Sarah's ChoiceMy parent’s yelling stabbed through my sleep, leaving a small crack and forcing it open. I was still tired, my mind was now awakened, but I couldn’t do anything to make it go back to sleep. Before I could open my eyes, I processed what was happening.

"Could you ask your brothers to come here please. We all have something very important to discuss."
"Sure. Be right back." Dashing out of the dojo, Rachel headed to the living room where her brothers were. "Splinter want us in the dojo." Leo and Raph were sparring "Leo, Raph, you know you're not supposed to spar outside the dojo."
"Yeah but Splinter was meditating." Leo said as he blocked another hit from Raph.
"Can it Ray. We won't break any

StandstillWhat's a wandering spirit to do, but do what he knows? There isn't much that I can do, I know my strength only in part. My life I have forgotten, save only for what my hands know, and continue to do.Standstill7 hours ago in Short Stories More Like This
The foods that I prepare are "Good enough." "Pass." "Crap." "Gruel." "Lacking taste." "Bland." And an assortment of other things.
Everyone has their place, and mine is hardly on the battlefield. I know that I am a cook. I can prepare sustenance as that is what I know. I have never held a blade meant for cleaving live flesh; only dead. This I know from the trembling and shaking in my hands whenever we face a cursed and damned demon.

New Day chapter 1A young teenaged man by the age of 14 woke up that morning to go off to school. “Well,” he thought as he sat up in bed, “Off to my first day of 10th grade. Hope nothing goes wrong.” He then stood up and went over to his dresser to pull out a t-shirt, then went over to his closet and looked on the hangers with several different pairs of blue jeans.

Matthew woke up to the sound of quiet crying. It was coming from his children's nursery.
