christmas grief war wwii

This sky is blue and wide and forever and metal birds weave across it, soundless as they never are in reality, and below them a whole world stretches out. Houses and bridges and buses and people – an entire city of everywheres and nowheres and comings and goings and standstills.All Rights Reserved

Moth by DArenson

They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.

CHESS [BOOK 1] by dimma66

imagine a world where there was no resolution, no protest , no fights for freedom, a world where the black and the whites lived separately in peace . At least they taught so............

Eliza Clark: Earth Bound Angel by redrobinsredrum

I've been banned from heaven and sent to a place worse than hell: High School. Ocean Beach was a small town on the coast of California and was never mentioned for anything. Until they were on TV for a mysterious pattern of dead animal parts, heavy hail in the middle of November, and other things. And it's my job to make sure that humans stay safe. But the thing is, will I even be able to help them?

Restarting by CocktailsChopstix

There is a war raging within me, a constant battle between what I know and what I feel. My priorities became a blur after you happened, and absence never felt so real.

Molly - Part 2 by Zerosum772

The city towered above existence. Shadows covered the streets and there: the soft call of birdsong. And yes the sky was fading for surely this was the end of the world. But: not quite dead yet, a sort of hope in the color. Blue, though faded. The world has ended. The Answer: Crackdown.

Blue by cream614

Blue is dead. At least, that's what everyone keeps telling Adam. The problem is, Blue knows better than to walk around in their coastal beach town on nights of the full moon... everyone does. So when Adam ends up on that same beach, fueled by grief, and starts to hear the haunting sound of a siren song, he realizes that nothing he's been told his entire life has been true. In a world where sirens rule the seas and dead men walk again to kill them, Adam will quickly discover the true meaning of loss.

To Reach for the Moon by CMWMeister

Where the heavenly bodies that are the Sun and Moon don't move. Where there is no conception of time, where the term day, months and years don't exist. A story of hope where hope seems lost. Where the world is split into six different regions, governed by the sun to the west, and governed by the moon to the east. Where children are born to be placed into divisions. Born to be either a producer, Born to be either a breeder, Born to be either a defender, Where humanity is plagued by waves of shadow-like demons born by the moon, working tirelessly to collect the delicate orchids that exist inside. Perri wakes in her Granja, awoken by her sister to become a defender. Her life goes a route never fathomed. Tragedy of her birth, Tragedy of deaths. She carries her sword so that tomorrow might be a better day.

I Prefer the Bad Boys by Narwhal_is_Awesome

Everyone I've ever loved or cared about left. For the longest time, I had nobody. No one was there when I cried; No one was there when I was sick; No one was there when I needed help; Most importantly, no one was there when the incident happened.

24 Hour by Lucid_ly

In times of darkness when everyone is in the light, but you remain in the shadows. For every soul lost to the harsh prejudice and criticism of this life, you will heal, you will conquer, you were put on this earth for a reason, things aren't what they seem.

The Sea, The Sky, And The Devils Underneath by IsabelleJenkins1

Rowan is a normal girl.. Goes to school, talks about boys, has a best friend and listens to screamo. But on her 18th birthday something unthinkable happens. A tsunami hits. But that isn't the unthinkable part. A mystery man saves her from the waves and the next day her gills and tail are a pretty big give away. She has to live life as normally as possible whilst being a mermaid and try to find the man who saved her without being discovered.
