    The hum of the internal motor ceased and the red light vanished. That was the last security camera. Carefully, Halt scaled his way back to his bedroom window. One wrong move and his brains would be caked all over the concrete. He finally made it back and gracefully plopped onto the floor from the windowsill.    “Are you done yet, Cy?”    “Almost.” The blond had just finished tying his last knot. “Are you sure this will be long enough?”    “If not, we can always try to swing into the bushes.” To make himself feel better about the whole scenario, Halt looked out to the ground below. It s

Behind the strip of wall by the gym doors, a boy crouched in the corner. He laid his forehead on his knees. Tears threatened to spill down his cheeks. Slowly, he got up and made his way to the front office. California October, 2011 Everyone was at the funeral. I didn't go. I could barely keep myself composed at the wake. I watched it happen with my own eyes. I heard the breaks. I looked over my shoulder out the window. I saw the truck. I saw the lights. I saw my best friend fly across the road as if he were nothing. He gave me his bus pass... He should have lived; that should be me laying in that coffin. Everyone was acting so sad. They di

The Guidlines - Please don't remove these~! :) 1. Pick twelve (12) of you characters. Make sure you count yourself in there to for a total of thirteen (13)~! It's more amusing to read if you put yourself in the mix ;3 2. Make sure you list all their names if the have more then one, i.e If they have an alias list it 3. Once you've picked your characters make sure you remember which number corresponds to which character before you start, this will become important later on 4. Without planning it or thinking about it, make your characters go through the scenarios using the first things that come to your mind for each one 5. Don't feel

Silently I walked. Walked in total darkness. Walked in the brisk cold. Walked as the harsh Wind embraced me within her whimsical, uncaring arms. Walked as I heard dogs braking off in the distance. Walked as the sound of already-dead leaves echoed through the seemingly-dead forest. Walked as the Wind pulled the dark, heavy clouds overhead. I exhaled. My puff of breath inhaled by the Wind. Her chilling cackle surrounding my freezing body. I wrapped my arms around myself. The icy mistress only howled in amusement. Teeth chattering, I carry on. Carrying on into nothingness. A hollow void impossible to fill. Unable to let go of any and everythin

Cyrus doddled behind. The blond knew something was bothering Halt. More importantly, Cyrus was recalling the things Jose had said earlier. Was he right? Would Halt really leave him for a girl? Would it be better that way? Halt swung his arms unnecessarily too much as he walked in his angered state. His pace was much faster than Cyrus's by far. Once realizing this, Halt swiftly turned around. "Why are you walking so slow, for?" Cyrus's eyes widened as he was abruptly pulled away from his thoughts. Realizing the distance between them, Cyrus quickened his pace. "Huh? Oh, I was just thinking..." Halt only scoffed as he turned around continui

"Jose, have you seen Riley or Shaun?" Lynsey asked the Hispanic as she walked into the kitchen. "Nah," Jose replied. "I haven't seen Halt or that Kayla girl, either for a while." "Oh, since Shaun disappeared, maybe him and Kayla are together somewhere." Jose glanced at Lynsey, wondering if she realized how wrong her statement had sounded. Upon seeing her face, Jose just smiled that the girl's innocence. Riley walked in. He was followed by Cyrus. Cyrus continued walking into the living room. Riley picked up a plate at the buffet table to get himself some food. Jose silently asked himself why the two had coincidentally walked in together.

Halt closed the door behind him before turning to Kayla. "So, what was it about the exam that you wanted to ask me?" "What?" Kayla looked up. Confusion covered her features. "You know," Halt signed, "the question you had? The exam? Any of it ring a bell?" "Oh, that," Kayla nonchalantly waved her hand. "I just said that to get you alone." "Why?" Halt questioned, becoming increasingly annoyed. "Halt, have you ever questioned your sexuality?" A devious smirk spread across the brunette's lips. The German suspiciously raised an eyebrow. "Honestly, yes I have. If it's any of your concern, of which I believe it is not. Why do you ask?" "Isn't

Strobe lights spontaneously flickered around the house. The normal lights were replaced by black lights. A long buffet table was assorted with food, sweets, and refreshments. Lynsey jumped into everyone's view. "Welcome to my party! And Merry Christmas, everyone!" Everyone simply stared at her. All was silent except for the bass of a techno song pumping in the background from somewhere in the house. "Don't just stand there, come on in!" Lynsey stepped aside so that they all could enter the house. "Well this is my place. The food is right over here." Lynsey slid over next to a long table spread with foods, snacks, and sweets. Everyone wo
