The story is mine, but I give credit of the pictures to internet sources and searches. Thank you
The night had been busy in my little corner bar, The Last Stop. It was all I had left from my family who had passed away. It wasn't much, but it was mine, and I loved and hated its history. As I ushered out the last patron after 2 a.m., I couldn't wait to get home and rest my feet. When I had begun the usual nightly clean-up, I heard the front bell go off. "I forgot to lock the front door."
"Sorry we're closed," I yelled out from the back; no response. I grabbed the keys out of my pocket and headed for the front.
Standing in the dim light of the doorway was a tall, muscular figure. I jumped back, "Sorry, but we're clos....". the figure spoke, "Hey El."
He walked into the light, "Joe," he had aged well.
"I had to see you, El."
He stepped closer, and I lost my balance.
His arms wrapped around me, helping me gain control.
Seeing him again was all I ever wanted, but now it was a dangerous game of lies and secrets.

I shook my head in denial. " No." Coming forward he looked at me in my eyes and said sternly " Don't lie to me you must have heard something." Inhaling deep breath in frustration I said " I didn't hear anything." Getting angry he held my hair in his fist and said angrily " I am telling you last time don't lie to me. Tell me everything that you saw or heard." Hissing I replied " I am telling the truth. I really didn't heard or saw the man who came." He came dangerously close to me and said " I am telling you one thing very clearly till you won't tell me everything I won't allow you to go from here. Because once a person lie to me I either kill them or leave them to rot here." Smiling psychotically he said " Welcome to Shaveer's hell Ms. Kiara."Lengkap
Run...Run..Then Captured
*Click, Clack...* "huh-huh..huh" (Blacks out ) *Click, Clack...* "huh-huh..huh" (Blacks out ) *Trips* "Crap..ugh-huh" I said as I got up, and limped to the nearest torn down building. I then sat down in a dark corner, near the front entrance. I then heard heavy footsteps approaching near me. "Crap! We lost her sir..." One guy said. "Ugh..lets head back to the chief...I am sure he has something else planned..you two! Stay here..just in case you bump into her" The other guy said. *5 seconds later* "Gosh, stop bleeding" I whispered as my ankle was bleeding so bad, my jeans looked like I walked in a puddle of blood. I tried putting my hands on it and applying pressure, but that obviously didn't work. I then saw a cloth to my right (how convenient), I grabbed it and applied pressure to my wounds. I looked around, and I noticed a few soldiers coming towards the building that I am in. I slowly got up, and started limping towards a staircase towards my right. "Hey...do you hear that?" One guy said. "Hear what?" The other said. "Someones in that building! Go!" The first guy said. CRAP...I have to run...come on legs. That's when I got some random boost in me, and I started running up the staircase. It was like 20 stairs before I made it to the top. CRAP...the cloth! Now, they will definitely know i'm here. "A bloody towel! Someone's in here! ..The stairs have blood on them..go go!" One yelled. I quickly had to think of a way out of this building. That's when I noticed a window to my left. I ran to the window, as I heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. I then noticed that the window was already open without screening in it, I climbed out the window ledge, and jumped onto the lower part of the roof. I had my body up against the building, and started moving to my right around the corner of the building, hoping to not be seen. "Clear! Sir, nobody is here..." One guy. "Ugh, she escaped..."The other said. I jumped of the roof, and started running.Lengkap

"Let me get this straight," Danish's voice is sharp, his disbelief barely masked. "You want me to pretend to be in love with you?" Kiara tilts her head, the ghost of a smirk playing on her lips. "No, Malhotra. I want you to pretend you never stopped." For as long as Kiara Oberoi could remember, life had been a race she was never allowed to lose. And standing in her way at every turn? Danish Malhotra. Her biggest rival. Her greatest weakness. The boy who knew exactly how to ruin her. They spent their years locked in battle-academic rankings, debate championships, internships, and scholarships-neither willing to give the other an inch. They fought in front of the whole world. They fought when no one was watching. And somewhere in between all those fights, between the sharp words and long stares- they fell. It started with a project that forced them together. Forced them to see past the rivalry, past the competition, past the carefully built walls. Forced them to face the fact that they understood each other in ways no one else ever had. They fought for years-until one night, she gave him everything. And the next day? She destroyed him. "I could never love someone who doesn't even know his own origins." And then, she left. No warnings. No explanations. Just silence. Now, she's back. Same fire. Same hunger. Same boy she left behind-only now, he's colder, crueler, untouchable. And this time, they aren't just academic rivals. They're business enemies. And she needs him to fake date her. She isn't leaving without him this time. She says it's to win a war. He knows it's to win him back. But some fires never die- And this time, they might burn for real.Lengkap

