The Creek's Light Chapter 1: Personality Disorder
The sounds of running water rushing down as a cool but gentle breeze hits my face. I can smell a nice scent of lavender sending a calming sigh to come from my mouth. I knew for a fact that his peaceful darkness never lasted like how I wanted to. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* I knew it...

The Mirror
1 Impulse Purchase Taylor loved going into the antique stores around town… he never bought anything though, because he was frugal. There was never anything he really needed, and what seemed like something he could use always cost more than he was willing to spend. There was a discount store not far from his place. That was where he purchased his needs, from toiletries to cheap furnishings.

A Pagan's Inquisition
Our town was Pagan, and consisted of gypsies and other groups of nomads. My name was Yndira. I was half-French and half-Indian (my mom was white enough and knew French) and a redhead. Our town was in France, but close to the border with England. There was a city there that ruled our town. The guards they sent were cold and unwelcome. They wore red and yellow tabards with Crusaders’ crosses on them, which meant they were sent by their bishops. They had armor under their tabards and carried spears. I certainly never welcomed them.

A Good Book
The snow was falling outside the window of the old bookstore. You could tell the store was old from the mold in every corner and the smell of cats. As I sifted through each bookshelf, I could tell most of these books haven’t been looked at in years because they were dusty, and their spines were slowly falling apart like little old ladies.
