What the hell was this!?
Blood, guts, bone, gore. Littering the floor in tiny chunks and pieces… meat…?
The young man, trembling, dared to look down the deserted alleyway, palms sweating and fist clenching the strap of his cloth grocery bag. Blood… what was this? A murder?
Past experiences allowed Honeymilk to summon his courage and step into the alley, though he had never in his whole life been able to calm his beating heart once it started hammering against the inside of his chest.
A chill ran up his spine as he lifted his shoe to take another step, and found that it was sticky….
Blood… not even dry.
Another step.

Penny for Your ThoughtsI spent my childhood kneeling on the hard wooden floors of a temple located away from the cities and towns. I lived in that temple with my sister until we were old enough that we were sent out of the temple to attend a proper middle school instead of being cared for by the priests there. I should have left by myself, but Sara came with me.Penny for Your Thoughts4 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

I met Miyabi in high school. Does he remember? Probably not.
His teary face is cute. His angry face is cute. His happy face isn't so cute, but he's still cute. Miyabi is cute.
I don't want him to get bored of me. How do I make this interesting…?
Teasing the person you love sure is fun.

Finally.
The kitchen had an eerie atmosphere at night. It was most likely due to the silence and the dull gleam of metal tools, reflecting the low glow of the silvery moon from the window at the back. It was immediately switched into a business-like area the moment the lights flickered on. Clean and orderly, there wasn't a speck of dirt to be seen, not even on the top of shelves that nearly touched the ceiling. Good.
Shane slipped the spatula off his wrist and set it on the counter. He didn't need it for what he had in mind. Making sure that his sleeves were rolled up properly so they wouldn't come loose and interrupt him in the middle of his work, he then took out what he needed from several compartments in the kitchen.

Smiling, she ran a finger over every one of them, whispering their names in voice so soft, as though any louder, they would wake up and call endlessly for attention.

Happy New Year"Good morning, Callium," Honeymilk smiled at the drowsy younger boy as he stumbled into the kitchen and collapsed into a chair, the greeting not quite registering in his brain. Unperturbed by the lack of response, Honeymilk proceeded to dish out a few pancakes in front of Callium, who looked ready to drop off again despite the stretches he routinely executes in his room. Mumbling something that the wild cat hybrid guessed was a form of thanks, the other began to attack his meal with energy that contrasted his earlier state.Happy New Year1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

So perfect and serene
In its unmistakable beauty
Brush the snow white petal
Watch as it turns
From that glowing soft colour
Into that of decay and rot
Brush the snow white petal
And behold the terrible sight
Of a lovely flower disappear
Into small fragments of dirt
Brush the dead brown flower
And look at its decayed beauty
Shattered into small fragments
Of long forgotten serenity
Brush the dead brown flower
And watch as the fresh breeze
Blows its pitiful remnants away
With a carressing hand

Where mistakes will be pardoned
Where tea is served with grace

Served by a man in mossy green
Wearing a tall top hat
A smile forever across his lips

As his friend, a small little mouse
Stumbles about the table
And a brown hare eats strawberry cake
While mischevious little cat
Nips about and steals some biscuits
Before vanishing with cheerful eyes
And an even more cheerful grin
Beyond this garden lies even grander sights

Love, Left, Alone. {Pt. 1}Cupid awoke to a bright new day, cuddled comfortably underneath his blankets. Half-closed, sleepy indigo eyes popped up above the covers, and the young boy hidden underneath let his drowsy gaze slip the window. Without a sound, he slithered out of his bed and sidled up to it. He carefully pinched the curtains open and looked out to the perfect blue sky. Then, he smiled to himself and slid the drapes apart properly. Cheerfully, he went to the bathroom, splashed his face with water, then went to dress.Love, Left, Alone. {Pt. 1}2 months ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
Mikael had brought him to the tailor's just last week, and Cupid equipped his new attire -- an outfit comprised of checked shorts, a white button-up with frilled-sleeve adornments, long socks, polished black shoes and a gentleman's hat -- with a certain joy that bubbled deep down from his heart. This joy stemmed from the clothes that Mikael had gotten just for him, but that same joy also branched out to what Cupid knew about the day's agenda.
He wondered if Lucifer would mind if he....

Cupid lay awake in bed, as he had been the whole night, as if standing vigil. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep. It felt like he couldn't. Shouldn't.
Something amazing had just happened. It wasn't right to sleep.
He hadn't slept for the past three days. It had all happened so, so fast.

For the whole night he'd watched the shadows dancing behind his eyes, and when the Sun began to rise he switched to watching its light creep across the floor. When, at last, its fingers brushed his bed, he got out of bed and inspected the bandages on his hands. To cover up the piercings of the thorns. From... from that day.
"That day"?

The young boy washed his face. Put on his clothes. Wore his socks. Then his shoes.

This was all Cupid could feel or think of. It was all he heard, all he saw, all he thought of.
Vinson was gone. After he'd left the throne room, Cupid had lingered there, stunned. Afraid. He'd whimpered, "come back," but it was too late. He was alone.
He hadn't had much time to think, however, and was soon swept away by the festivities. He rushed through each and every one of them, and because of this spilled some wine on the table cloth. No one noticed, apparently, and that was good. Quickly, quickly, quickly: he finished up his duties, from his coronation to the blessing of the new soldiers.
His duties had began immediately.
He had remembered when Mikael had done it for him, and copied him precisely. Nervous, almost stumbling. But he had done it. He had done it. Quickly.
Without even changing out of his robes, the first thing Cupid did was rush to Vinson's room.
Gone.
He went to Mikael's room.
Empty.
Back to Vinson's room.

With my bells of sanity
and ringing sounds of old
On a painting of humanity
I'm flitting through the sky
On the wings of vanity
Everywhere I look,
It's motherfucking agony
Sifting through the trees
Though it's dark and hard to hide
The whistling of the breeze
Says it's very latest last goodbyes
You shelter in the screams
Of the wind that shrieks of pain
It tears apart the seams
of the hope you clung to
Now there's nowhere left to hide
And there's nowhere left to turn
There's no one to hold the gun
Let your sanity return
Though I'd do it if I could
And I really think I would
It doesn't take that much for the dark to take it back.

"No. Father didn't exactly say when they'd be back," he murmured, though his feet took him down the steps and across the gardens. "Still! Maybe they'll be happy that someone'll be there to welcome them home."
Humming a little hymn, Cupid stopped to sniff at the flowers scattered around the garden. He wandered from bush to tree to plant to patch, and back to tree. Then he froze in his tracks, mesmerized. There, behind the rose bushes, was a gorgeous silver flower. Its petals were a sparkling shade of silver, but its core was pitch black as night. It reminded him of Mikael.

I stood there. My neck wrapped around with rope, that connects to a wooden frame. I was standing on a stool, outside of a courtyard. The crowd's glares were towards me, all of them were dressed in royal blue. There was two coffins, one for me, and the victim that lead me to this fate. A man stood in front of a podium, covered in a black ritual wear. The judges of trials like this usually wear the costume, it was a large mask that covered the entire head, and a long gown with different patterns that represent the dead. The man's face was emotionless because of the mask. But his voice boomed to th
