bellatuscana QUOTES

1 " I woke up finding the world I had known to be gone. Instead, the sky was glowing. I stood up. Nothing had happened to the child, I was as perfectly pregnant as before. The sky seemed to be full of glittering objects floating around, that on further inspection were glowing specs. There were no trees, no buffalo, just endless hills that seem to go on and on. "

3 " The castle loomed over head. It was dark, built on top of a large hill, the clouds meeting up to nearly hide it in a foggy mist, swirling around it. Machined planes flew around it as to detect whether or not someone was climbing the walls. A dragon stood to the side of it, guarding the main stairs to the top. Around it was a river of blood floating with skeleton heads. The river went into a dark, pitch black tunnel where you could hear the sound of water dripping overhead. I could feel a pair of animal eyes watching me. This was terrifying, but if it was for Peter, I would have to continue "

5 " Some people find it to be heaven, others purgatory. You, my son, are in hell. I'm taking a role they gave me as one of the demons who get to punish you, a role I plan on taking very seriously and enjoying immensely. You'll be begging for my company, and seeing as I've been lonely for so long "

7 " The sun woke at the dawn of the day. Nova woke up, brushing her hair quickly. She brushed her teeth, and then she hurried into the kitchen where her adoptive mother, Silvia, had waited for her. Silvia had adopted Nova when she was just a baby, left on the castle's front steps. It was from then on that Silvia raised her as her daughter. "

9 " Did you say extraterrestrial life?' asked the reporter, amused. She wasn't buying this. Nobody believes the weirdos, even if the US military is behind it. Weird but easy to be expected after what I have been through. Who could believe that travel between other worlds was remotely possible? After hearing enough people tell me that I was crazy, including aunts, uncles, cousins, my parents and my siblings; it was easy for me to believe that I was. Why should society behave any different in regard to someone else? "

11 " Soon, he brought her to the nicest restaurant he could find. Gave her a dozen roses, and an engagement ring.

"When I commit to someone, I really commit to them. I know now that there's nobody out there who I care about as much as I do you. There's no one I would rather spend my life with."

They kissed.

It's true then, they thought. You really can meet the perfect person and live happily ever after. "

13 " Scorpions are very loyal and deeply passionate. They can hold onto heartbreak and past hurt longer than you or I. It is an only illusion that makes us believe that the Scorpion is fully self-centered and only concerned with matters that affect their personal well-being. This may be a front that they put up to protect themselves from strangers they don't know very well. "

15 " It is 1908.

The stars shone above in the night sky as a steamship floated among the clouds.

It's captain, Captain Otra, looked at his watch. He was ahead of his delivery schedule by 30 minutes to deliver the British Government it's much-needed order of concentrated milk and goat cheese from the shores of New Zealand.

He had inherited the business from his wife's father. His wife had passed roughly 5 years ago.

His daughter Lux Otra was tinkering for the hundredth time on her grandfather's sky faring compass, taking it apart and putting it back together. Each time she fixed, the compass worked perfectly again. Memorizing these intricate steps would give her a temporary satisfaction but now she couldn't do it anymore. She set the compass down and sighed in frustration. "

17 " My Angel of Darkness keeps me from feeling lonely
Fills me with desire, then is gone by morning
Living in a world that doesn't know his name nor the twinkle in his eye
Or the way his arms reach for you in the middle of the night

He is the only man who will ever know me better than I know myself

Yet here I am again
The echoing of the air conditioning
The sunlight pouring through the walls
And I am reminded of being replaced "

19 " What am I doing
If not destroying myself
Every single time
Then putting myself back together
What if it means nothing
To keep coming back
Keep typing on the page "
