Sinners Playground Novels & Stories

“Good looking out, Noah.” Noah gave a sage nod, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ll be right back,” I said, walking away with Noah in tow. The playground was close enough that I’d be able to see Noah while Marley and I ate. It was covered in a bed of hay and some tumbling mats so if any of the kids fell, they’d at least have a soft landing. I paid the gaggle of girls running the playground and acting as informal supervisors. We chatted a bit, and I learned they were an all-shifter softball team. They were running the playground to raise funds for equipment and uniforms.

I tried to keep my grace as my head spun with the information that I was given. This was unbelievable! Did my family upset someone enough to get them to sell my body as a service? Did I offend someone and not realize it? I rubbed my temples trying to think, but then my thoughts were interrupted. "Anyway, welcome to the playground. We hope you enjoy recreating your deepest fantasies." I followed the two men out of a room and into a hallway. It was painted in dark reds with black accents. Chandeliers with LED flickering candles led the way down the long hallway with doors on both sides.

but there’s a playground there now, one of the biggest jungle gyms she’s ever seen, massive and sprawling, like those at an amusement park, like at Water Safari over in Old Forge . And it’s glowing, pulsing with a haunting yet beautiful phosphorescence, as if drawn with a fluorescent neon pen and there are children everywhere, clambering up ladders, climbing ropes, sliding down poles and slides, swinging off monkey bars, running across play drawbridges. Children everywhere; bright, glowing children. And she hears—as breath on the wind—the distant and muted but joyous shrieks and cries of laughter. The little girl carrying her son’s toy disappears into the throng and though Ellen really can’t

Saktong mag-aalas dose na nang matapos ang misa. May inihandang pagkain ang eskwelahan namin kaya pagkatapos ng misa ay nagtungo kami sa isang cottage na medyo malapit na sa may dagat. Pagkatapos naming kumain ay binigyan kami ng isang oras para makapaglakad-lakad sa buong lugar. "I get it now why other seniors want to join this event because they are able to see their girlfriends from the other schools..." Finn, our half Pinoy and half black American friend suddenly said.

Zack agilely crawled in, just as he picked up the leather ball, suddenly out of nowhere he heard the voices of two men conversing, coming from above. He lifted his head. The playground of Starlight Kindergarten was sunken, while to the south, there was a wide and straight main road. Standing on the green belt next to the road, one could see the whole view of the playground through the fence. He saw two men standing outside the railing, maliciously eyeing a row of children in the center of the playground. One of the men muttered to himself, "Can you tell which two are the children we are looking for?" "Didn't she say that the two children were twins? It shouldn't be difficult to find them."

Rose had no other choice but to rely on other people this time. *** Rose tried not to squirm as a swarm of kids approached her upon arriving at the orphanage. In her periphery, she could see Trick and Ty suppress a smile, while Jericho wasn't at all trying to hide his. Rose clenched her fists to the sides as she got dragged into the middle of the playground. "You're so pretty! What's your name?!" "Come play with us! Play with us!" The kids' voices grated on Rose's ears, but she let herself be brought into the middle of the field, where they were playing something called "Green Light, Red Light."

He couldn’t deny her that. “It’s okay for you to come.” “It’s not. Not if you’re scowling like that,” she mumbled. Maksim chuckled, and she punched his shoulder softly. “What’s wrong with coming here? It’s beautiful.” The pink hammock with yellow stripes was different from what he remembered. It hung from a thick branch with its leaves spreading out to form a canopy over them. They turned to the water, and he sighed. It was indeed beautiful and peaceful, but it came with so many memories he wasn’t sure he ever wanted to visit. The Sinners Men were tough, cold, and emotionless.

“Put this on. Speak only when spoken to.” Celeste slipped the mask on and stepped through the second set of doors. That was when she realized what the Playground really was. Naked bodies danced in the dim candlelight. Women on leashes, crawling. Men sipping whiskey while watching someone tied to a cross being flogged with a soft whip. Moans echoed off the walls. A woman was blindfolded on a velvet chaise, two men taking turns between her thighs. It wasn’t an orgy. It was theater. And she was the newest act.

It’s tempting to use my mind to strangle him again. "Why are you doing this?" I demand. "An innocent present for my dare sister," he grins, brushing past me to walk down the path, looking over his shoulder at us. "Might soften her up." I glare at Sinful’s back, but regardless, we all follow him, until the hill starts to slope downward, and the trees clear, revealing a small wooden cottage nestled within a blooming garden. It’s a beautiful sight, but one that elicits shivers across my skin, knowing that the vibrant colours and distracting views are to conceal the darkness of Ira.
