"Ready?" I asked. Neither of us were.
Ruby nodded closing her eyes and turning her head away. I shoved the knife into her hip and sliced.
She screamed.
I twisted and pulled out a tiny microchip. I handed Ruby a rag to cover the wound, clenching the chip between my blood-soaked fingers.
The red in her eyes was slowly changing back to an icy shade of blue. Her canines retracted back into her gums. She looked at the chip, disgusted.
"ID2020." she scoffed, tossing it on the cement and smashing it under her boot.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Persephone's Porch
"Circe, for Chrissakes, put Cerberus on his leash to keep him off the porch. I don't need him dragging three sets of drooling jowls across it when the nymphs just cleaned." Persephone pulled her blonde hair back and tied it in a loose knot to keep it off her face. "I can't believe Hermes is bringing the whole famdamnily."

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
