《What If Tomorrow Is Too Late?》Caged
Advertisement
Like a lion licking his lips from behind the bars of a cage. It would be a grave mistake to underestimate me. I can't be contained.
Keep an eye on me and don't make
a wrong move. You foolishly think I'm the one on display. But you're sorely mistaken. It's not me, it's you.
The hunger inside me is insatiable and tenacious. For me, it's not about eating. It's the thrill of the chase. I salivate as you watch me stalk my own prey.
It's tragic. You sit idle and watch as I eat. Now, you can only drool while I savor the feast.
The bars that surround me were built by years of envy and jealousy. Too bad you wasted all your time and your energy.
It looks like by you; the bars were perfectly placed. You locked yourself up with your resentment and hate.
I have nothing but kind actions and kind words left to say. Unlike you, I am free and it is you that is caged.

I turned towards her, twisting my ankle in the process, and started to fall. I am looking at her face, I can see her eyes widening in shock in the street-lamps glow. I can see her start to scream the word “NO” when I am suddenly plunged into utmost blackness.

Sidhe Academy: Avatar
War on the horizon. A realm struggling for Balance. A boy in the crossfire. Saemus' life with his family was good if you ignored the strange voices he could hear whispering quests to him that alienated him from the rest of his small village, but the Middling Forest in the Fae Realm is a harsh place and his family is able to get by with the other elves in the area. But when an attack on the village prompts his parents to fight and he sees something strange following them, he's thrust into the war between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts for the rights to the bounties of his homeland. Conscripted into service years before he should have even been considered ready to fight, Saemus is meant to attend the prestigious Sidhe Academy, where the two courts' newest generations of warriors train and learn. Saemus will need all the power he can manage if he is to navigate the political games that lay ahead, and figure out how to survive what is coming. Because this academy is a war zone that only leads to another. ** Sexual content warning for a potentially bothersome event. Nothing explicit. Thank you.***
