Literature Text

I was introduced to death,
When I was 10 years old.
His friend's name was murder,
The sharp blade oh so cold.

Daddy lost his temper,
After he had a drink.
He came at us quickly,
We didn't have time to think.

He would hit Mommy and I,
Make us hurt and bleed.
The smelly drink caused it,
Something no family needs.

Mommy tried to save me,
But Daddy got her first.
I sat in a corner crying,
This one was the worst.

Now, Daddy's in prison.
Living there to stay.
I'm in heaven with Jesus and Mommy,
It's better here anyway.

I'm Not Wearing Black Because Somebody Died

I grab a dress out of my closet, feeling a gentle breeze as the skirt swings past my legs. Black. My combat boots, resting at the base of my bed, are adorned with studs placed by yours truly. Black. A lace choker rests on my neck accompanied with a few chains and a set of fangs. Black. A hat completes this look, and as I step outdoors, my neighbor approaches me with am empathetic “I’m so sorry.” Black. I adjust my backpack up onto my shoulders and fix my ring. Nails adorned with polish. Black. The air of Salem smells like freedom, and as I step out to the street, memories begin to overflow into my veins. Black. I hate you and everything you did to me. Everything you said to me. Black. Sensations come next— empowerment, grief relief, calm, acceptance— for I had committed murder. Black. I killed the part of me with any attachments to you. And as I begin to dance down the street, tears of joy fall onto my dress. Death has never been such a celebration.

I sighed and sat on the bed. What’ll happen when we get to the castle? Will he turn me once we get there? Just thinking about it is already scaring me…the other part is, once that happens then, my life will be changed, forever. But, I honestly don’t care what happens to me, all that matt

Zevran Arainai saw his reflection and couldn’t help but grin. Maker’s breath, but I'm beautiful! His elven blood gave him a lithe but well-toned build, with smooth brown skin laced with seductive tattoos. Golden hair framed a devilishly handsome and tattooed face, long and silky, and loose if not for the one braid he kept tied behind his head. It helped him in many ways: luring others into his bed, conning someone out of their coin or possessions, or even softening his

Skyrim: Dark Elf prt 2

Never in her life had she imagined she would be fleeing a battle, with a Nord no less! But then she hadn't imagined seeing a dragon in person either. Running down the winding staircase with her Nord companion, they entered a storage room where two Imperials were fishing through a barrel. Without waiting she and her Nord companion attacked, defeating the Imperials relatively easily. No wonder they traveled in packs, they didn't do well in small numbers. But then, neither did the Stormcloaks. Or herself, she admitted rather ashamed. She had walked into a trap with a bunch of Nords without so much as a pause to be suspicious of anything wron

Dragonborn X Serana Chapter 9

"Ugh... damn it!" She said in a whisper. She almost had it! Missed! Missed! Again, another miss... With great focus, she drew far it can possibly allow. Holding the string back as the arrow sits on the string, she felt her shoulder muscles ache, it has been aching for quite some time now. Yet she didn't dare to think of resting. The whole situation kept her uneasy. Plenty of 'what if her father succeeds' thoughts had been running through her head. She felt a heavy burden to be able to fire the arrow accurately. Accurately enough to kill her father. She was looking for the right strength to do it. Upon releasing the string of the bow, she

While it has only been an hour since they've returned, news around the castle spread like wild fire. And with arrival of the Companions on the Fort. It made things a lot easier for the soldiers to prepare for the upcoming battle, providing supply of food, gears and weapons. "You did what!?" Her voice echoed the hallways of the castle.

Well, outside the castle wall at least. But, wow! Looks at that, it's gorgeous." She proclaimed feeling fascinated by the beauty of winter that can unravel. Aurora lights dance elegantly through the night skies & the whole land was nearly covered in snow. The creeks that froze shined as it was touched by the moon light, and diamond dust crystals covered the pine trees. "I'm just glad we found a place to settle during that storm. We would have fr

“One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.” I jumped along with the woman on screen, throwing my arms up and back down again. Twenty more jumping jacks, I thought tiredly. I followed along for a few more minutes, sweat pouring down my forehead. I felt ready to pass out as I dropped to the ground when she was done. I heaved and gasped for breath and she concluded the session. “Ugh,” I groaned, wiping my forehead and pressing the power button on the TV remote. I held my stomach as it growled loudly. I was too exhausted and too hungry and I just couldn’t get up yet. I stretched out on the flo

The sun beat down onto the small island of Outset, much like it did every single day of every single week. It was almost irritating. Almost as irritating as the warm waves that continuously crashed against the calm bay, ruining all the sandcastles the town’s kids had made. Granted, (Name) guessed he couldn’t really call this a town, per say, but more like a tiny, tiny community that was plopped on the face of the earth out of nowhere, like the Goddesses didn’t really care what happened to it. It was probably called Outset Island for that reason. The island did have some perks, though. Even though the sun raged like an angry

I don't know where the idea for this came from. It's about a child and mother that were killed by an abusive husband/father from the child's point of view
