Three teenagers were running through the snowy forest, away from whatever was behind them, and whatever it was, it was not good. Eventually they ended up in a small clearing, and had seemed to have lost it. "What was that thing!" Ace was breathing heavily as he looked up at Conner, who was the one who spoke. "Whatever it was, it sure as hell wanted us dead," replied Akira. Right as she said that, a snap of a twig was heard from their left. Ace was the first to look over, and was chilled to the bone as he stared at this creature. It was about 8 feet tall, with a grey fur covering its whole body, canine-like legs and snout, yet human-like hands, where each finger ended with a sharp black claw. It started sniffing the air before staring down the 3 teenagers, getting ready to pounce, but right before it could, the 3 of them jolted back towards the forest, running as fast as they possibly could. "We need to get out of here now," Ace yelled as he started running in the direction of the border to the forest. They could hear the creature behind them, destroying anything in its path to reach them. "It's right there, just run!" Ace didn't have the time to look at who talked, he just kept running, and eventually burst out into the street, but he didn't stop until the sidewalk, only then did he turn around. Conner and Akira were still on the road, just staring into the forest. When he looked he saw it too. The creature was standing behind a girl dressed in a blood stained dress, holding a knife and smiling. "Darkness awaits," said the girl standing there, before the streetlamps went out, and they were engulfed in darkness. This story started as a school project called Darkness Awaits, which is what is written above. I fell in love with this story and decided to make it my own. Thank you to anyone who reads this and I hope you enjoy.

isolation

this story is about a scientist in Antarctica slowly losing his sanity I can feel the corners of my lips tug upwards and before I know it, I'm cackling. My laughter rings through the empty room, bouncing off the walls as I double over in hysterics. Despite the dire situation, I can't seem to stop. With each passing second, my giggles become more uncontrollable, more manic. As I catch my breath, I try to reassure myself. "Everything will be fine," I tell myself, punctuating my sentence with another bout of laughter. "Because, because!" I repeat, and my voice breaks into another round of giggles. But soon, my mirth turns to misery as my laughter becomes sobs. I collapse on my hands and knees, tears streaming down my face until they blur my vision. The tears burn my skin, adding to my anguish. I can't even cry in peace, can't even surrender to my despair without feeling physical pain. "Oh god, I ruin everything Johnny- I'm sorry!" I cry out, my voice cracking. "I'm supposed to keep care of you and I'm sorry! I'm so sorry Johnny!" I scream, pounding my fists on the cold, hard floor in frustration. It's no use. Nothing can save me. I feel my tears freezing on my face and I quickly dry them with the back of my hand. I crawl over to the fire, seeking warmth and comfort. But there's no comfort to be found.
