I sat on the washing machine as I gently ran my sharp lead pencil on the last page of my sketch book.
“I can’t believe that Mr. Volt is really dead” my mother said out of the blue. “First it was Jack’s brother then it was that hag’s troublesome son then little Aki tried to kill himself now it’s Mr. Volt.
I felt my body go tense as I tried to ignore her.
“The worse part of this is that he was ambushed inside his apartment, imagine if the children were around or Mrs. Shem what could have happened to them?” she said giving me a glance.
“Aren’t there any baskets to deliver today?” I asked in effort to change the subject.
“Oh no daughter not today” she replied while handing a thin man his basket.
Suddenly the door clicked open as my heart pounded faster.
“Apple my child” my mother said out loud in joy. “A

FILLING THE VOID“Are you going to eat that food or you’ll keep torturing it like that?” my mother asked with her eyes on me.Plot cleared his throat then said, “Yesterday the police found a car just around the corner burnt and it’s believed two people were inside in fact they were locked inside then burnt to death”“Oh my god, who could be so evil to do such a thing?” my mother exclaimed.“My gun also went missing a day ago” added Plot.The spoon from my hand dropped inside the bowl as I pushed my chair back then got up.“I have to go finish my project with Apple” I lied as I headed for the front door.“Be back before dark!” she yelled just as I shut the door behind me.I walked down the crowded 33 street with my body feeling numb. I had just killed Sophie and Ten but I felt nothing. Was I losing emotions or what?The old door slowly slid open revealing the dirt inside the small room that had become my nightmare

THE TAPEI blow the dust off the old computer which was before me.“It’s a little dirty around here I hope you don’t mind” Marcus said with a little laughter.If unwashed dishes with cockroaches on the floor and table, old bicycles parts on the floor, spider webs around the table and corners, thousand mattresses, blankets on the floor and over ten teenagers smoking cocaine, cigarettes and playing dices on the floor was little dirt.“It’s cool” I replied as I took a seat on the old leather chair.“Is it comfortable? I picked it for you” he said with a smile on his face.“Yeah it is” I quickly said in effort to dismiss him.“Well I’ll be going, if you need anything just shout I’ll be outside” he said.I nodded dumbly. He let out a smile then went out.“It’s now or never Siren” I said softly as I swit

A YEAR LATERNEW FRUITSI slowly peeled my heavy eyes open and the sight of blood running down my legs caught my eyes. The huge black rats creeping from the thousand packed boxes before me started crawling toward me. A sudden sharp pain from my feet caught my attention.The terrible bites wounds, which I was sure were from the rats had turned green-ish and purple. “Aah” a sharp groan escaped my lips while reaching for my legs with my trembling hands. Slowly and carefully I dragged my aching body to sit upright.The huge steel door before me suddenly flew open and tears involuntarily started rolling down my eyes. “No! No! No!” I yelled dragging my body into a corner.His red coat dragging on the dry blood of the young child lying in the corner got me crawling on the wall behind me. Even though I knew I could never ripe the wall apart I still dug my hands through it, without caring about my na

AWAKING MY DEMONSThe warm breeze blew my face as I turned to Eight beside me. His tiny hands held on mine tightly. “You scared?” I asked.“A little” he replied.“You don’t have to be, everyone in creche will like you” I assured him.A smile appeared on his face. “Plus, you’ll be playing swings, ball and a lot of toys”“Mr. Frog loves balls”“Well there are lot of balls in the creche”“That sound fun, right Mr. Frog?”We crossed the quiet Jilo Street, heading to the building before us painted in numerous colors and children outside the playground. “We are here”I noticed his baby blue eyes had widen. We walked toward the gate. A young woman with curly red hair was already standing near the gate taking children from their parents.“Sister Nina!” Eight exclaimed running into the red-haired woman’s arms. “Eigh...” I tried to yell but he was already in her arms.“OH, my you’ve grown up! “she s

HENDRICK’S POSSESSION I pushed the door behind me close as I rested my back on it. Gasps escaped my mouth and Kalo seemed to see that I wasn’t okay. He wasn’t crying anymore. “Mama,” reaching her hand to my face.“Hey,” I softly said forcing out a smile, staring at the precious creature before me. I could have had mine, he could have been seven years old by now. Maybe he was a girl? But a boy was going to be better. At least he wouldn’t have to suffer like I was. He would have huge body, able to protect himself along with his friends. The world would be a little gentle with him. All these thoughts flooded in my head.The loud yells rapidly pulled me from my wild thoughts. I rapidly shifted my eyes up. The sight of men seated on couches and chairs watching soccer caught my eyes. Hendrik emerged from the kitchen carrying beers.He headed each men a beer, then shifted his eyes on me. “Yo

