I. The Nursery

Ember lived in her nursery for the next few months, only being let out occasionally to go to the toilet. All she saw were the four walls around her but it wasn’t all bad.
The room was painted a pretty sky-blue and the carpet was thick, fluffy and a deep midnight blue. There was a bed and a huge white wardrobe with the most beautiful, old-fashioned clothes inside.
Rich velvets cloaks, soft fur stoles, bright silk dresses, every item of clothing needed to make a young lady of society look beautiful.
But Ember was not a young lady of society living in Victorian times. She was a...

    “Damien, I’m sorry,” his smooth voice said in my ear. I couldn’t face him. He had kicked me out, why would he be here? To apologize? It was a nice gesture, but it crippled me just to see him.
    “I don’t believe you,” my voice was shaking. Tears kept streaming down my face.
    “Listen,” he crept down the side of my face.
    “No, you listen to me,” I said turning over to face him. Our faces were all of three inches apart. “You killed me! Now you expect to come in here, apologize, and I’ll...

I was outside. It was hot and sunny. About summer time, I was guessing. Beside of me set an old room. It was in ruins. I studied it for a moment, and then it hit me.
    The room was the one I had been in when I put the knife through my heart. I walked over to it, and ran my hand over the charred remains.
    It started to rain, sprinkling at first, and then it became harder. I took shelter in the room, half of the roof still stood.
    The sun was in the eastern part of the sky, and it was raining in the west. I saw a rainbow emerging...

Jamming to Lady Gaga's Telephone on my CD player I repeated the words over Beyonce' and Gaga's singing.

Casey

I’m so excited for my date with Carl. My hair is curled (Matthew said it looked pretty that way at the wedding.), I’m wearing a silver tank top that sparkles with all the sequins, and a pair of dark colored skinny jeans. Normally I don’t go for the whole sparkly look, but I thought it would be fun for rock and bowl.

Everything is going great, when all of sudden the lights go off and rock and bowl begins. Carl gets up and asks me to come with him to get something to eat. The next thing I know he’s shoved me into a small storage closet and there’s a knife pointed...

Shaun

I'm not sure why it had to be me. If I'm really honest with you, I hated myself.

I was fourteen when my parents died. I had no family left, so I became the unwanted foster kid.

I didn't want to have to think, or care about anything. I wanted to die.

I wanted to be an inconvenience to the world. I wanted them to know how much I hated them for having their own happy lives. I shunned everyone.

I became the loner.

I look out of place, somehow. I'm the kid who's taller than the other sophomores by a head. The kid with coal black eyes.

The foster parents I was living with now tried. They tried,...

Someone once told me,

"Being a writer is like being a prostitute, really. At first you're only doing it for yourself, then you decide to tell a few friends, let them in on the action, then you decide to let a couple strangers in, pretty soon you're welcoming the entire world."

Such a very accurate quote. When I heard this, I was at a very formal luncheon with a few kids from my journalism class in which we produced the school's newspaper: The Jagged Edge. It was an awards ceremony for individual work as well as our newspaper as a whole to be recognized. Granted, it was a local newspaper that...

“Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”


I’m so sorry, Jimmy. I know I’m letting you down. You wanted me to dream big, live big, and be great. I’ve done none of that. I’ve settled for ordinary. I’ve given up on my dreams. I’ve all but stopped living. I don’t know how it happened. Time’s just been flying by, and I don’t know how the days have managed to slip past me so many times without my notice. Before I know it, I’ll be twenty-four, the age you were at your death. Who knows if I’ll get much more than that, or if I’ll even get that far?...

It has been 10 years since she learned how to be a real warrior. She had straight, long, golden hair instead of curly goldilocks like when she was 8. She had blue eyes that could be the ocean. And her skin was so fair she could be snow white. Except Snow White wasn’t like Allyson. She was more rough than she was. She finally needed to know. “ Master light. I must speak to my parents,” she said. “You cannot,” master light said. “ Why not?,” Allyson, now asked. “Red star. The prophecy has come. You must know. All of the youngins must know once they turn 18. But first you must...

Part one
The hurt
The phone line was cut. Her last words where her own name. Iza Reffile. I sat there and put my head in my hands. A hand patted my back there was an explosion some where off in the distance. I believe she had a little time left and I hope we found her soon.
“It’s going to be fine. She is going to be fine.” Someone said to me.” I nodded and get up.
I cannot believe I’m losing the one thing I have left besides my baby which Katniss was protecting. We all dismiss from the phone and I walk up to Katniss.
“Alright Katniss I think she would want me to have the baby now you...

Now that you have converted some of your favourite PDF files to ePub using Calibre, Doremisoft link or some other applications available which you want to read on your iPhone, but still you can't find an effective way to do it. Would it be a complicated process?

It is quite easy for us to read ePub on iPad via the free iBook application that announced in conjunction with iPad, Besides, with the launch of iOS 4.0 on June 21, 2010, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and the second and...

I was sitting in my hotel room minding my own business reading a book when all of a sudden the glass window doors flew open. The bed room was dimly lit and the sun had completely gone down leaving no sunlight to light the room.

I fell off my bed leaving my bed in between me and the window. I would have gotten up to shut the window doors but that was before a figure entered the opening.

There was enough of a shadow cast over the body that you couldn't make out any features. But I could tell that it was a man. He stood with a sturdy pose his legs locked in place, his arms on his hips, his head...
