A New Life Chapter 1: Saved, Part 1
Jayne relaxed her muscles as she lay comfortably against the brick wall behind her, shutting her eyes in an attempt to shut out the world around her. The late-evening commute was the only thing making any noise anymore. Most people were at home, comfortable in their own beds, readying up for the next day, but not her. No, she was perfectly content with a knapsack as a pillow and her own sweatshirt as a blanket.
The streets were nothing unfamiliar to her. She’d lived on them most of her life and near them all of it. She had prepared herself to live forever. The memories of her mother’s tears were still fresh in her mind, but she
Surrounded by nothing
But the sights and sounds of nothing
Perched on the edge of humanity
And slowly falling off
I brace myself
Expecting to feel the air that isn’t there to rush past my face
But getting nothing
I look up
And see nothing
I am lost in the depths of nothing
The mocking glares of God burning holes in the back of my neck
I scream with all my might
But nobody hears me
I choke as I realize that there is no air to breathe
And I hear the cursed god above me laugh as I slowly fade away
Your whole world crumbles down
There is no one by your side
Love the hate and terror
Or it will bury you alive
With every thrust you manage
You put your training to the test
Fighting for your very life
Never a moment to rest
Run away
Take my hand
You're not alone
Together we stand
Stumble upon the broken body
Of your mother where she lays
All your courage leaves your body
With your righteous alibis
Run away
Take my hand
You're not alone
Together we stand
Don't slow down
We must make haste
Never look back
No time to waste
The smile on her face was enough to light the stars
The warmness of her voice could relax the angriest of tyrants
To see her go is almost more than I can take
For I have lost a true friend, and I doubt to ever have her back
Maybe she'll return...
In all of her grace and peace
And give us all another chance
To bask in the depths of her care and compassion
Something that I'm sure we will all grow to miss
She will never be forgotten
Her legacy will remain forever in our heads and in our hearts
And that will never change
To forget would be a crime above all crimes
It would deny her the respect she truly deserves
Goodbye, friend. You will be misse
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
It just wasn't meant to be
The heartache I deserved
Has brought me to my knees
I don't get how you walk away
And leave me here to bleed
But the feelings that I had for you
Were never make-believe
Sometimes I still cry at night
In sadness and in fear
Bringing back the memories
I will forever hold dear
With every thought I have of you
I shed another tear
You don't know what it's like
To just want to disappear
Stuck alone in a corner
I see the lights grow dim
Don't ask me why I cut so deep
I did it on a whim
The image of the knife in my chest
Is a vision rather grim
And you will be forever blamed
When in pools of bloo
A flood of memories
A field of broken dreams
A web of city streets
One true love I'll never meet
Still I hear people say
Fortune will come my way
But be that as it may
A lonely man I stay
Stay alive, I do
Through troubles old and new
Now I present to you
My anthem of solitude
Is this what is has come to?
Empty promises
Broken dreams
Shattered hopes
Kind of makes you think...
Had God intended this along?
All the suffering
And the pain
And the grief
That every human being suffers.
Why would he hate me so?
What had I done to infuriate such a great being?
It's the world conspiring against me.
Every day is another disappointment.
Another chance for the world to show off its power.
Against me.
Nobody else.
Just me.
As if I'm deserving of such hatred
I'm not.
I don't think
I need answers.
Am I as bad as I'm made out to be?
I feel my heart pounding in my throat.
Every thought making me sicker.
And sicker.
And weaker.
And

Blood of the Damned Chapter 1 - Trapped, Part 2
Derek pounded against the edge of the field with all his might, trying to escape, but to no avail. This was a force field. He had no way of getting out, and by the looks of it, his friends had no way of getting in. Lisa, one of his most trusted friends, stood in front of him, trying to reach out to him. Her lips were moving in some sort of scream but nothing got to him. To let her know, he put his hands up to his ears, shaking his head. Remembering what he was up against, Derek turned back around to face the monster. He drew his swords, knowing he had to fight his way out of here.
He lunged at it, swinging both swords cross-body to ensure a
