"Falling for Devils"

Love is the easiest thing to fall into. It's so easy for a smile to catch your heart and carry it for as long as you'll let it. But what happens when they grip your heart and crush it before even giving it a chance, judging the heart souly upon its weight rather than what lay within? 
I'd been typing away at my laptop on a warm summers day. I was lucky enough to find a seat where the sun was just perfectly blocked by the blooming tree overhead. I sat back from my keyboard for a moment to take a deep breath of fresh air. I didn't make it outside much, so any chance I got I appreciated deeply. And the calming sounds of nature mixed in with the chattering of people in the distance made for a calming atmosphere.
I was surprised when I was greeted by a gorgeous blonde woman sat down next to me.
"What are you writing?" She asked, her voice as smooth and as light as silk.
I took a glance at my screen as her piercing, ocean blue eyes followed my gaze. "I'm writing an article for work. It's a remembrance of this park and the beautiful scene this park still is after all these years." I closed my laptop and turned to her. I may have loved being outside and around others, but prying eyes was something I wasn't too fond of.
"Sorry, don't let me interrupt." She said, a little pouty, her voluptuously bottom lip being ever so slightly showed off. "I find journalism very interesting though."
I was shocked, a beautiful work of art of a woman had a beautiful mind as well? Having an appreciation for the art of writing. I didn't want to push it too far and tell her I was a writer, working on novels on the side.
I raised an eyebrow to her to show interest. "Oh really." I turned to her before she had the chance to walk away. There's no way I'd want her to walk away, I wanted her hand for myself. I know I have a problem falling in love so easily, but when's the next time I'll find a woman this beautiful and as interested in writing as I am?
She circled back to the seat next to me and we continued to talk about writing, nature and beauty, as well as some of the things we enjoyed on the side, all the way until the sky darkened. Half a day going by in only seconds. Just before we parted ways, I asked her where we can meet again. She replied, knowing a spot along the shoreline she enjoyed walking down. We exchanged numbers and parted ways, leaving me eagerly awaiting tomorrow night.

As the sun began to dip down to the shoreline, I had finally finished my drive to the beach. I saw her step out of her car a few spots down. I made my way to the entrance, her doing a little jog to make her way to me, smiling in a way that made is shimmer in the little sunlight left. If only I had a camera to capture the beautiful moment.
I looked around the beach as I made my way down the wooded steps to the sandy beach. There wasn't a person there besides us. She stepped just in front of me and grabbed my hand, carrying me over to her favorite spot. Her hand was small in mine. I felt as though I had to be careful with her hand, otherwise breaking it on accident.
When we got to her favorite spot, we walked and talked until the sun was completely gone, replaced by the moon that shown high and small in the night sky.
"What's your biggest pet peeve?" she asked, looking up to me with a smile.
"Probably people that don't appreciate life," I replied. "There are so many moments in life that we take things for granted. We become lazy and consumed in our comfort that we push things off until the last minute. They don't realize how powerful time truly is until it's over and we waisted it all away."
"But the world humanity has created for itself is programmed us humans to be lazier and lazier with every passing day by presenting them with a continuous stream of distractions that lead to years passing by without a change." She said.
"But even so," I rebuttled, "it's not without a little bit of willpower that you can push through things and accomplish things you could only previously dream of. For example, I pushed to see you again. It would've been so easy not to but I instead went for it."
"And I lured you to a barely lit place that is widely known to be deserted and unsupervised. And I brought a knife."

"Hooked"

T he summer can be the perfect time to get away, to unwind while kicking your feet into the cool water while the hot sun is beaming down on you. But what if the bright summer sky was hiding behind it something even darker? I had been waiting for today all week. They'd finally opened the stream up for fishing. I was a little upset at the fact they'd decided to raise prices, but I didn't care, it was a nice day outside and I wasn't about to waste it sitting inside when I could be fishing. With my tacklebox in hand and my fishing pole in the other, I made my way to my truck. I threw everything in the back seat. I was about to head to the driver's seat but hesitated when I thought about bringing my cooler. I had one in the back ready for fish, as well as housing some canisters of worms. But what if I brought one along for some drinks? After a few moments I decided it might not be the greatest idea. It would be too much to carry and I didn't trust anyone that...

"The Light"

  My day off from work was supposed to be a day for me to relax and unwind and rest. The past few days had been incredibly stressful, from hateful customers to managers that expected everyone to do their jobs for them, and everything in between. It was nice to finally have that down time to spend away from all that. I'd decided to spend my time, not to get things done around the house, but to play a new game I'd been hooked on lately. It was this puzzle game where every room is seemingly randomly generated, each with clean and clever puzzles. After booting up the game, I was presented a room with white padded tiles all over the walls. There were a few green, red, and blue squares. I guess my job was to manipulate those tiles somehow to get me from where I was no, up to the top of the level. I looked around the room and could barely make out an opening. I pressed a single button to get myself started when the light in my bedroom burnt out, leaving me shrouded in darkness...

"Baby Talk"

C ommunication is one of the strongest bonds we have as people. We use it to get our feelings across, whether they be disagreements or compliments, or even to complain about our days. But what happens when even the most talkative person won't even mutter a word? At one point in time, if you told me that our baby would grow up just like any normal one would, I would have absolutely believed you. But why is it that now our child has the ability to speak long before any normal kid should be able to? The one painful thing that comes from her being able to talk is that she doesn't really want to stop. It was cute when it first started, she'd make all these silly noises and attempt to make words out of them. Now she has learned speech so well that we're surprised she can't read yet. We wanted to send her off to a school for gifted kids so that she could learn with people nearly as smart as she is. As much as I'd enjoy this idea, however, the wife and I would a...