HAUNTING PASTI slowly pulled my sweater from the floor and wore it. Carefully I reached my feet on the floor making sure I don’t wake the bald man who was fast asleep.I carefully walked over the unwashed clothes scattered on the floor. I stooped picking up the old leather jacket, which belonged to Junior. I ran my hands inside each pocket, luckily I found a few bank notes inside. I slid each out and slid them at the back of my Jean’s pocket.He slowly turned his face toward me still with his eyes closed, and snoring at the top of the game. I felt the my whole body turn numb. Luckily, he didn’t get up. I slowly placed his jacket back on the floor then picked up my sandals which were a few distance from me, heading for the open door before me.I walked inside the tiny sitting room which felt hollow. Even Hendrik’s apartment was way better than what I was seeing. There were only two couches at the center and a woode

MY MISSION“Listen Siren I’m not going to force you to go back home but I know that your mother loves you and would do anything for you to come back home,” Geno's words echoed in my head.Hendrik ‘s violent kiss on my neck is what brought me back to the real world.“What’s wrong with you? Where is your energy?” he asked pulling the tray of cocaine he had prepared from the drawer beside our bed. “Here, this will definitely help you relax.”I slowly reached my hand toward the tray. “Go on,”I Hesitated to take the tray of cocaine from his hand. Knowing I had to sniff that thing down my nose was driving me crazy, it wasn’t because I was afraid to drugs like Tydo had once said, but it was the fact that I would wake up not knowing anything that had happened the following day. And that didn’t sit well with me.“Rin now,” he demanded, taking a sip on the beer. I noticed that his green eyes had turned red and I knew v

LIVING THROUGH PAINLight switched on revealing Jin's face, behind him stood Ten with a sharp knife on my little brother’s delicate neck.“Siren, save me,” he cried.“Please don’t!” I yelled running toward him.“Too late,” Ten spoke in Toll's voice.Blood gushed onto the air setting me back to the real world.My wide-open eyes raced around every corner of the familiar room I was in. Tiny footsteps echoed in the passage before Eight appeared from the door.“Rin!” he yelled climbing the old bed I was on. His small hands clung around my waist which was aching. “umm,” a groan slipped from my lips, while I brushed the little boy’s neat hair.“We had pizza at Sister Rosie’s house!” he barged.So that was where they had been. With Rosie, the red-haired woman who I had met in the Shinny crèche.“Why didn’t you come with us?” moving his hand away from my chest.His face had fell and the positive energy he had

MY ARTThe smoke slowl skid out my lips which were pressed into a thin line. Their eyes seemed to move with me as they passed by. “Hi pretty,” a black haired man said passing by.After that sentence I felt my stomach hurt. It was just disgusting for someone as old as Plot to make that remark, especially to someone who was young enough to be his daughter. Something about his eyes seemed shady.The footsteps approaching caught my attention as the cigarette on my hand dropped on the ground. It had to be him, Jack.A familiar face appeared instead of Jack. “shit,” I mumbled pulling my hoodie up.“Siren, what are you doing out here so late?” she asked, almost pulling out her pistol from her coat.Shit April had just saw me.

A woman walked pass we me almost knocking me down. “Aah,”“I sorry,” she said picking up one of my crutches that had fell on the floor.“I am fin,” I replied that us when I recognized her.Long nevy black hair, eyeshadow and a red lipstick. She wore a shirt red dress, revealing her tiny thighs. “lola,”Her eyes widen. “Sister Siren,”“You okay,” I asked reaching my hand to her small face, which I recognized had a few bruises.The broken lip was what caught my eye. She jerked back with tears gathered in her eyes.“I am sorry?” before running up the stairs.I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces.

