BOUNDRY CROSSEDI leaned against the wall stuffing the black crystals inside the cigarette I was carrying, with my eyes slightly on the horizon. The loud laughter, which I knew belonged to Hendrik and his ten friends was unignorable. I carefully burnt the butt of the cigarette gracefully as the flavor of petrol filled my mouth.I slowly closed my eyes enjoying the flavor. The sound of the door clicks opening caught my attention. I quickly peeled my eyes open and stared at Geno who had stepped out from his apartment which was beside the steps, I was standing on.“Why were you following me today?” I asked placing the cigarette behind my back.“Excuse me?” he asked sliding his hands inside his jean jacket’s pockets.“I saw you, and that girl friend of yours”“Anastasia?” he asked.“I don’t know and don’t care,” I rudely replied.“A

WOMAN REVOLUTION!I continuously scabbed my body which had turned red. “You know Rin, people like us are not meant to have anything good, so hoping we get people who actually love us is pointless,” echoed in my head.I finally stopped scabbing my body and got up heading to the sink. I stared at my reflection. Just like a year ago I still felt disgusted to see myself. I took the pair of scissors from the sink and started cutting my hair. I watched each hair falling on the sink.I placed back the pair of scissors on the sink near the pack of black crystal reaching my hand for the roll of bandages on the sink. I carefully wrapped it around my breast, until I couldn’t see any of that god forsaken part of my body.I pulled the old grey hoodie and pair of old jeans from the chair beside me wearing them. I took the pack of black crystal and shoved it at the back of my jeans. One last time I stared at the new Siren Weapon before me.I then walk

CONFESSION“Two packs are missing,” Hendrik stated.“Are you sure?” Bob asked.“What do you take me for? Yes, I’m sure!” Hendrik sharply said. “I had fifteen packs now there are only thirteen.” The door clicked open as I quickly moved to the balcony, pretending to be staring at the sky. Rosie appeared. She closed the door from behind her.She walked toward me and stared at the people walking below our building. Most were heading to work. My mother also used to go to work at these early hours before I got ready for school.She would always leave the house after she had prepared my lunch box even if I told her not to prepare it for me.“Crazy how seasons change so fast,” Rosie pulled me out from my wild thoughts.“What do you want?” I asked.She turned her gaze to me. “Don’t you think I should be the one asking you that?”“What do you mean?” I asked.“Do you really think Hendrik loves

LOCATIONI watched Geno talking with the young woman with natural henna hair. He handed her a box which was wrapped with a newspaper, which she got excited after opening it. She gave him a hug, almost knocking him off his bicycle.“You are awake?” Rosie’s voice asked.I shifted my eyes toward her.“Umm,”She poured the hot water from the kettle beside me inside her mug. Her skinny hands took one of the clean tea spoons from the bowl, and poured three spoons of sugar inside her mug. Something about her presence was unbearable. I placed the cup of tea on the sink and headed for the door. Before I could step out she said, “Trusting Charlie is like trusting a man,”I felt my body tense. “She’s trouble, trust me I know,” She walked pass me heading to Eight who had stepped out his room rubbing his eyes.“Hello big boy,” She playfully said pulling Eight&

TRAP, KEEP FEELINGBlood dripped onto the floor as I blinked a multiple times. The screeching sound of the chair caught my attention. “I’ll ask you one last time, who are you working for?” Edge asked pushing my face up with a knife.Something about his eyes seemed dangerous, but not as dangerous as Hendrik’s. My eye suddenly caught sight of Andy standing beside the door. There was no sign of Hendrik, at least for the time being I could think of a way to escape.“I already told you, I don’t know what you are talking about!” I yelled. “Please believe me!”His hand moved closer to my face showing me a pack of black crystal on it.“How do you explain this? This was found in your clothes,” Edge explained.“N…”The memory of their conversation a week ago talking about someone stealing their stuff came flooding in my mind.“You
