He stood at the edge of the tall, broken bridge. His body a half-way tilt away from disappearing into the great chasm that lay beneath. Air shattering gasps rocking his body, he prayed.
"I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die."
"Idontwannadie."
The words muddled, growing blurry in his restless mind.
"God, I don't want to die."
With one final sober intake of air, he took the final step.

Eyes Of Gold ☾ t.law x reader
"I got told to avoid them. To stay in the woods. It was the safest there. I didn't listen; I was young and stupid." His irises dilated again, this time to slits. "When you saw me, you didn't run or scream. You almost touched me, but then that motherfucker shot me, and I bit you." He grabbed your scarred hand, holding it close to your face. "I did that. Me."

A Deal To Live
"If you step any closer I will- i will jump off this cliff." I threatened. "You wouldn't do that." He said challengingly. He took another cautious step foreward. "Tell me what happened now. Talk to me like an actual person or I will jump." I said. "No." He said stubbornly. "And you're not going to jump." I narrowed my eyes, and then I shut them, breathed, let go of the rock and let myself fall backwards.Complete

Dragon's Glass: The Saga of John Ordano
Cold...so cold...all that the boy could feel was the frigid freezing air blowing through his bones, as he stumbled across a great wall-a magical Barrier of transparent red. Within such a place, housed mysteries yet unearthed. Stories yet to unfold. Monsters yet slaughtered. A place of horrific tales to be created, and lives in need of protection. The boy, as weak and fragile as he was, continued onwards into such a place. (Chapters will be uploaded as they are finished, though upload dates will always be on a Friday night, at 8:00 PM PST.)

in love with Mr wrong
Our eyes met, and my pulse soared. The world narrowed to a single, thrilling possibility. Each whispered word, every tender touch, pulled me under his spell. I was lost, and I knew it. The hug that changed everything became our sanctuary, our haven. Yet, shadows of doubt crept in, taunting me. Had I transformed the untouchable heartthrob or merely become a stepping stone? The question haunted me, a constant hum in the background of our intoxicating romance. Was our love a work of art or a fleeting masterpiece, destined to fade?"Complete

Of Gods Magic And Men
Once again I was wrong He walked back and forth in the shadows,the darkness obscuring him to the point of a silhouette. But as he went I noticed his form change and blur, sometimes resembling that of a child before shifting into something much bigger and hairier then morphing back again. "Oh Fin haven't you realized it yet" the voice asked mockingly, "us deities and gods alike have been watching you closely, seeing how you stack up against what this world has to offer" I heard a laugh "and frankly I have to say, I'm not impressed". He let a sliver of his face be shown in the firelight I had been so wrong "Tell me who you are" I ask, although the answer couldn't have been clearer. Once again he laughed, a strange and horrifying mix between that of a child and a beasts. "I really don't see how it matters" he finally says, "you'll die all the same" The campfire went out leaving me in darknessComplete