LET ME SAVE YOUWe stared at the view of the Mino city. “it’s been long since we sat here,” I began.“Yeah,”I turned to face her. “Are you really getting married?” I asked in a more serious tone.I noticed her face turning pale. “You don’t want to, do you?”“I have to go,”I held her hand. “please get me down,”“Apple, I can help you,”Tears gathered her eyes. “How? How can you help me Siren?”Her voice sounded sad and hurt at the same time.“How can you help me if my grandfather has already arranged a marriage for me? A marriage with a man don’t even know?”My eyes widen. “Let run away,” my voice came out unclear.“Run away?” she asked.“Yeah, let run away from Mino city let go far away,”“How abo

CLOSURE I stared at my mother who was folding the few clothes in their baskets.“Can I take a break?” I asked.“You can eat here,” she replied handing me my lunch box.“I mean outside,”She rose an eyebrow.“I won’t be long. Please.”She let out a sigh. “One of the girls will go with you,”“No, I will be fine on my own. You don’t have to worry about me, plus I am healing,”“Fine, but two minutes,”I smiled shortly as I got up.“Two minutes,”“Yes mother,”I walked out the crowded shop. I leaned against the wall as I slid my hand in my jacket’s pocket. I came out with a cigarette and lighter.Slowly I burnt it but as I slipped it inside my mouth. The scent of smoke filled my nose. I rested my head on the wall as I stared at the blue sky.I

I slowly forced myself up. Crazy enough my body didn’t feel that aching anymore.I took baby steps heading to the door. I pulled the door open and walked inside the dark sitting room. The memories of Jin running around the sitting room while pulling my long skirt flashed in my mind.I quickly shook that memory off my head as I walked to the balcony.Cold wind blew my hair as I stared at the k-building which was a few meters from the L-building I was in.My eyes rushed at every corner of the flat window visible to my eyes, but there was no sign of her.“Sh

HUNT MESMICK’S KILLERSI stared at the wrecked up door before me. I took one last breath before slowly moving my hand to it. I knocked twice then waited. The laughter inside caught my ear. as I knocked again.I heard footstep approaching the door as my body started sweating. What was I doing? Why was I here? What was I going to say to him?He pulled the door open as his face appeared. “Siren,” he said in pure shock.“Hi,” I nervously said forcing out a smile. “Can I come in?”“Sure, yeah please,” opening the door for me.I walked pass him as the cigarette smoke entered my nose. The sight of most in the room created by the smoke caught my attention not that I minded. “The bandages, they are gone,”“I got them removed yesterday,” I replied walking toward the couches which I recognized were occupied.Three familiar faces caught my attent

I stared at the flying moth that was going round and round the light bulb. “If it wasn’t ’for that boy my daughter wouldn’t be here,” my mother said from the other side of the room.“Yeah, I sometimes wish I could see him, but the nurses said he never mentioned his name, he only dropped her near the hospital gate ,” Plot replied.“Do you think he was one of the kidnappers?” my mother asked.“I doubt,”I sat upright avoiding trying to ignore their conversation. My eyes stared at the smaller dresser which was a few meters from. The broken mirror with few photographs reminded of the day she broke it. How angry she had been that day and how much she had regretted breaking it. Her leg moved out the duvet cover. She placed it in the floor. Slowly she walked toward it using the bed for balance.Crutches were starting to ignore her. She needed to get back to her feet. She still had unfinishe

DRAINED OUT!I sat on one of the few chairs on the balcony, with my eyes on the building before me. I slowly puffed out smoke from my mouth. Yep, I hadn’t stopped smokingThere she was, walking around her room carrying a basket. It was Apple, Apple Sun. It seemed like more than a year had passed since we had stood in this balcony together. How much amazed she was that day to see the view to her bedroom. “So you always see me?” he had asked.Before I knew it my mind was digging into the memory where she was dancing. How perfect her steps and turns had been. She had looked like a princess in a fairy tale. A true perfection. I still wondered why she never entered dome dance competition since she was really good in dancing, guess I too could draw but had never entered any drawing competitions let alone a competition of any sort.Maybe her dancing was the same as my drawing talent. I found my mind digg

THEIR LOVEClosed my eyes as I listened to the number of nurses unwrapping my bandages body. “We are don,” one of the nurses with long brunette hair.I slowly opened my eyes as the door before me opened. My mother’s eyes widen as she stared at me.“Mum,” I softly said.Tears ran down her cheeks as I felt the other nurses help me put on the loose shirt that Plot had borrowed me.She’s healed very fast,” the other nurse with blonde hair stated, handing me a mirror.I stared at my scared face that was healing slowly. It looked better than I had hoped.Plot also walked inside. “We’ll leave you all,” the nurse with brunette hair said before her and the other nurses walked out.“Siren,” Plot said walking toward me.He sat at the edge of the bed. “You…”“Look beautiful,” my mother finished his sen
