Fiction

I have been a “shape-shifter” ever since the accident and, unlike most shifters I'm not bored of it. It’s amazing, I get to be whoever I want to be. If I want to get into a VIP club I can change into a well known celebrity or businessman.

I soar through the tree tops and spread my wings as wide as they go. I look down below me as I fly through the sky. I flew as fast as I could trying to find the girl.

    I woke up as a turkey today. It’s funny because I dreamed of Thanksgiving last night. My family and I were sitting around the table and I heard my mom say “Becky if you eat much more you are going to turn into a turkey.” 

The wind was strong and powerful. It was like a hurricane, except with no flooding and no waves. People stayed in their houses, afraid to be blown away. I did not know of the wind, so, I walked out.

I strolled down the sidewalk on a bright, warm, Sunday morning. It was a normal day, actually an abnormally nice day. People walked with their dogs, rode on bikes, skateboards, and roller skates.

Martina's family was very strange. Her parents were always whispering. They never smiled. But the strangest part was that in their haunted looking house, there was one room her mother forbid her to go into.

My heart was racing when I saw the sun for the first time in two days. The forest is a horrible place for a 10 year-old. 

As I ride up to the gate, I hear the loud noise of the horses feet pouding against the ground. All of a sudden, my stomach goes into knots. I can tell this is not going to be a good run.

There once was a man who has been in a coma for 17 years, after what the evil witch had done to him.

I wake up, where am I? The last thing I can remember is closing my eyes to go to sleep, and now I seem to be in some sort of clearing. My breathing intensifies making me dizzy as I try to find some logic to the situation I’m in.

I looked around me as I stepped out of the forest. I sighed as I continued walking to the center of the field that surrounded me. When I got to the middle of it I sat down. It appeared to but then I heard a noise coming from behind me.

Clearing. It’s a clearing! My eyes watered from the salty sweat that was dripping down my face. I was so hot and tired. I held the large palm leaf above my head, slightly protecting myself from the sun.
