Words from Heart

  Chapter 6: The Scream of Starland I opened my eyes. My hair was floating; I was holding my breath. The burble, babble and gurgle sound echoed around, forming bubbles. I looked at my surroundings and saw nothing. There was only a prismatic light dance inside the fluid. I tried to move my feet, but they were stuck. I felt a cold sensation on my ankles. There was a type of rubber-liquid thing on them. It was also sucking my lower half as a whirlpool. Then an intense flux carried away the goo, revealing the beloved people of my life. My family… My dad, mum, Lily, and Danie… They were all positioned horizontally and tied to this ooze. I attempted to touch their unconscious faces; they were hardly inhaling. My vision was getting blurry, and my lungs were on fire. I had to break this bell glass encircling us. I slammed against it with my fists. Again, again, and again… But, I couldn't manage to do a scrape. Suddenly, a golden silhouette entered the top of the glass. It was bright as the...

Hearth of the Rose Far far away, beyond our galaxy, there was a kingdom. People of our land were calling it Emotia. It was a country full of wonders and possibilities. The tale I'm going to tell you today is one of these wonders, and it stayed covered in the nebula of history. A millennium ago, there lived a royal couple reigning over Emotia. Queen Venus the Enchantress and King Hephaestus the Wolf. There also was their only child, a beauty of a thousand diamonds, Princess Lovelonia.  Amiable she was, yet, the heart of an empty glass. She wandered from one place to another: To find someone to be together. All had she was reverence, but no acquaintance. It shuddered her heart that she couldn’t find a hearth, inside everyone. Destined was she to see a parade of masquerade, and there was no friend of a serenade. Her home was a prosperous ocean, but there was no emotion. She had material goods everybody wanted, yet, she was so daunted. Stuck was she in a sublime tower; below a solid dr...

  Recalling the Light Have you ever felt the coldness of failure? I bet you haven’t really because failing, again and again, is like being jabbed many times, but you have to stay awake. I was standing like meek prey before falling into the predator’s jaws. A huge building shaped like whipped cream was in front of me, and there was an hourglass emblem at the centre of it.  "Cronus," I murmured. My body trembled slightly at this name. Cronus… The beginning of our nightmares, the whisperer of our doom. Everything began when he deceived my nation in his campaigns. Just like many other politicians, he swore to bring a brighter future to our country. He looked very sincere at first; however, this changed once he won the elections. My country had enough problems already, and he made us regretful about our choice. In the 25th century, oil and gas reserves were considered nothing you know? We use better, cheaper energy. Our minds. Yes, our thought powers. We surf on imagi-net rather ...

  Chapter 4: Abyss of Dreams A colony of spider-bee monsters slammed against Shanya's barrier. They used their webs to block the firebombs and their sting to crack them up. Shanya tried her best to retain the defence, but she couldn't bear to proceed. The barrier chipped off. Shanya lost her balance and fell. A spider bee spun a web around her; she landed on it softly. Nelly and the other girls stood back to back, forming a circle. A lizardion (lizard-scorpion) monster released a numbing gas everywhere; however, Anny partially broke the effect of the gas with her fusion weapon. She had emitted a type of antidote. The bad thing was that even a minimal amount of this numbing gas could influence the body. Nelly, Anny, Julia, and Neesha fell onto their knees, unable to move any limbs. The only reason they stayed conscious was thanks to Anny's antidote. Some spider bees covered them with their slimy webs. One of the lizardions sent a signal via air. Then, a woman in leather appe...

  Chapter 5: Lessons, Lessons… The moon was hanging on the heavens, ornamenting the night like a silver necklace. It was in the last crescent phase and was heralding another month on the earth. It was dawn; the sun was about to rise. I woke up and stared at the clock. It showed 06.00 A.M. As if anticipating my awakening, Pineapple was lying at my bedside. I grabbed her water and food bowls, refreshing them, since I decided to feed her in my room rather than the cafeteria.  While my kitty was eating, I prepared myself and went outside the dorm. I headed towards the forest to visit Alyra. She was having a morning bath in the pond. Her feathers had amethyst shimmers in the twilight. She shook herself when I arrived there.  “Hi, Aly. Where are your friends?” I greeted her. She neighed quite mutely, approaching me. I extended my hand to her; however, she reacted quite unusually. Her wings shielded her as if I was a threat. "What's the matter, girl? Did I leave you in the wild ...

Rose Dust Life is not rose dust It breaks your heart, With a shutter of shock. Everything is knocked. Suffocating, every corner  Suffocating. The darkness engulfs us, Gashes the soul with scars, Capillary and seething. It's lumping inside when you're gnawing. Heart's growing heavier, than the Mariana trench. Mixed with the rose dust, dreams and the last clench. The clench that seeks.

  Chapter 3: Rakish Blob! Something was lightly soaking my face and chafing it. I gingerly opened my eyes; its purrs were getting louder. It was none other than my cat, Pineapple. I looked at the clock and sat up. It was six o’clock in the morning, Pineapple's feeding time. Except there was a  tiny detail: I forgot to take her emergency kitty pack from the capsule. I facepalmed. How could I miss a necessity like that? Pineapple was a predator, but she was a tamed one. She was relying on me for her care. I took the juniors' handbook from my desk and read the part about pets and plants in the dorms. The manual was stating that each student was allowed to have three living things. Also, these living creatures had to be suitable for the dorm environment. I finally found the feeding part in the rules. It was told that pets such as dogs and cats only could be fed before breakfast and dinner in the cafeteria. I rechecked the clock. It was six fifteen, which meant there was still some...
