I shifted uncomfortably, moving my weight from foot to foot as Flora tried to pick out a dress for me that didn’t look completely ridiculous, hurrying here and there about the clothes room, full to bursting of dresses of every colour under the sun, each made of silk spun so fine, it felt like the kiss of a breeze upon my skin... I was petrified to even touch them, let alone wear them: it was almost certain that I’d manage to spoil them.
I reconfirmed my promise to throttle Celeritas next time I saw him. No doubt, he thought this to be a hilarious joke- knowing I had the grace of a drunken penguin in a dress. Somewhere deeper it m

Out of their Element 5
Aiden This. Is. Crazy. I hope Evie can’t tell just how freaked out I actually am. I've probably had more adrenaline pumped into me in the last hour than in the entire past year combined. I can't even begin to unpack Dr. Little's death and the part I played in it. Not to mention the predicament of my shrunken classmate who I'm holding in my hand like she's a goddamn hamster. But I know that all pales in comparison to what this poor girl just went through. She looks so lost and afraid and I feel a sense of responsibility to keep it together in her stead. But then again. The experience of having her willingly climb onto my hand is… something else. I'm not wearing gloves this time so I can feel the tiny tickle of her fingers as she hesitantly reaches her arms out and touches me. I can sense the weight and temperature of her body as she clambers aboard. I can tell she's trembling as she crawls away from the edges and

Slate stared with wide eyes.Happy birthday?He shook.
"..What're you, a statue?"Jackson snicked, and leaned forward, turning his shooter, and peeked inside, as if expecting to see more confetti he could shoot again.
"Well, what do you expect him to do?"Bryce frowned, his smile fading.
"Party?"
The voices faded out, and Slate was far confused.He just stood, horrified that nearly everyone's eyes were on him.And, the confusion..Why was Bryce..?It was as if he forgotten everything that happened last night.
His confusion grew with each passing second.His right leg shook uncontrollably, more than his other, and bones

Nellie O'Nine and the Giants PART 22
Colton started towards the exit towards the parking lot when someone walks in front of him, blocking his path.
Through the pocket of his shirt Nellie could make out the girl in front of him. She was gorgeous, tall even for a normal giant woman. When Nellie looked down she could see her high heels added to her height. Her hair was jet black and cut short around her shoulders. And her eyes were an intense blue color, big and round like a cat. Add eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and a touch of gloss and this girl was ready for the runway.
"Hey Holland," the girl took a step closer and looked up into Colton's eyes fluttering her lashes at him. "

Life and Death in the Forest, Chapter 1
Liam was walking through the forest, minding his own business. The noise among the trees was normal: birdsong, small animal chatter and the brief yip of a fox. Suddenly, the forest went quiet. Deathly quiet. Heavy, thundering footsteps broke the stillness and he was completely caught off guard as a pair of trolls, easily nine feet tall each, broke through the trees and headed directly for him. Panic set in when their black eyes locked on him and their cracked lips spread wide in a sneer, revealing disgusting yellow teeth. Liam turned and ran as fast as his legs would take him. He scrambled through the forest, desperately trying to get away. Thankfully, although the trolls were big, they're slow and he managed to put some distance between himself and them. He turned a corner and saw a giant woman lounging on her side, reading a book. She had to be at least twenty feet tall. Maybe she would protect him! Without another thought, he ducked behind their legs and curled into the bend of
