《The Pig and the Frog》FOUR
Advertisement
I wake up to my annoying brother throwing a book at me. "CALEB!" I scream and rush out of bed. I hear him running because he knows I'm faster, and stronger than him.
I'm kind of excited to go to school now. I mean, it's okay if I'm just friends with Tobias. I hope that satisfies me. He probably has MANY girls on him, and has had about a thousand girlfriends. I, have had one. One very traumatizing.
I shiver. Just don't think about it Tris. I grab some clothes from my suitcase and head into my bathroom. I close the door and get dress. I look into the mirror. I'm so skinny I can count all of my ribs easily. 12 on each side.
I pull my black crop top on and slide on my high waisted black jeans. I throw my hair into a high ponytail and smile at the mirror. "You are pretty Tris. Believe it." I tell myself. Something my therapist said to do each morning.
But it never works.
I frown and leave the bathroom. I exit my room and walk into the kitchen. I open up the fridge, but there is nothing. So I grab my Minnie Mouse backpack and exit the house without a word.
I walk around the streets and find a Starbucks. Perfect! I order a hot chocolate and a bacon cheese muffin. I sit down alone at a table and scarf down my muffin.
A few minutes later I'm finished. I get up and head towards the school. At least I think. I hope. I don't have a phone or anything, and I don't want to ask anybody. But I follow some kids over there and I eventually make it.
Good luck Tris.

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.
