The Man in the Well: Fifteen Years Later (A Short Story)

By Caitlin C Editor's note: This is a sequel to the 1995 short story, "The Man in the Well" by Ira Sher. Click HERE to read the original on Commonlit.org. Part 1: Reunion I was nine when I discovered the man in the well. I’m 24 now and still feel guilty. I was playing with my friends and found a man stuck inside of a well. I don’t know why I didn’t help. I decided it was time to make things right. I made a group call of all my childhood friends and told them to meet back at the well. Wendy was the first to arrive, then Arthur, Aaron, Grace, and Jason. They all had grown up but still had an evil little smirk on each of their faces. Robby was the only one who wasn’t here. He died of cancer when he was 19. “Guys, I think we have to make things right,” I said wearily. “Are you okay?” Wendy asked. Arthur nudged her as if to say, “Stop”. Wendy and Arthur were newlyweds, but Wen...

Wings of Fire: Crystals of the Sky (The 100% Fan Fiction Spinoff)

By Glory and Luna Prologue: {“The first continent is of sight. The next continent is of memory. My voice is on the aurora. My breath is of all.” “Sage, what is that scroll?” the young student asked. “Our origins.” “Sage, please keep reading,”the young dragonet asked again. “My breath is of Sand and of sea, of storms and of forests, of reflection and of life, of venom and ice, of night and of day, of crystals and of metal. When the tribes collide, the shard of the last breath shall rise.” “Sage, who wrote that?” “The first one.” “Sage, the first–” Suddenly a storm erupted on the pedestal. A voice of all knowledge spoke several cryptic words. The scroll was lost.}

For Real Tho Blog - "The Burgers"

By preppy_blogger99 The Horrors of Cafeteria Food: The “Burgers” The “burgers” in this school are like someone took a cow and dunked it in rubber and then burned in a dumpster fire and then got dunked in seawater. It is “Extremely Well Done.” Not in the good way. I mean the fact that it has the consistency of a hockey puck. In a feat of engineering still baffling scientists, it manages to bounce three inches but yet crumble to mush in your mouth. The buns also are the consistency of a stale moldy biscuit. 0.999 out of 10, will only eat if forced to. Disclaimer: This is an original blog post by one of our staff writers.

The Barriers - A Poem

Cassidy Faith Shattered friendships, A broken heart, Why do I always fall apart? Crumpled up And thrown away, Runnin’ blind ‘til I see the day. Find the light, Returned to darkness, Lost in only my own weakness. Just push through, Keep on trying, Say I’m fine and now I’m lying. Stinging tears, Quiet screams, Drowning in my broken dreams. Silent hopes, Whispered prayers, ‘Til I break through the barriers.

Mission 458 - A Book Written By a Student (Chapter 4)

by M.E. (Major Elephant) Chapter Four Later, at the hospital, Robert and Kelly looked anxiously at the green creature. It was having some metal pieces from the spaceship crash taken out of its body. He was bandaged up and put to rest in a hospital bed. “You think it’s going to be okay?” Kelly asked. “Yeah, I think so. But the doctors said it would take a few days for the wounds to heal,” Robert said. “You know what, I’ll tell you why I was fired. The company AliensRCool is not about studying aliens, it’s about enslaving them. They are currently working on a top secret mission called Mission 458. I didn’t want to hurt them, so I was fired,” Kelly confessed. “So wait, John is evil now?!” Robert screamed, shocked. “Woah Woah Woah,” Kelly whispe...
