The door was rusted closed. That was the first thing he noticed when he arrived. He couldn’t get in. The door was rusted. It had been years since he even thought about the old stories that his family used to tell him as a child. That he would grow up to become the hero that saved Shuggazoom. That he got the second chance at childhood in the days and weeks following the final battle. It was just a story, but the way his parents spoke, it felt real. It felt true. It felt right. He was sixteen. His parents were at work. For the first time, he had skipped school to go exploring in the old side of the city, which had been mostly destroyed during the battle that had wiped out half of the population. He knew he shouldn’t be in the old city. It was illegal to even enter, mostly because it was so dilapidated and destroyed and safety couldn’t be assured. But he felt like he needed to be there. He had this feeling that he had to explore, to discover what exactly happened here. He couldn’t

Six Months
Antauri meditated in the park, surrounded by loving families, relishing the sound of children's laughter. Next to the silver monkey, the rest of the monkey team was play-fighting, just far enough away that they wouldn't kick him or disturb Jinmay, who was setting up their picnic lunch.
But nothing would have disturbed him at that moment, however. His mind was far away, searching for a beacon, a glimmer of hope.
He was searching for Chiro.
In the final moments of that last battle, but Antauri and Chiro had realized that it would take more than just a Monkey Fu to stop Skeleton Kin once and for all. Antauri was prepared to sacrifice his life

Remembering
So here I sit, all alone in my room, remembering the good times.
Remembering when my closest friends stood by me.
Remembering when my friends didn't glare at me.
Remembering when my friends never would attack me.
Remembering when those closest to me watched me vanish, hidden behind a mask of desperation, which still remains.
I can see the cracks that Kit, Charm, Aelia, and now Bera have put in that mask, slowly freeing myself of it.
But will I ever be the same as two years ago?
I highly doubt it.
My nightmares of that year still haunt me.
My memories of that time still crawl into my thoughts.
Hell, going to school every day is a maj

Imagine...
Imagine a world
without hypocrisy,
without sexism,
without homophobia.
Imagine a place
where what you say
is what you truly mean.
You don't hide behind
pretty words.
You speak your beliefs.
Lies are gone.
Imagine there is
no discrimination
between male
or female
or intersex
or anything in between.
No matter the gender
all do the same work.
Imagine a time
when two men
or two women
can finally share that special day
with their loved ones.
They can finally say their “I do's”.
They can show their love.
Imagine a world,
where peace is now
war is in the past.
People live and grow.
A world to truly strive for.
Imagine...

Escape.
That was why people played video games, right? To escape the real world?
It that's the case, then please sign me up. I need to escape.
I want a chance at a normal life, thank you very much.

I clicked sign up.
Name, username, password… those were easy to fill. Email? That might be a problem.
One of Dad's many rules was that I could only have the email he set up for me, and the one for my school. He had the passwords for both. Any time someone he didn't know emailed me, he flipped out. When I emailed a boy, he lost it.
With a glance over my shoulder, I created a second account on Gmail, one he would have no idea I made. I

Just Another Day
She could hear her father long before he even stepped into the house. Slamming and shouting, ranting and raving. Unconsciously, she slid her laptop closed and pulled her sheets up over it to hide it away.
“Is that your father?” Dana said from the cell phone, switched onto speaker. Her voice was filled with comfort and worry. “What did you do this time, Jaida?”
Jaida leaned back against the headboard with a groan. She held the phone close to her chest as she answered, “It’s Parent-Teacher Night, Danes. He’s talking to our teachers. What do you think? Of course he’s pissed.”
