Um well hello I suppose. My name is Xaine as you probably already know if you're reading this I guess. I've never written my own record before but, as I am approaching my seventeenth birthday, my father Barrek gave me this book and said that it was time I started. You see I am a human and we humans value our ancestry very highly. We believe it is our duty to record our lives for the benefit of future generations so that t...
She was ironically beautiful, like a gasoline rainbow. I have found this to be the truest truth: beauty comes in all forms, but the kind of beauty that changes you somewhere inside always comes in the shape of a gasoline rainbow. The kind of rainbow you see in a gas station at two o’clock in the morning with your heart weighed heavy with secrets and loss and your soul burdened with regret. The kind of rainbow that smells...
I would often come here, sit next to my friend, even if I knew not who laid here. We would speak and share a word of his life and how no one could care.It troubled me and left concerns of the future oh so near and what fate left for me to bear. I laid in the midst of the cemetery beneath the big gloom tree. Would stare up just to see, why such a spot, and who was he. The church bell chimed once again, as the crowd...
The uproar of emotions attracted me, so concerned were they as their tearsflooded their faces, women and men alike. It attracted my curious eye. Slowly I made my way through the emotional crowd to gaze upon the face of who was so proud. Gently he laid in the white velvet box peacefully asleep, draped in the finest garments.I gazed into his cold shut casket only to see a face similar to me. But how could it be. Starstruck...

It was shortly after sunset that Carpenter exited his hiding place in the cave and headed to the house. Brother Sebastian was already up and waiting for him. The Monk did not share his latest discovery with Carpenter and proceeded to place him under hypnosis. Once again Carpenter's mind went racing back in time. He was once again in the wizard's secret lair deep within the castle. The wizard had just departed for his audi...
For those of you unaware, this story contains graphic depictions of violence. It is not for the faint of heart. I've rated it EC, but even beyond that, this is not a story that has very much censorship. It may even be a trigger for some. Read at your own risk. Again, this story doesn't reflect the views of me or of Stories Space, and this kind of behavior is NOT condoned. *** Last night I forgot to dream again. Not consci...
Are goodbyes part of letting go?When loss breaks our hearts so. Loved ones never leave our mind.Constant ache, thrashing so unkind. Feeling part of our world has vanished.Can tear stained cheeks be banished? Though loss we're not rejoicing thus.Friends true, forever are a part of us. Living on they do inside our heart.Goodbye will never find our chart. One day our souls will reunite.As one, brightest star in the night. Fr...
Doran awoke early and didn’t hesitate. He sat up, swung his legs over the side of his bed, and stood. Doran was a farmer and years of experience had taught him that procrastinating was not good for anyone. He knew he had plenty of work ahead of him and whether he was tired or not, he had to get up and get to it. He had a very important part to play in his society and he knew the people needed the food and livestock he rai...
It has been seven days since we left. We were attacked a total of 6 times each attack more vicious than the last. If not for Jace, I may not have been able to handle them on my own. The attacks were so frequent and there were many vampires. Some of us are wounded, others on the verge of a mental breakdown, but we finally made it. Lycan stood before several yards to the side of a giant iron gate set in an enormous stone wa...

The Darkness is near In the place Between Sunset and Dusk The sun is sinking Below the Horizon Like a ship at sea Or a body at rest going into the ground But Do not fear The Darkness is near It cannot hurt a soul quite the opposite One is safe In the solitude Of the dark
Lately, I’ve been hanging around with a lot of fellow Pagans. Some questions have entered my brain, and I haven’t asked them yet, mostly because I’d like to get them sorted in my head first, so here goes. I’ll start off with me. I wear and use a lot of natural products and by-products: Leather, wood, paper, things like that. It got me wondering if it was really ethical for me as a Pagan to do so, and then I remembered one...
The vote was made and the procession moved onward. They had only a few hours before nightfall and hoped to reach their companions in time. On the trail, as they walked, Lycan pondered the possibility of making another like him, wondering if Jace could handle it and trying to judge his character. At the same time, his thoughts kept going back to why the killings had ended so quickly and, if there were survivors, how they h...
