The Voice In My Head
ARYA!
I look up, rapidly scanning the trees as my heart beat begins to accelerate, I hear leaves rustle in a tree and I know deep inside me it has nothing to do with air.
Breathing slowly I take careful steps towards the tree whose leaves keep rustling. To my shock I hear a laugh, so faint I almost didn't think about it, the tree leaves all move together this time confusing me and stopping me in my tracks.
Which tree was it? - @stellageorge

My Girlfriend is a Witch?
When our eyes met and she did notice I was there looking at her. She immediately left like a wild animal who saw a human being with a fearful expression. I left and wondered why so? I looked at my reflection in the water and asked myself.
"Am I that ugly?" - @mrnightmare.net

Whooo, my mom knew the wild-eyed woman’s name. Stranger and weirder, I felt my jaw drop and simply stared at the two of them.
“Maxine, you’ve broken your promises, stolen my son and destroyed my life. It’s about time that someone told the boy the truth, isn’t it?”
“Whose truth?” My mother looked pale but determined in the face of this accusation.
“You promised me…” The air seemed to drain, her puffed up stance dissipated. Fat tears squeezed down her cheeks, and she crumbled into a ball of sorrow before our eyes.- @itsostylish

Eden!
What followed was the sound of gushing water, chirping birds, and crickets. The air smelled fresh and rejuvenating. The rock split open completely to reveal a huge waterfall surrounded by the thickest and most evergreen vegetation I had ever seen. We saw all kinds of animals and flowers of different colors. It was everything. The special tree was the tree of knowledge.- @kei2

Mama's Shadow
Linden imagined a cannon from enemy pirates shooting at her Pop’s pirate boat. “YARRRR!” he would yell, shanking his sword in the air as his boat sank, his crew running around like mad.
“But… why didn’t he just sail to the U.K. with his pirate crew!?” Linden asked.
Mama lifted her head up. “What pirate crew?”
“The one Pop works ‘On Board’ with!”
“Linden, your father works ‘Abroad’, not ‘on board’ and he doesn’t have a pirate crew.” Mama fell back into her arms and cried harder, her body bouncing as she wailed.
Linden teared up. Pop couldn’t be gone! Not just like that! Not without saying goodbye. - @restcity

I kept sending messages and various data for a month, but there was no response. One night, I felt that someone wanted to tell me something. When I opened my eyes, I found myself on a new planet. It shocked me to see that this was the same blue planet. The people there were different in appearance. They had square eyes, long thin nails, and thick blue skin.
A few of them moved towards me, but there was no fear in my mind. There was no expression on their faces. The houses on that planet were made of blue semi-liquid gas. I put on my mask and I prepared myself to face them. - @samdove
