The Dying Rose

by Saoirse

One day I saw a Rose, but no ordinary Rose, this one was special. Its smell was exquisite, its color so vibrant, and yet, something didn’t feel right. “Oh, this is silly. It’s just a Rose!” Or so I thought. Puzzlement grew as I sat there staring at this…this…Rose. What made it seem so different? Then, an idea crept in my mind…”Take a picture of it using Google Lens!” So, I opened my phone, clicked on the app, and took my picture. I didn’t know what I thought I’d uncover or even find about something as normal as a Rose. My phone was taking such a long time to show me anything, which caused some trepidation from within. Soon, words appeared on my screen, “The most beautiful part of the rose is the moment it begins to fall apart. “ This time I felt even stranger… then… “Where’s my finger?”

The Evil Upon Us

by TiffTiff

Nash began barking and growling but nobody was there, that Drew could see. He pulled Nash, "come on buddy, we need to get home." Nash stood still and growled. Drew, getting frustrated, tugged the leash. The shadow snickered as another showed up behind him. Drew growled "I swear to god...." it wasn't until he looked up that he seen a figure dressed in all black, no face was seen, but it looked like red glowing red flashlights were prominent on the creature. Drew and Nash backed away continued to walk past, Nash watching the creature, until they made it back home. He ran in, locked the door and called his mom. She listened and then after a while groaned "You got angry again, didn't you?"

H.O.R.S.E (Helping others realize satisfaction exists

by Hitalot2238

Lift high the American dream Satan has fostered an evil scheme Away from traffic close affair How you fought hard & fierce A challenge to be free is a question of time My one solution is using my mind Living on the edge and it’s going to my head Sitting up at night alone in bed Following a rainbow to the sky I see a vision of you pass me by As I look into your eyes !!! It is then I see your future Come to the tropics alone As if a dog was without a bone A long way from home !!!
