The bright red light flashed awkwardly in the darkness. 6:43. The boy scowled at the clock and turned back over to be in the position he’d been in moments ago. This was way too early for him to be up. He had stayed up all night writing something for his Gifted English class so he only went to be a few hours ago and he had a feeling this would not ( Read more... )

A loud beeping noise came from right near his head. Sorata had been awake for the past five minutes, waiting for his alarm to ring, not wanting to get out of bed so soon, but it was time to wake up so Sorata reluctantly turned off his alarm and got out of bed. He quickly got the clothes he needed for the day and headed into the bathroom to get ( Read more... )

In a world where the synthetic sun beat down to feed the fields of false greenery, darkness seemed to have slinked away and disappeared. Rarely did it leak out except for when night time ate the day.

A long, powerful stretch from the sheer lime drapes of the canopy bed, inside a rather westernized, or more specifically, euro-centric bedroom, a yawn like a hungry beast from the lips of such a little girl. A swirl of dark hair mused over night, but even then seemed perfectly in place, moves graceful and practiced. A small plushed frog fell from ( Read more... )

"It's fine autumn weather this morning with a high of 20°C and a low of 15°C! The sky is clear and light winds are picking up through the city making this the start of a great day."

"Tamae, honey, it's really early. Why are you up already?" a voice asked from outside Tamae's door. Tamae instantly froze, wondering if her humming had woken up her mother.
