The Wandering Gravestones and Beasts
The ground shook beneath his already unsteady feet, his balance was lost as he staggered, he was quickly flung down when something tugged at his feet violently. As he fell over, he could feel something metal and sharp wedge itself into his skull as his head hit the ground, forcing him to let out a loud scream that tragically couldn’t be heard over the sound of the ever approaching train. He tried to quickly get his hands firm on the ground to get himself back upright. His head was pulled away from the train track, and the metal piece slid out of the new gap made in his head and skull. His shaggy brown hair was now turning a dark red as blood trickled down his neck, and poured into his frightened jade green eyes.

The Day the Sun Went Out
It was a regular day in History class. Everyone was half asleep while the teacher droned on and on when we all knew he was watching the clock as closely as we were. I had taken off my hoodie an hour ago after the blazing sun was microwaving me to death. Back in High School, we didn’t have any heat and now in college, we have no air conditioning. It’s like I can’t win.
