After Lights Out

     The door was locked, the light turned off. Something waited and then in the far corner of the room a shape started to wobble. A pair of eyes and a mouth appeared on the surface of a…desk?! Then, something else started to shake and the same facial features appeared on a…chair?! A voice spoke, but there was no people inside the room, 

    “Oh my gosh, I’m really going to suffocate if these things keep happening.”

    “You’re better off, I get to smell people’s butts everyday, ugh.”

    “Well, I have to face the boogers!”

    “They’re middle schoolers! Surely they aren’t as childish as that!”

    “Don’t even remind me of these middle schoolers. They have no idea of the pain we go through, the weight we hold on top!”

    “True…I get crushed almost everyday! I know I’m strong, but I’m getting old, and keep my word, anytime these days, you’ll see me crashing down from the weight above.”

Inconsistent control of ideas and editing




15 sentences




Organized and ideas can be followed

But hidden in a certain pencil case, muted by the bustling school, there lies a blossoming love story, a little different than your average one.

    A small white cat displayed on the front of the light pink fabric, roughed by the years of usage, on top dangled a small metal zipper on the right side. In the tiny pouch two markers, so very different, but still similar in ways they both never expected to see.

Teeth and Tongue

Teeth tears through the enemy;
searing past the layers, seizing 
its dense core and shreds it.

Tongue saunters the problem;
suave in its protest against the
brutal violence that is seen daily. 

Teeth rids itself of childhood;
soldiers abandoning innocence 
on the fatal battlefield. 

Tongue boasts its soothing voice
and abundance of free will, it
sings of charity and peace. 

Teeth grapples death by his throat
and savagely rips the voice box
from his almost unbreakable body.

Tongue caresses life's rosy cheeks
and pours its love into her like wine
to a bottomless glass. 

Teeth despises Tongue and its glory
to speak; as Teeth is the muzzle
and abhors its blunt clacking sound. 

Tongue adores Teeth, though;
pressing lovingly against its back,
always there to bestow much praise.

Teeth knows it cannot live without Tongue,
