Her tears fell all night, her breathing coming in heaving gasps, her wails echoing throughout the night- the only thing you couldn’t hear was the silent break of her heart.

He dove into the pond, his bare skin gleaming in the moonlight.

She stretched her wings, unfurling them from their full span, and with a great leap she jumped off the roof and soared into the night.


I didn’t think that I would ever become a serial killer, but then again, I never thought I’d become an axe murderer and look where I am now.

I was only seven years old when I took my first victim.

Her heart was stopped beating for just a moment when he leaned in and kissed her mouth, his lips flitting around her own.

    HEY GUYS:

    It may be a day or two before I comment on your story, but know that I read them all the minute I see them. I'm all caught up with Halloween parties (hosting and going to) and school and makeup work (I was sick for all last week) and softball and such. Sorry if it bugs you! I'll try and get caught up as soon as I can.

    ♥SARAH!

      I'm not gonna add it, but you can use it! It's a really awesome quote. (I'm just sort of lazy today.)

      Just in your author's notes, so I remember that I let you do this, just put like, "Bald heads are a sign of wisdom". Please.

      ♥SARAH

      P.S. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

        'duct tape is like the force. it has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together'.
