Just not againJapan smiled at a certain blonde personification of the U.S.A. It was rare for to see that determined yet enjoying expression on the superpower's face. "GO! America-kun! You can do it!" enthusiastically cheered the short, dark-haired man. The American heard his Asian friend and gave a thumbs up. For once after a long while, Japan was having fun watching his fellow personifications race against each other in the Boston Marathon. Finally, just as America was about to cross that finish line and claim first prize again, something loud erupted and knocked down the childishly laughing nation. Other nations were also sprawled on the floor, along with their fellow humans; then the crowd noticed the loud puff of smoke. As soon as horrifying realization punched all of them, another loud BOOM! went off...----Somehow, through the panic and chaos ensuing at the Marathon, Japan and some other nations and humans were able to haul many on stretchers, wheelchairs, and anything tha
Take Off Your Mask (HeixReader)Take Off Your MaskHeixReader Running. They were chasing you. Nothing else passed through your mind other than to run. Run. Your footsteps were heavy and your breathing was ragged. They would catch you. So, you stopped. Turning to face them, you saw it was only one man. The Black Reaper. Crossing your arms defensively over your face, you prepared yourself for death. You heard the air around you move as he jumped behind you. There was a sharp pain in your neck, then everything was black. No, everything was darker than black.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Groaning, you sat up
Prompt One: Father And SonVegeta searched desperately for his son, throwing aside the debris created by the large explosion."Trunks!" he yelled out.His search finally yielded a result. A torn and bloodied white gloved hand appeared amongst the rubble. He dug furiously, freeing an arm, then a bloody shoulder then his head."Trunks!"The battered demi saiyan's eyelids fluttered open and he took a shallow rattling breath. Vegeta placed his own torn up gloved left hand on his son's face, startled by how cold he was."Trunks! What is it? What's wrong?"He quickly uncovered the rest of Trunk's body and gasped in shock.A large metal spike had punctured its way thro
Precious Times Together Ch 12"Taicho, isn't it about time for you to take a break?" asked his fukutaicho, Rangiku Matsumoto."I just ate lunch an hour ago, Matsumoto" Toshiro replied."No, taicho. I mean a real break…like maybe for a couple of days," clarified Rangiku."Why do you say that?" he asked."Well, you never seem to take any time off anymore," she said to him. "Other than sleeping in on mornings after you were here late, you are never not here." Ever since his last visit to the world of the living and his conversation with Karin Kurosaki, he's back to being the taicho he used to be. No breaks, no vacations, and no happiness."Matsumoto, what would

How Not to Tell a StoryAfter being on DeviantArt for a few years now, I've noticed patterns in people's stories. Patterns, that I can't say I've ever seen until I started using the internet. I believe that's because these kind of patterns are thoroughly unprofessional. The pattern in short is this:Character = victimPlot = bad things happening to said victimMaybe this sounds harsh. It's not if you understand that is ALL there is to these stories. They take any character, hurl them into a tragedy and that's it.Let's get this straight: We do not know your character well enough to care about them yet. No matter how bloody and gutty their injuries are, no matter
Love Letters On the TrainDear Stranger,I'm leaving this post-it tucked in the side of the train-seat. If you're reading this, you've seen it. I've seen you sit here every few Monday mornings, sometimes tapping a bent, unlit cigarette against your thigh, sipping from your tea (who brings a tea cup onto a train anyway?); sometimes staring at the rain outside, or reading your well-worn, beaten copy of Jane Eyre (I hate that you fold the corners down - it's bibliophilic abuse. I wish the book would papercut you to defend itself a little, but I digress).You seemed so sad this Monday morning past. Please smile again. I love it when your eyes catch the light of something
I Dub Thee...On the psychology and choosing of namesBrought to you by Super EditorMany authors struggle with names. After coming up with a character who perfectly fits his or her intended role, planning personality traits, clothing, hobbies, and physical descriptions, now you have to sum all of that character's being up in a name!There is an incredible number of ways to choose a name. Often authors are baffled by the vast array of first names and surnames that could be given to a character, and it's almost impossible to start. Whether you're hoping for a name that could belong to any girl on a street or a fantasy warrior from planet Xyla, there ar
SexWe don't have to do this now.We are still young.Not that I don't want you; I just don't know how.The passion takes over youLike a flame consumes wood.I'm just scared. Nothing ever went through.It's not that I want to be nun.The least you can do is have something on.Yes, that was a pun.My body begins to quakeAs you lean into me.I hope this is all a dream, so I may wake.I'm not ready for this.Think about our future.Let's leave it on our bucket list."Relax," you say.But I can't,Knowing I'll wake up pregnant one day!Please. Save it till we wed.Then, maybe. Just maybe.Our anticipation will end.
