The Train
A short horror--Throwing around a new genre
The screech comes from above us, louder than anything you could've ever imagined. We hear it 4 times a day, 7 days a week. It's the train. It crawls above our home and scratches my ears until they bleed. The sound of the monster is the main cause of death in the place I call "The Dungeon". People stab out their eyes, others' too. The pain never ends, and neither does the flow of blood. It is a incessant fountain.
A man dead here, a woman dead there.
Hundreds die a day.
Here comes the train, inching closer and closer.
It scratches my ears until they bleed and pokes my eyes until they pop. It scratches my ears until they bleed and pokes my eyes until they pop. It scratches my ears until they bleed and pokes my eyes until they pop.
"Or maybe that's just me." I think, as I put an end to my suffering.

False Hope
I tell myself over and over not to worry, that my grandma will be just fine. But the doctor says she has 5 days to live and can't have any visitors. I pray that God will keep her safe. Even though I believe in God, I'm still a kid who questions everything, so it's baffling to be praying to someone I can't see. He has shown me miracles in the past, I hope He shows me another.

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
