    The song used is actually a poem by William Butler Yeats. It’s called ‘Stolen Child’, and put to music by Loreena Mckennitt.

    Now, about this relating to real life…well, yes, someone in my family had been in a car accident. She survived, but we still feel its effects every day.

    Thanks for reading! : )

  2. On The Long Awaited Results of the Nostalgia Challenge:

    posted about 10 hours ago

    And because it wouldn’t fit in the ficlet, the character that is based off me in my series is Anastasia, the little girl who nearly drives Blaire crazy by making her think she didn’t survive the crash to the island. Yep. That’s how I was when I was small. XD

    I know that feeling really well. I look back at all the cartoons that I used to watch, and now I can see how easily I could understand them. I think that we all have moments like this. My sister and I still adore Scooby-Doo. : ) Thank you for entering, and sorry for taking so long to actually comment. DX

    Whoa…I certainly wasn’t expecting this. And I mean that in the best way possible – I love the creativity of the idea of doors, and the way you use second person. The doors will keep on opening, but it’s our duty to be strong for what’s hiding behind them. Great entry, and thanks for entering. : )

  14. On Residing Dreams (Chapter 26):

    posted about 1 month ago

    Words are the easiest things to bend, and it gets confusing most of the time. There might be another reason, but I actually doubt it. The story’s really realistic – it makes me really sad that there are people who treat others like this just because of that one difference that they have. The only thing I have to suggest is that you put spaces between your paragraphs. Again, great last line. Other than that, the writing’s great! : )

  15. On Residing Dreams (Chapter 25):

    There’s always one person who’ll be with you, and in this case, it sounds like McKenna. I liked the last line. It got me thinking.

  16. On Residing Dreams (Chapter 23):

    posted about 1 month ago

    Gosh, rumors can be so over-puffed-up that sometimes I just block out what everyone’s saying. Most of the time they’re ridiculous, and I should know a thing or two about rumors, the way my old school used to be. >_> The teachers never figure out anything, unless they’re keeping a close eye on the students…let’s see where this goes.

  17. On Residing Dreams (Chapter 21):

    posted about 1 month ago

    That’s the bad thing about having your father as the teacher; but obviously, those kids really aren’t friends. Real friends stick with you through thick and thin. Off to the sequel…

  18. On Tally [Jailbird Challenge]:

    posted about 1 month ago

    One thing…um…in this ficlet, the mother didn’t kill her children. Just thought I’d clear that up…oh, and the sequel doesn’t have anything to do with this. XD It was just inspired by the challenge, so I stuck it in there. : )

  19. On Solitary Confinement:

  20. On Long road home:

    That’s a wonderful start! It gave me such a great idea. I echo X-Ninja! Could I sequel? It’s got great potential, and the ending line just gave me chills that you usually get watching a good movie. XD

  21. On Tornadoes and Lightning:

    posted about 1 month ago

    Yeah, the car falling out of the sky, as crazy as it may seem, is completely fine if you’re in the middle of a tornado/hurricane. It actually rained frogs on London once. o.O Enough of that, but great continuation! I had a different idea of what would happen, though. Awesome ficlet. : )

  22. On Solitary Confinement:

  34. On Childhood Summer (Nostalgia Challenge):

    Boy, I can connect with this ficlet – especially the grass cutting part. That’s a wonderful memory; my mom always opens up the house in summer, and it’s something I always remember.

  50. On The Heart's War (Nostalgia Challenge):

    War can tear nations, people, friendships apart and take lives – the repercussions are scary to think about. Eutopia never lasts, but humans could make the period in which is reigns longer…but then again, we’re human, aren’t we? ‘Malice aforethought’ as my mother likes to say.