Contractual Obligation. (Editing)
Due to my infuriated state, I drove like a mad man and almost got into trouble with the authorities. Fortunately I solely got a slap on the wrist, perhaps the cop that had me pull over was having a great day. Instead of going home, I drove past my house, and headed straight to the bar. The intention was to drink my problems and the rage brewing inside of me away, but I actually fought and annihilated the demons that tempted me to drink alcohol again. I got home late, and peculiarly I wasn't famished but my wife had cooked so I felt compelled to eat. "Is your hands not working or something?" She asked, after I ate and left the plate on the sink. "You want me to work them on you?" I asked, headlessly. "No stupid. I want you to wash your plate after eating." She gritted her teeth, folding her cute hands into fists and if I wasn't so mad at her I would've found it stimulating. "I have a wife for a reason. She's able and willing." "Bullshit!" She sneered. "I'm assuming the plate is still dirty then?" "No." She lowered her voice. "So what is your fucking problem?" I asked, firmly. "My problem is you having shit to say to me yet choosing not to say it." she crossed her amrs, her gorgeous face painted with anticipation. That's when it dawned on me that my wife was gorgeous to me, no matter what state I was in. Literally and figuratively. "Fine." I took slow steps towards her. "I don't know if you've noticed but I don't have anybody. My dad is a dick with herpes, my best friend is a dick intoxicated idiot, and I cut my brother off. I guess I may have been a dick too to a certain extent. My point is that you're my only ally and I can't afford to have you as a weak link." I concluded sternly, and tears started streaming down her face, making me want to take a steel knife and shove it in my chest.Lengkap
A Stalker's Passion
"CHARLIE!" His screams were getting closer until I saw him completely. I grabbed the knife and pointed it straight at him. "Get away from me!" I say warning him His face was red and he still stalked towards me slowly. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yell fearing the fact that didn't look scared at all. "Put the knife down." I started to back up a bit still pointing the knife at him. "I'm not telling you again, put it down NOW!" His calm persona was instantly replaced with a furious one. "Please Tho-" He came charging straight at me but I made a run for it. I ran as fast as I could with him behind me until he tackled me to the floor. The knife flew across the hallway and he was on top of me. "Thomas please let me go. I don't want to be here. Please." I say begging "You're ruining everything. It was so perfect and special just for you and you're ruining it." I can tell he was sad but more pissed off this anything. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!" He screamed in my face. "I-" "SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!" He roars slapping me across the face. He roughly picks me up and drags me to the room. He yanked me away from him making me fall hit my knee on the hard wood floor. He walked in the bathroom to get something and I realized it something to put me to sleep. He poured the chemical into the towel as he mumbled to himself and I watched in fear. He pulled me from the ground and tried to make me breathe in. I fought the urge to. I thrashed back and forth trying to get free but nothing worked. Slowly, my vision got blurry and felt darkness overtake me.Lengkap
The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Lengkap
Blade ✔️
Blade's eyes turned cold. Like a dark colored ocean that just froze. He took a frightening step forward so now his face was only inches from my face, even with his height, making my breath hitch in my throat. I could no longer breath. No longer see people repeatedly walking past my house. No longer hear those birds in the tree that were begging me to run. I could only see his dark blue eyes that held so much danger and anger. I could only hear his rapid breathing and even his fast heartbeat. I was just that dazed into his stare.... more like glare. "Is there someone else?" he said so low no one could hear but me. And I heard him. So clearly. I heard the threat telling me to say yes for he can make whoever the competition is disappear. I heard the anger he held behind his low tone. I heard the jealousy beyond anything. That was what clouded over everything. "N-no," I stuttered. I'm angry to admit I was scared. How he towered over me didn't make it any better. Standing proudly at maybe a 6'4 or 6'5. While I stood at a 5'5. He scanned my face trying to look for any sign of me lying. And when he backed up I knew he couldn't find one because what I said was indeed true. To be honest there was only him. And it seems like that is what it will always be. The all famous gang leader and tough girl, cross paths. He hates disrespect and that's what she's all about. How do you think this will all play out in the end?Lengkap
