Passing Through
There once was a traveler who followed long, winding paths. They were hard roads that presented several obstacles. Still, the traveler was courageous. She faced many dangers and found many treasures, which she tucked carefully into a pouch hanging from her belt.
One day, she found herself on a steep, narrow path surrounded by pits of brambles. She kept her distance and pulled herself along the rough terrain. While she did, however, a precious gem tumbled from her pouch. The traveler cried out and chased after- for the gem was one of her most beloved possessions. When she reached for it, she thrust her hands into the thick of the brambles.

Workshop - WritersInk: Setting the Scene
PASSIVE
A man is sitting in a chair, holding his head in the palm of his right hand while clasping a violin in his left. He sighs, knowing that what he needs is inspiration, an image to hold in his head to convey the emotions in this piece.
He needs a peaceful image, but where is he supposed to find that? His eyes sweep around his room of the hundredth time that day: he is resting his elbow on a table in beside his chair, behind him is his bed, in front of him is a space he had cleared so he could stand and move while practicing, everywhere else where things he had scattered while making said space and things he'd have to clean up later.

Honourably? No. by SebThePeters, literature

Honourably? No.
It sat there between us. Never far from our sight sat the prize, glorious in the dawn light. The virgin rays of dawn fell from above her head, through her swathe of chestnut hair. They lit the prize, the edge of the sunlight gliding down it’s length, tempting us to make out move.
I sat across from her, taking in her every move. Every lick of her lips, flicker of her eyes, every twitch of her fingers. She looked stunning - nothing but the river of her hair to cover her modesty, a smile of pure evil on her lips, anticipation in her eyes. I’m sure she was thinking the same of me.
Except for the bit about the hair covering my mod
Winter’s grip is unforgiving.
Everything caught in its path is killed.
All its victims trapped in a cold, white grave.
Nothing can outrun it.
Nothing can escape.
Except for one.
Hidden deep underground
There is one survivor.
He sits still.
Frozen in time by Winter’s claws.
He does not breathe.
His heart is still.
His mind is empty.
He waits with the patience of time itself
Until Winter pulls away its curtains of death.
Then, slowly, his dehydrated body regains life.
Water rushes to each of his tiny cells.
His blood is warmed and his heart pounds again.
His mind regains its consciousness.
He opens his eyes and stretches
And makes
Body after body lay dead on the floor. I could not bear to witness the genocide. I saw my brothers taking the bodies and dragging them out through the mud, but there wasn’t the same disgust in their eyes as in mine.
“Do you disapprove of the methods of the Führer, Schmidt?” It was the Inspection General who stood behind me, inquiring my thoughts with his eyes.
“Never. He is both wise and brave, and whatever he does, he does for the fatherland.” I saluted with an arm in the air, cried out “Heil Hitler”, and helped my fellow soldiers remove the remaining bodies from the gas chambers. I gagged at the s

Differing Personal Definitions
“...You have no honor. Even if they don’t know it, the humans trust us to protect them from the forces of evil. We are supposed to hold ourselves to a higher standard that we may be worthy of our elevated position, and we can’t do that if we allow demons to walk the earth with impunity. You are lucky that your twin was able to track the demon without your help, or you would be spending eternity chained in the depths of Hell, right next to Brutus and Judas. As it is, you no longer deserve your place among us and shall be cast out to dwell among the mortals.”
Aaron didn’t argue with Michael. He could have said tha
Bryant pulled his hood up over his head, casting a shadow over his chiseled face. He mumbled something I couldn’t quite hear, so I decided to wander on over to where he was stood, looking towards the falling sun. “It wasn’t always like this, you know.” He said, like he had every night for the last few months. “I know, Bry.” I said, staring off into the distance with him. “You’ve told me before - great swathes of green, clouds of white and seas of blue. It wasn’t always like this, but it is now.” I finished, turning to look at him. He returned my gaze, though his eyes still seemed to
Edwin had no-where else to go. She'd left him. They'd all left him, really. One by one, everyone he'd ever known had walked out on him.
His father had run out when he was a baby, apparently unable to cope. His mother tried, but even she gave up. His earliest memory was of her tenderly brushing the hair of his face. Her hands were always wet - he'd never known why.
Not until his sister had explained, anyway. Clarice had been the best. Of anyone he'd known. She had accepted him, made the pain worthwhile. "Her little monkey", she would call him. Edwin didn't even understand that he was different until his ninth birthday. Until his sister sat d
Greg walked around the small two room living unit. It had little going for it. No wall coverings, a metal floor, one window, and many, many pipes visible in the ceiling. He swiped his ID tag at the door and selected viewing for rent/buy.
The door slide open with a soft hum sound and he step in. From the inside it was clear that the room had all the necessary hook ups for living appliances and even a few others he didn’t recognize. He peaked his head into the Bathroom/Med bay. It was obvious that before being renovated this was meant to be a small emergency Med Lab.
He walked outside and swiped the ID tag again as the door closed and l

Into Something New
to the edge and back again--
your hands were screaming
on the steering wheel
we have nowhere to go
but down
you've always flirted
with the belief that moving
might get you someplace
far away--
like dreams of heaven and
eternities and carelessness
forgotten,
but forever is never enough.
it is not reachable,
and all the tire tread in the world
couldn't take you from your
persistent persecutions.
no one ever took no for an answer;
your hands still scream for
deliverance from ambiguity
and actuality, as well.
so into the edge, far into the end
break the sky with your questions why
we have nowhere to go
