"My council was wise, and you did well to obey; now that you are home, things will remain this way."
Artemis was being her usual self. I patted her on the back, because she was actually right, even though I hadn't listened to her advice at first. I'd done a bad thing, running away, but I knew never to do it again. Everyone faces bad times, and we just have to deal with them: that was something I'd learned during my time away. Running away doesn't help anyone, and instead just gets you into bigger trouble.
My father had been in a bad way while I'd been in Ponyville, and when I first rang the doorbell of our home after returning to Manehattan

"Al said he wasn't going to give up on me!" You yelled, the sound muffled by the blankets around you. "What if he tries to kidnap me?"
"We both know that's not going to happen." Lovino sighed.
"He thinks I'm a prostitute!"
"What does that have to do with anything? Being a prostitute is no reason to kidnap people!" Lovino yelled back at you. "You already missed 4 days, how much longer are you going to avoid him? He hasn't been at school either you know."

You jumped in surprise and nervously turned to see Japan walking into the room, from another part of the house. He had a stern expression on his face. And in his hand...A bamboo cane. Your eyes widened at the sight of the horrid device. You'd been threatened with it, several times before, but never actually punished with it. Now, seeing it in your father's hands...that threat was a bit more serious.
"P-Papa! Uh...K-Kon'nichiwa." You laughed nervously. "It's a bit early for you to be awake, isn't it?"

It was a warm, summer day at Britain's house. Arthur was doing some paperwork while you were enjoying the nice weather by playing outside with your two, adopted brothers, Alfred and Mathew. They had been living with Arthur longer than you, but being the same age made it easy for the three of you to accept each other. Mathew was pretty calm and quiet, so the two of you usually got along quite nicely. Alfred, however, was a different story. He was always yelling and calling himself 'the hero' all the time...It easily pissed you off. But that never stopped you from playing with

You could see him, even though no one else could. You know what he's been through, but all the credit is given to Britain. He's your hero, but his brother is already self proclaimed. His own mother nations can't see him even after all he's done for them. America will waltz in and suddenly he's proclaimed the hero, only because he became fed up with the Germany, not because he was going to support his mother country.
His own brother has tried to take him over, more than once. The fear never left his mind. Russia had owned a part of him at one time, now his brother does. He can't even call it part of him anymore. Another part of him wants to l

"Rejected?"
The fat, pig-nosed, cigar smoking man sitting behind the opposite side of the desk, stared at the other man sternly. "Did you not understand me the first time, kid?" the fat man barked, dragging out each syllable, with smoke pouring out of this mouth each time he opened it. "Your story has been rejected. Good day." he said, pointing his cigar toward the door. Ben MacRadtner was stunned. This was the eighth time he had been in this pig's office, and every time it was a different type of criticism. And now the entire story had been rejected. Six months of sitting behind a computer screen, stabbing pencils into the side of his head out of frustration, for absolutely nothing. Ben sat up slowly, picking his backpack up off of the ground as he did so. He headed towards the door, and suddenly turned back around. "Piss off." Ben spat and slammed the glass door behind him. He stormed out of the office, flipping off the

It is colder then it should be which means a slow day. Something about cool weather and sandwiches somehow don’t mix it seems. I walk into work, round the corner to the back and punch in. My boss yells at me from the backroom and waves goodbye while saying something. The words are lost over the cooler that should have been fixed months ago. The mechanical noises it produces when it turns on starts to sound like a robot orgy gone wrong. All alone now with no customers or more pressing matters, I start cleaning up some of the mess on the counter. My mind begins to wander.

The Pressure of LoveThe turmoil grows, conflict raging within me.The Pressure of Love3 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
Should I succumb to its majesty,
or shun its inevitable pain?
Why risk love's bittersweet knife,
When you can hide behind a friend's ways?
All that I'm told about love is loss and longing!
What's all this fuss about, 'us,' and, 'belonging?'
"It is better to have loved and lost,
than to never have loved at all."
Are you telling me you'd rather I suffer the cost,
than dodge the bullet of being enthralled?
The social, 'norm,' of monogamy,
is it simply a ploy to entrap the lives we lead?
Don't suffer due to the influence of others,
who insist on all becoming mothers and fathers.

They laugh and play with them for only a little while, their toys are their friends.
And yet,
As they grow, they toss aside those possessions that they once held so dear.
But are we different from children?
One would like to think so, but we aren’t.
We toss away things once so precious, and pine for them when they are far from our grasp.
Adults like to say they change, but they never do.
If they were spoiled children who took their toys for granted, they will forever be the same.
Of course, they’ll never admit it.
They’ll never admit that they toss friends and family away just like cast

Secret PlaceI have a secret place, a place where no one but I can go. It's hidden away, between my ears, safe and sound from the horrors of the real world. I use it to escape, to shield my inner child. It's a place where the grass is always a lush spring green and the hills roll. The trees are stocky with warm, red leafs and rich brown bark. There's a small creak running through the meadow, always babbling sweet melodies to the assortment of beautiful wild flowers. The wind is soft and whispers secrets to me as it brushes past. The sun is bright during the days and sends warm streams of golden light down on me as I run, hop, skip, and play. During the niSecret Place4 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

For how long have they hurt you
Do you fight back when they shove you to the ground?
Punch you in the stomach,
Kick your face to the ground
Now, close your eyes and go to another place
Staying silent,
Never letting them get any pleasure from your pain
Hoping it'll be over soon,
Praying that in will end,
You will soon be safe and sound.
Going home beaten and bruised,
"I just fell" or,
"I'll be fine, it's not a big deal."
It can be physical
Maybe even verbal
Screamed at,
Talked down,
Always being belittled.
Freak, idiot, sadist,
Told you are absolutely nothing

A Pokemon Center is under construction, and a small oasis lies in the center of town, from an underground aquifer.
