  • Bigby, The Pink Unicorn

    There was an ogre attacking the city, and all that stood in its way were two frightened guards, Richie and Clayton, and a large, stone wall built around the city in case of such dire circumstances.

    Now these two were no ordinary guards; they were in fact the lowest of the low in strength, experience, and looks. Though, mind you, looks don’t typically help in the case of fighting ogres, unless you are a pretty damsel with light blue eyes and long brown hair, but that is neither here nor there because both were in fact boys, if not young men, and Hedersberg, the city that now finds itself under attack, has barely any fine damsels to distress.

    Hedersberg is a lowly city that exists well beyond many of the other cities constructed by man, and pushes closer and closer to the woodlands and mountainous areas, very far away from any more distinguishable and, need I say, mentionable cities in the country of Blythe.

    Hedersberg is nothing in comparison to the shining city of Bellzadad or the capital city Couroach, but it does have its finer points. It has a sizable army within for protection. Though today that doesn’t seem to matter nor do the other finer points if the city is leveled by an ogre.

  • Night’s Reign

    Black…

    Dearest day that came from oblivion.

    Night was made.

    Which pierced the flesh with utter terror,

    Combing bare the soulless splendor of happiness long gone.

    Mindless staring,

    Hardly caring,

    Living softly upon the floor.

  • Splitzo Frenetica: Chapter 2

    Terrance Stone

    It’s been three months since my parents left me here at Wellington Asylum. The best thing about it is I get plenty of rest. I get shots that calm me down and pills. Lots of pills. I’m always eager to take them. I’m sixteen, but in here there is no age. I have not improved, or so the doctors say, but I find my life is more stress-free than ever.

    Back in my old life, grades, girls, right and wrong, it all disappears here. There is no standard.

    My next door neighbor is a vegetable; no one expects him to get up and quote Shakespeare. I hope he does wake up, though. It sucks to just lie around and wait to die…

    For me, the reason I’m here, I have lapses in memory. I forget what happened 5 seconds before I “wake” up. Or at least that’s how I think of it. My doctors say I have multiple personalities. I don’t really know what that means.

  • Splitzo Frenetica: Chapter 1

    Welcome to the Psyche Ward

    Where am I? I had these episodes often. I would wake up, not knowing where I was or how I got there. I was fortunate, however, to always be found by a nurse. I never thought I could like a place like this…

    I remember the first day my parents left me here. It was a cool morning; I think it was September. We walked into the building… At the time, I didn’t know, but it was an asylum. I remember the smell on the inside. It smelled clean and it looked orderly. It felt calm, but there was something in the air as if something was coming…

    Do you feel that, Jamie… Violence… ha ha…

    This is not the time for your bothersome tom foolery…

    Hey that doctor is kind of cute…

    Guys seriously, keep it down a little… geez…

  • Old Reopened Sorrow

    The wind blew with a savage eloquence,

    Whispering words that cut deep,

    Deeper than any blade before it.

    Snow swirling, dancing on the wind…

    Bitter cold…

    Piercing and stinging with delicate precision,

    Hitting sore places that had long ago healed.

     

    The snow is bloody now.

    Crimson pools of sadness

    And Captured images of the past,

    Cutting down upon thee,

    Reliving wretched agony.
