Masked Vigilante by Eva Dye
Where is that idiot brother of mine? Aiden and I had come to the masquerade ball to give one of our clients the masks he had ordered for the occasion. Of course, we got separated as soon as Aiden caught sight of all the pretty girls after we arrived. So for the past three hours I’ve been looking for my brother and I still hadn’t found him yet. To make matters worse my dress had been ripped while I...

Short Story by Kayleigh Davis
The curtains blew back as she gazed out into the clear blue sky, the scent of lilacs reaching her delicate nose. She used to love that smell. But that was before the accident. Now, the slightest hint of it made her shiver a little.
“Lorelei! Come down here! It’s about time to go!”
Lorelei took a deep breath and carefully made her way down the stairs to meet her grandmother. She was all that...

Vermis et Corvi - By Elliott Guiso
The soft creaking of the bus had lulled Logan Hemfield to sleep once again. The dimly flickering lights would come on every so often, waking him up, but would soon fade back to their persisting emergency-light-like dimness, the seizure of an electrical beast.
There was nothing else to do, so Logan slept. No one to call, no one besides the ones he was stuck with to get him out of this desert...

Intro to Creative Writing
oporst:
Hello everyone in the Creative Writing club! I’m Elliott Guiso, one of the founders of this soon-to-be EPIC club.
In this club we’ll basically be writing fun stuff because we want to. No one is going to force you to write anything you don’t want to, and if you just want to read/listen to what other people in the club are writing at that particular time, you can do that too.
A few...

Creative Writing Club and You
CW: Hello people of the Fossil Ridge CW club. good job for finding us and stuff, and hopefully you'll like this club because it will be awesome.
You: So what are we going to be doing?
CW: In a word, writing. In several words, sharing stories that we have written, both in person and on the internet, to get reviews from others about our writing styles and what to do to improve them.
You: Cool. So, is this club going to fizzle and die and not be good like last year's club?
CW: Hopefully not, but that depends on the effort that You, the members, put into making it awesome. Also the format of sharing is completely different this time around (as well as really innovative), and should be an improvement over last year's cramped time to share stories that was not good.
You: So... what do I do?
CW: Use this Tumblr account's dashboard to post stories (without disturbing ANYTHING else previously on the page) and getting reviews and comments from others about your stuff.
You: Thanks, random person. By the way, who are you?
CW: That shall remain a mystery until you need to know that.