    I agree with Elsha. Pretty clean cut story – concise and in tune with the beginning. War does that to many people…in class, we learned about the Vietnam Syndrome…needless to say I was in a morose mood for days after. Thanks for entering! : )

    Certainly does. Poor Cricket, left in the dark. XD Now I gotta think! : )

  127. On Unbeleivable:

    posted 2 months ago

    Well, that’s certainly a shocker. After what…ten years, she just decides to contact him? And she’s in a fix…sounds interesting. I’d be happy and angry if that happened to me. But maybe she has a good reason for it. Nice series! : )

  128. On Everything Is Not Fine:

    Uh oh. What’s going on with Chloe? I guess we’ll find out in the sequel, when that arrives. I like the series so far. : )

  129. On Being Alone:

    posted 2 months ago

    Sometimes being alone is the most beneficial thing for yourself. No company can be strangely relieving. I think that was nicely pictured in the ficlet. Good job. : )

  130. On Shady Deaths Occur in Inclement Weather Too (Deduction challenge):

  134. On Dark and Stormy Party:

    Ooh…feeling the deep hatred right now…not for you, for Eve. I can’t see how anyone could be any more heartless – congratulations, you made me hate a fictional character. XD Great entry, though. : )

  137. On Relieving the Stress of Black Friday (starbucks challenge):

    posted 2 months ago

    And, Starbucks, yet again, serves as a haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life, that comes along with holidays and of course – shopping! A gift shop inside Starbucks actually doesn’t sound half bad. : )

  138. On Life Has to End Sometime With or Without a Heart:

    posted 2 months ago

    A well known situation…I’m glad there was at least a small piece of light – if that’s what it was. The populars are usually airheads that are way too puffed up for themselves… * sigh * The last paragraph caught me off guard. I wonder what’ll happen next.

  139. On Gone to Burn:

    That’s truly intense – the only way to describe it. The opening line really caught my attention. It drew me in. Off to the sequel…

  140. On It's Not Easy:

    posted 2 months ago

    Sounds like something I’d say when I was angry – lots of people have feelings like these everyday, and I like seeing it on paper. Er, screen. XD I like how several subjects are touched on. Nice job! : )

  141. On Romance Always Ends Ugly:

    posted 2 months ago

    Whoa. The title certainly does this little piece justice. A crazy fact – most sociopaths will look normal on the outside. That’s what makes killers creepy. Great ficlet!

  142. On cheese (infamous beginnings challenge):

    posted 2 months ago

    I agree with chakatreamentson! That’d be a huge appetite killer. I’m glad she got her appetite and hunger back, though. Motorcycles always make my day (if it’s someone sane riding them), as do good friends. Thanks for entering! : )

  143. On A worried mother:

    posted 2 months ago

    A normal interaction with a reaction that you’d get from any caring mother. Hopefully Kirsten will pull herself together – Oliver didn’t sound so hotshot anyway. XD Good job. : )

  144. On X Marks the Spot:

    posted 2 months ago

    Creepy stuff – in the good way, though. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to have a job like that. I especially liked the beginning, and the description about the dust. An abandoned town can be scarier than any multi – tentacled monster, in many ways. For one, the silence, like you mentioned. I gotta quit rambling. Great job anyways. : )

    A broken heart…what a sad ficlet, but well written. I’m off to the sequel!

  150. On Finding Comfort:

    posted 2 months ago

    Great little ficlet! Just the dialogue is going to make me check out the prequels. You can really find comfort in someone you’ve never met before, because they have an unbiased view of what’s going on…and, I’ll stop rambling now and click on the prequel. XD

  151. On Music:

    Sad. Touching. Unfortunately what some kids go through. Music can help a lot, though, and it seems to do just that with many. Good job. : )

  152. On Dream Lover:

    posted 2 months ago

    I just read the prequels, and I like the impending feeling of danger you’ve both captured. Thankfully, she awoke in her bed before anything could happen. And hopefully, her day will get better from here on in. Great job! : )

    I can perfectly imagine this going on. It goes on inside my house, but only with the roommate replaced with a mother. A very cranky mother…moving on, I think this is a very nice Ficlet, because it doesn’t have a whole load of description, which is rare for you, if I may say so. The conversation is just enough to depict what’s going on. Thanks for entering! : )

    Good thing it’s day right here! Seriously, the ending made me gasp. It reminded me of ‘War of the Worlds’, how the aliens got down to Earth with lightning - you might not have put a creature like that in your story - this is just my overactive imagination talking. Great entry, overall. Thanks for entering! : )

  219. On Death Witnesses a Life-Giving Miracle:

    posted 2 months ago

    Oh, no! It’s probably because he chose feelings over duty, right? That’s the problem with Death—if there is someone like this, they should be emotionless for their job. A very nice ficlet, with a darker twist at the end. Keep up the great work!
