I have absolutely no idea what drove me to create this. Well actually I just lied I do know but it makes no sense. I smelled cilantro in the air today and it reminded me how much I hate it because it reminds me of something very specific - it smells like a certain situation - what you're about to read being the situation. I've thought this since my childhood.

Blind Emotions
"Yes I assumed. So love this is hard to tell you but-" I don't hear the rest of his words because I get hit with an overwhelming smell that takes my breath away. It almost reminds me of lemon, but as how lemon is a simplistic smell this was anything but. It was like it was the most yellow, juiciest ripest lemon ever created. And now I've come to the realization that I am fantasizing more about a lemon then to what the scent belongs to. I hear heavy determined footsteps make their way to me and smell the scent that overpowers all others take a long deep breath. He then spoke a word. A word that I was not expecting to hear. One 4 letter word that would leave me in a complete and utter state of confusion. "Fuck." *Disclaimer; I do not own any media I use.*Complete
My Demon Mate (BoyxBoy)
I knew I was a freak, I'm weird not stupid - even if I did act like it half the time. It wasn’t normal to be like me, to be afraid of things everyone loves, needs to survive even. I had always been afraid of it for some reason, among other things of course; I would rather die than have to face my fear. Everyone knew it but no one cared though did they? I was just another stupid kid in this stupid foster home. Another stupid kid that had been ‘dumped’ and no one wanted. At least, that's what I thought.Complete
Breathing Water
My name is Oyster Estuary. I am 17 years old. I have suffered from the inability to breath oxygen properly for as long as I can remember. My classmates think its weird that I have to get help breathing from a little inhaler practically every hour (they even bully me about it). It has always been that bad, so my mom never let me do anything that would make it harder to breath, like swimming. The only time I get wet is when I'm in the shower. That is until the bullies "accidentally" push me off a cliff into the ocean. #2 - asthma (06.12.2019) #3 - asthma (07.27.2020)Complete

Unintentional Passion
Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.
Moving In
Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."Complete

The Method To My Madness
Let's be honest here we all have gone to a random location at a random point in the space time continuum and saw a person that caused us to question ourselves with the age old ponderings of "what in the hell was this person thinking when they woke up this morning". Now, I don't know about you but I have yet to develop "the Jedi Force" so this is my way of explaining my thoughts in a series of letters. Why? Because my mind is a scary place jumbled with a side of crazy so enjoy the journey because there is absolutely no telling where we will end up and no this won't be like "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" I'm not that good.Complete
Words.
To be completely honest, it's just a load of randomly plucked words from the air, infused together with some punctuation and their job is to represent the bunch of emotion I, - a tired, caffeine filled, late night worker- threw together in hopes that I would touch a passionate soul trapped inside a body with a thought-provoking mind and rapidly beating heart. To all the readers, dedicated or not, there is a 'sequel', The Second Wave. Click my profile and have a peek, I think you're going to like it.Complete
