I have seen the enemyMy foe, my cause to stopThey are evil, no doubtirrational violence unending Their acts are heinousMy anger hot as magmadesirous of apoplectic revengeblackening my heart I cannot mirror their hatredCondemning my own soulPatience is my providenceI will not mirror their evil Moving against my nemesisDetermination as my swordThe enemy is vanquishedMy pneuma resting peacefully    

She stared at her reflection: silver-streaked hair, laughter lines, dark circles beneath her eyes. She looked middle-aged. Was middle-aged. Where were the white hair and deep creases of later years she’d expected to see as her end neared? Too soon… way too soon. Thoughts of a missed future – of laughing grandchildren, long summer days pottering outside, retirement holidays in far-flung places – threatened to bring tears....

Hello, I'm Saffie and I'm just eight years old.I hope you'll forgive me if I don't make much sense,But I'm a bit confused just at this momentAnd I don't quite understand what's going on.Mum and Dad had promised me something special,A really nice treat for my birthday present,And I jumped for joy when they told me the newsAbout the tickets for the Ariana gig.We got a train from Preston to Manchester,Just Mum, my sister and...

I'm feasting at this the table of life,No knife no fork just a blunt knife.My plate is filled and I can't get through fast enough,I'm filled but the waiter willing adds more stuff.There heaps of lovely meat burnt, black and bitter,There's vegetables too: all trying to turn me into a quitter.I eat as fast as I can but more obstacles appear,My plate seems to never get clear.I look around hoping for a fork or even a spoon,Th...

I cast my baitAnd wait and waitMy reflection changes, with every waveMy emotions all buried in different gravesThere say there's plenty of fish in the sea, so I surf into the sunsetPlenty of fish in the sea, so I surf the internet.I cry in the rain, as I try to refrainBut my eyes still remain, humidYou see, I once caught a mermaid.Something new to meBut the darkness in meEclipsed her light.I was a rebel; you was an angelW...

"Miss, Vena! Welcome back!" "Aye, Vena. It's been a while sweet heart." "Yo! Vena! Over here!" "Molo, Vena. Kuye mzuzwana, abe na?" "Hey, Vena!" "Welcome back, miss snake. What'll it be tonight?" "I told you," Vena replied. "It's not snake. It's Vena. Give me a caipirinha." "You know I can't do that," the bartender replied. "Besides, even if I knew how to mix that, a girl your age shouldn't be drinking alcohol." "Come on,...

Hate was such an unusual thing. Hate could be applied to so many things: enemies, animals, emotions, random people, freedoms, abilities, on and on unto infinity. But for Alex, hate was the emotion he felt whenever an entire place seemed against him. Navigating the maze of buildings proved far more difficult than necessary. Despite meeting only a few people and creatures along the way, just exiting the street that held him...

She couldn't understand it. None of it made any sense to her. No one should have been able to find her, least of all an idiotic weakling like him. She could have sworn she had covered all her steps better after escaping that prison. Even worse, she couldn't understand why they even wanted her back. She was perfectly fine and more than capable of taking care of herself. The worst part though was him. It was bad enough they...

"Uggh, why do I have to find her? Why couldn't she have just stayed in the room like all the other patients?" Alex grumbled as he trudged through the dense underbrush. He nearly fell when his foot brushed an exposed root but caught himself mid-fall. He couldn't understand why he was the one sent to look for a girl who had nearly killed him. After all, if she was strong enough to attack him, wasn't she strong enough to tak...

Her name was Revenance Widow, but to her friends, she was known as Vena. She was only sixteen years old but already known as a highly skilled treasure hunter amongst amateur adventurers. She had recently lost her partner, a boy whose name no one knew. She had been found lying on the ground screaming and unresponsive to anyone attempting to wake her. It wasn't until she was moved to a separate room that she finally calmed...

"If you could have one thing, what would it be?" "Hmm?" he asked. "If I could have one thing? Well, that's an easy one. But before I tell you, what about you? What would you want?" "What!?" his partner gasped. "No, no, no, no, no, no. I asked you first. You tell me and then I'll tell you." "I can't, otherwise you might be swayed by my answer," he laughed. "No I wouldn't," his partner proudly spoke. "For nothing can change...

Peace shattered in an instant. Nothing left for us here. The world had gone from splendor to dust. What little hope remained faded the moment we looked out to our little scarred planet. But even in the new darkness enshrouding us could not take away our determination to live. Hope did not fill us that day. It would not for many years to come. No, determination filled us and gave us a reason to live.And in that bleakness t...

Try it, you might like it It’s really not so rough Once you get the hang of itAnd practice just enough To some, it’s second natureOthers search the netStill others look to guidance books(Mine isn’t written yet)People will be drawn to youFriends to you will flockYour social life will blossomOf the town, you’ll be the talkI know what you’re thinkingOld habits hard to breakBut the benefits of changing thisThe detriments outw...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Run, run,And I'll let you pass;You can catch me,I'm the gingerbread lass.But I don't care if you're fast;I'm slow,'Cos I'm going the paceThat my feet can go.You said I couldn't,But I say "I WILL!",Whether it's downOr all up hill.And you can take itUp the big, fat shitter,'Cos I am strongAnd I'm not a quitter.Walk, walk,Walketty...

This song only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen. ~~~The sea speaks ~~~ Wash my tears away with rain;Leave my shadowed heart by the sea.I've been dreaming of a sunrise with you,Where the salt on the wind scours my pain.Where are you?Far away where the ocean horses run,There's a meadow where my love has gone to live.Sirens singing over velvet emerald waves,There's a light in th...
