The Girl with the Blue Backpack
As she walked along the dissembled remains of a broken road in shades of bright green moss that filled the cracks of broken cement, she felt alone. There were abandoned cars and that were parallel, vertically and horizontally parked on the remains of a broken road. Most of the remains of what use to be a useable car were only the steel frames that had become rusted and disintegrated by the apocalypse. As she looked to her left and looked to her right there were veriest buildings, some that run all the way up to the sky. The windows of the buildings had been shattered and pieces of glass were scattered along the ground. Shops that were once functional had be run down by empty shelves and signs that were hanging by a thread. The city was empty except for the near distance growls of the undead lurking within the shades and around ever corner. As a survivor of this unpleasant world she always had a dagger firmly placed within her boot and her hand hovering over it every time she heard the scratching noises that gave you goose bumps and radiated through each cell of your body. Each time she saw the disfigured face of a once lively human being she felt more and more alone. Her father died in a car accident when she was six years old. Her mother was a gentle woman that had a firm belief in righteousness and morals. She was a strong woman, a confident woman, a brave woman that took risks and she tried to maintain these qualities every day. But she died only three months ago by a savage attack when they were cornered and overwhelmed by a heard of the undead as they were gathering supplies, she sacrificed herself so that she could live. That burden weighed heavily on her shoulders everyday, the regret that maybe she could have done something else and the burden of being alone without her mother. She didn’t have any brothers or sisters, only her blue backpack that carried her supplies. She looked to the sky and hoped that her mother was watching over her somewhere in the mist of clouds that shimmered and moved each time the sun tried to peer through. The sky was a warm orange mixed with shades of red. Since the apocalypse happened the sky has always resembled the same colours, they have never changed. Maybe it was sign that the world has ended. There was still smoke rising from buildings, coming from chimney tops and from abandoned buildings that were charcoal and filled with ash and soot.

Silenced Genes
School was dismissed just after 11 o'clock. Sirens were blaring as the students were boarding the buses; a fire truck and a couple of police cruisers pulled up to the high school with an ambulance close behind. Many of the students were craning to see out the grimy windows, but the bus pulled away as soon as the last student was on board. Ricky and Mack weren't concerned, they figured someone just set off a fire alarm smoking in a bathroom or something equally as stupid. Other students were panicking, some even crying, while many were posting updates on social media, texting wildly or even calling their parents. Ricky watched the commotion, he thought it was all over reacting nonsense. He and Mack made eye contact, Ricky shrugged. Mack looked back down at his phone slowly shaking his head in bewilderment.

The Werewolf Diaries
Page 1 ONE I’D ALWAYS WELCOMED WAR, BUT IN BATTLE my passion rose unbidden. The bear’s roar filled my ears. Its hot breath assaulted my nostrils, fueling my bloodlust. Behind me I could hear the boy’s ragged gasp. The desperate sound made my nails dig into the earth. I snarled at the larger predator again, daring it to try to get past me.

Alexander and the talking tree.
By the time Iskander had finished his journey, dusk had fallen and the speaking tree had transformed into a lady. Iskander never fully understood the allure of the female sex, as far as he was concerned they lacked the strength and raw vitality of men.
