promotion he was after then he would feel more fulfilled. If he wanted a adventure he definitely got one the minute his black Honda slammed into the brown skinned woman with pink eyes.

War of Praisers by BelovedDarkStranger

Nothing left my mouth as I stared at him in shock. He truly believed that I was part of this. The man, who I had lived with and served for months. The man who I had protected with my life and soul. I stood still while, as he backed away from me quickly. "I trusted you with my life." His cry pierced around the empty room. He looked so destroyed and hurt, but mostly his face portrayed rage and determation. "And I protected you with mine." I spoke back loudly. I didn't hear myself say it but I knew I did. I look into his eyes even from our distance they seemed to wallow me in darkness. "I gave you mine." My voice was quiet and cracked. His face changed only for a second before his old one took over again. He doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter what I say or do he won't listen. He will still believe I am the bad guy. Just as Kane said, we will never be equals, we will never be fellow humans. We will always be monsters to them. "Yakov, I am not the bad guy." I plead one last time. His Russian accent comes out harsh with his next words. "Your right," he pauses, "you are the villain." I stumble back as if I had just been stabbed in the chest. It was a horrible feeling. It was never good with the emotions and yet I recognize the feeling as heart beak. I barely breathe in air as I regain my posture. A battle cry from somewhere distracts me momentarily. I suddenly remember Ewan. I glare at Yakov one more time before I take off after the cries of battle. Jade believes she started the war among the human and her kind. Nothing is as it was portrayed. The lies and the truth are hidden among each other. There is is no clear good and evil. How can there be if one does not know what is right and what is wrong. She was prepared to see death, prepared to inflict death upon others without mercy or remose. She was prepared to do her job which the Facility had given her. But now it doesn't seem so simple anymore. Instead she focuses on keeping her friends alive.

Barely Human: A Short Story Collection by cabemidnights

Here lies a series of short stories written out of pure boredom or when ideas I conjure up don't fit nor expand into any bigger story. As I'll be too burdened with college and personal life, I won't be continuing Hollow Ocean for the time being as I would need to revise it. However, I took the time to make some short stories that I oftentimes use as submissions for my finals. Should the need arise, I'm not opposed to writing a second collection.

Open To Interpretation by krishuppet

This is a collection of some of my old poems, short stories, and other writing that I created a few years ago, while I was going through a really rough patch in my life. I wanted to publish it back then, but this is the best that I can do for now. Enjoy, I guess!

LUCIAN by Cuddlewithmeincouch

"Maybe she's born with it." _____________________________ "Who are you Smurfs talking about ?"
