Follow the Rules
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. That didn't seem like nearly enough rules, if you asked me. But no one ever did. What could a child know that the adults did not?

Influenced. Runner-Up in Pitch Your Pilot Challenge.
As a bleeding heart, I have a love-hate relationship with comedy. I absolutely love to laugh, but so much “comedy” rests on either stereotypes, physical injuries or embarrassment, or self-deprecation.

Useless
Years of hard work and dedication destroyed in an instant. Every repeated mantra, “I am worthy, I am enough,” a lie. All the trauma I worked through.

The Columbus Paradox
2130 Eve sat alone in a dimly-lit room, finalizing the paperwork for her latest debriefing. Her task had been a simple one: cover up an atrocity in history to preserve the timeline.

Haunting Adventures
In an abandoned ghost town, Where once an asylum defiled, Child me is stranded all alone, In a land now overrun and wild.

Scratching in the Walls
I jolt awake, mind foggy in protest, My heart thudding loud and wild inside my chest, The sound of scratching and a writhing silhouette, Fills my soul with a dread I'll never forget.

Perspective
In the distance, far an easy feat, but draw close, look up—reality

Zero
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was the last time I ever lit a candle, but the memory of that night was still so visceral, sometimes I wondered if the tiny flame had burned my soul, and my scarred memory was the invisible damage that would never heal. Never be smooth, and soft, and free from pain.

Dragons in the Valley
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. To my knowledge, there weren’t always dragons on earth at all, but certainly not in my valley.
