Twenty-Two
Andre stood in front of the what was supposed to be Miss Barton's house but now ashes. He stepped on its debris, trying to figure out what he had no idea of.
Pow! Pow!
The sound of a gun fired at him. He dived to the ground, covering both ears as Maria walked towards him.
“pedazo de mierda, mataste a mi madre (you piece of shit, you killed my mother),” she spat.
“What, what are you saying,” Andre pleaded, still facing the ground.
“You killed my mother asshole,” she screamed, pulling out the empty cartridge again.
“No, no, no, I didn't,” he screamed, turning to face her this time.
“I didn't know she was dead. I came to ask about this man,” he said, pulling out a picture from his top pocket.
She let took the picture, paying close attention to it as the imag

The plan crafted inside him. Jones, Paul, was the vessel and his head—the voice resided.Jones stood outside, hidden in the darkness of the streets. They would shield him perfectly with no figures, only if they were as dark as his heart.He placed his hand on his chest, feeling the carved name, Rebecca.

Life is the best gamer of them all.It fucks you up and leaves you with no choice.He gives you a will only to take it.In the end, you find out,You never really had a choice.It was cold and although every eighteen years old would be asleep by now, Maria remained alert with her body wrapped in the blanket. They had been driving for quite a while and she already knew Benjamin had been moving slowly on purpose. She couldn't help but wonder what reasons he might have not to reach Fenwick faster.“Are we low on gas?” she asked him, keeping her gaze fixed on him.“huh?” “You are driving slow, are we

The boat takes us places,Places we can never swim to.The boat of life takes us on its ride The ride we might never want to take.****A couple of months ago, Maria would have thought her life now would be as a fresher in college, somewhere far away from her mother. She would make just one friend and gut every boy that tried to see under her pants—figuratively. She would be in class, while the lecturer hits on her and she would tell her mother all about it, but now her mother was no more.Maria had dreamt a couple of years from now she would put on that awful gown and hilarious hat on her head, may be called on to address the people of Fenwick college. A year or two later, she would be sitting in her office somewhere uptown, wearing a

We wake up to monsters every day,We wake up sometimes to becoming one.The monster today,Is the prey tomorrow.So aren't we all monster?****No one would understand his reasons, no one would see him other than what the society had deemed him to be. The monster in the children tales and the man every woman must dread. They seemed to have forgotten the whispers in their children ears, “go find love in any man and make sure he loves you back.” The same whispers drove the man they call the imposter, what crime had he committed other than obey the tales of his childhood and loved a lady as she so desired to be loved? Was it no longer fancy to kill and be willing to die for the woman you love? Or was old ta

How long does the dark last?How long until dawn?How long,Before the shadows catch up with you?Welcome to the light.The storm was setting its pace, the wind furiously swept the city. Andre and Maria stood outside Jones's house, staring at the dark house. The sound of sirens as a patrol car drove past them. Andre bowed his head, making sure the hoodie covered his face well enough. He bit his lip, wondering how he got here.He was just the man with eyes only for his work and nothing more. He was part of nature's rush, how then did he end up on its bad hand? All the years of waking up to antagonizing alarms, the incessant interview with multiple girls, some of which thought sleeping with him was the way into the magazine. He was a man of principles, I guess the good die young.His phone rang, “Go in, gather as much as you can and meet me i

The flames within burns more than the flame outside.***She lit the lighter again, bringing the flame closer to his body. With every reach he made, she turned it off. She used her hand to count the invisible spots on his naked back while he shivered more. He closed his eyes, slowly losing himself to his suffering. His teeth already hurt from all the gnashing and his heart struggled to pound. “Do you still want to go back?” she asked as she turned on a tap. She fixed a hose to it's opening the turned to Paul, I asked you a question. The cold freezing liquid hit his skin, sending another wave of shock, and cold

Monsters are not the scary creatures we see at night.They are not double-headed ugly creatures.They are the ones we call friends,They could be us.****She was escorted by two officers, same once who would have followed her orders into their deaths anytime. Her hair blown into the direction of the wind held only by her scalp. Her head bowed and eyes covered. The wind around her was thick and there was no room for regrets, just spite. Her lip was bruised and tainted red by the blood. Even in defeat, Kara knew she was right. One Hour Ago:The walls were closing in on her. The pounding sound of her heart could be heard from miles away. She was a good detective, the best, but now, if she gets

Stir the earth just a little too deep, you might find its trouble responding.Bring the dust too her and you will get drowned in it.What you deemed wrong, another considers glorious.In the end, it's all a matter of perception.****Raging flames, raging flames,That was all she felt. Her blood burning and the fire coursing through her, consuming every part of her. Conflagrated,She was burnt in anger, her chest heaved with every breath she took. She would choke him till his breath left him and his heart never beats again but she was locked behind bars like the criminals she used to toss there and the police could not get a hold of him either. &nbs
