One day a giant woke up in a beach.
The mounds of sand under his feet were dunes; the stones on his sides were mountains; the steam around his head were clouds; the tiny insects flying by his fists were seagulls.

There was no way he could've thought everything was smaller than him, until he knew he was bigger than everything.

What is happening!? My life couldn't have been a dream it was so real! I had kids and a husband! Tears burn my eyes. I had a home. It can't just be a dream. I reach up to wipe the tears from my face when I see it. My ring. My infinity-shaped ring with a sapphire diamond. I let out a gasp. It wasn't a dream. But I'm sitting back in class. What. The. Heck.
Why Love? by MinnieMayMonte
19 parts Complete Mature
Get her!" a familiar voice yelled and the next thing I knew, my books were slapped out of my hands and I was pushed to the ground. "Lucas," my mind was racing with confusion and my eyes swelled with tears. "You didn't think that I was a nice guy. I control these grounds sweetheart and I don't like new people invading my school. Get out of here and if you say anything about this to anyone, you will get more than just a warning," I scrambled to my feet and quickly grabbed my books. I finally found the will to stand and I took off. My feet hit the grass of my front yard and I collapsed. My sobs became more frequent and my head fall back looking up at the sky. I can't believe this is happening to me. Trigger Warnings ⚠️ - depictions of alcohol abuse, physical abuse, sexual and mature themes, language, and cancer. All rights reserved. Completed story.

No Escape by jempressss

"You can't leave me like this Abbigale! You'll never get rid of me. I'll be there every day, watching you. I know I'll always be on your mind" I jumped out of my sleep. Sweat pelting down on my skin. Hearing that voice in my head. Those words. Why now? I looked at my clocked, 3:24 AM. I got up and walked to the kitchen for a cold glass of water. Boink. I froze facing the fridge. I don't know what that sound was, but it seemed to be coming from the living room. I turned around, and there in the deep corners of my living room I saw a shadow...a shadow... that shaped like ... "Daniel?" I called out. I stepped forward, blinked and the shadow disappeared.

His eyes darted from her eyes to her lips for a split second, he swallowed a lump in his throat as he looked deep into her eyes "You're beautiful" he whispered "Garrel I'm-" "Shhh" he brushed her lips with his thumb "I won't let you speak so low of yourself" his deep voice came out hoarse Her eyes began to dampen Why was he looking at her like that, like she was the only woman to look at for him, like the only woman on earth Why was he doing that, why was he giving her hope of a fantasy that would never come true
Fragment: The Color Out of Space by BobInTheComments
1 part Complete
The first time I saw the color, I thought it was a sign that things were going to work out. How could I not see those vibrant purples and cobalt blues framed in a swirling aura of chimerical colors lighting up the rumbling midnight storm clouds as a bad thing? How was I to know then that this color composed of many, but still one, was an omen while the world around us burned? That it wasn't to be our rainbow from God signaling our salvation from the madness that consumed those outside our borders? That the hues I failed to recreate with my crayons and pencils on the floor of my brother's cabin would twist and corrupt everything bathed in its light?
