Okay so a while back i was able to visit the civil war battlefield and town of Gettysburg. Well at the field they have this tree fenced off as it is the last remaining tree that was on the main battle area where Pickets Charge took place. Cool right, well it made me think of what that tree could have saw if it had eyes or the stories it could tell me. Well we just finished civil war reading in English and we had to write a paper from an inanimate objects perspective and i thought of this tree. I made this short story to maybe tell the story this tree could tell me. This is not a big project but I liked it and i thought id share it with everyone.

If you have questions about, don't hesitate to ask. The roof crashed down at the speed of lightning, crushing me under the table as I gasped for air. My mind scrambling to process what had happened as I felt rubble falling around me, surrounding me in darkness. I reached up, my arm stinging as I hit the hard wood table over me, which was keeping the rubble off me, miraculously. I wiped my forehead, sweat, and probably blood dripping down my arm and side of head as I reached for a nearby rock, trying to push on it, hoping that it might help me out of this disaster. "Mom? Betty?" I called, hoping for a response, only to get none. I didn't even get the slightest whimper from any of them. What the heck happened? "Mom?! Betty?!" I screamed this time, trying to push myself up onto my back, my leg killing me so much that I had to give up. I laid back down on the ground, placing my hand on the bottom of the table; anger, fear, confusion getting the best of me. I screamed as I banged my fists on the wood table. "MOM? BETTY?" Nothing. I was ready to bang on the wood again, but I flinched back when I heard the sound of moving rubble. Whoever it is was almost near where I was, and ... moving quickly. So, there's no possible way that it was a human. It would take hundreds do men to lift these boulders, but whoever this person is, is stronger than anyone I would kn- My thoughts froze as I watched something large wrap around the edges of the table, lifting it up; my eyes widening as I came face to face with the largest creature known to mankind. A giant. (This is my book from my own brain. These are my own characters based off my family members. Please do not steal it.)Complete

Dead Agma (BTS Taehyung ff)
Boy: "But I will be alone." His shaking voice was heard, as the boy was more scared. Boy: "Again..." Woman: "No, we will always be there." She said touching the boy's chest where his heart is. Woman: "But now you have to go. Run." She said. With her last breath she saw the boy going further. Away from everything. She was ready to leave this world. The boy was save... The boy kept running into the woods under the hooded cape, which hid his face, making him feel a bit more secured. - He was running through the forest under his hooded cape, in the evening. It was quiet when he stopped running, and breathed in the fresh air. A small smile appeared on his face, when he saw the sun going down. The sunlight reaching out in-between the trees. - Consultant: "This tournament will give you the opportunity to prove yourself. The winner can choose between having the hand of the princess or wealth! The only thing you have to do is capture the Eodum-ui Agma." Citizen: "But they are all extinct." - ???: "Welcome." Jungkook and I looked at each other. We both then aimed at her with our weapons at the same time. She then let a small smirk appear on her face. - Taehyung: "I'm a monster, right?" Min-seo: "You're not a monster." - Jungkook: "I will kill him and if it's the last thing I do." I said and threw the chalice, breaking the mirror. After that he stared at the broken glass still sticking to the mirror and let a tear escape his eyes. - Taehyung: "I lost everything I had." - Min-seo: "What happened?" I asked, after I noticed he was wearing an armour. Jungkook: "Nothing, I have something to take care of." He left. The door was wide open and I stared into the night, where he disappeared. - The eyes of the little boy only saw his father being hit again and again, till he fell down.

Who Will You Save? //Draft 1//
„The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?", she asked, the sound of her voice strained, as if she hadn't been talking for a long time. The boy sat next to her, staring forward into the leaving sun. He didn't even look at the young woman when she spoke. Yet still he could feel himself, only a small part of himself, longing to hear more of her voice. It used to calm him down, singing soft lullabies whenever nightmares haunted him, or telling stories to him and his brother. It was the only comfort he could rely on. And he ended it before it could poison him. Silence filled the vast empty space. Only a single Rowan tree swayed in the non existent wind, its branches reaching down where the two figures sat, sheltering them from any harm that may come their way. It was time to leave this place again. He couldn't stay here for long. He hugged his knees tight, unconsciously swaying back and forth as he did so. Maybe, if he hugged himself hard enough, he could stay here and listen to one of her stories again? Just one short story. His efforts were in vain. He realized that when his hands and feet started to disappear, just like they have done thousands of times before. There was no way things could continue the way they were now. He knew he had to stop, but a selfish part of him was still holding onto that hope that everything would be okay once he opened his eyes. „Auntie,", he said, preparing his next words. „I... really prefer sunrises." 0101011101101111011100100110110001100100011100000110110001100101011000010111001101100101011100110110000101110110011001010110110101100101Complete
The Outsiders Imagines
Last week my class had finished the book, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hilton. I loved it. My friends loved it. Everybody in the entire class loved it. We also watched the movie and we all had to look away when Pony just had his hair cut and bleached. Anyway, I found these stories called Imagines and I found them really cool and I wanted to do one myself and I might make more considering how my friend said I "broke" her when she read it. I might make more, I don't know, but it was fun to write this. I also saw how small some of the other imagines are, so I made this one long but not too long but still long. It'll probably take 8 minutes out of your day, tops.Complete
My Whispered Plead
All I ever wanted to be was happy, sing, dance and laugh. I never knew a dream like that could be taken away from me in just one moment. That's all it took for it to disappear. It was just like any other night. One where we were having a BBQ, laughing and having a good time. I thought nothing could go wrong, not one thing but boy was I wrong. That's when they came. They came up through the trees and all hell broke lose. I lost everything that night, in just one moment.---------Go to first page for the full plot :DComplete
