Diana in the Darkness

Darkness. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Death? Evil? Despair? Answering any of those won’t make a person any less; in fact, those answers constitute the norm. However, does the norm always hold true, or is it like the English language that has rules, and to each one, an exception occurs? Most probably, a girl named Diana would say that there are always exceptions. She’d say that it could be good, a refuge, a veil, or even a shield that could prevent evil from happening. If only should say it, but alas, her story would not allow her to do so.

When You Want It the Most

“When you want it the most / there’s no easy way out”

The song was subdued in the background as Giles was staring at his monitor.

He loved staring at his desktop wallpaper. It was Window’s default wallpaper – New Bliss.jpg. The deep blue hues in the sky made him feel calm and cool while the white parts of the clouds gave him a light feeling. The vibrant green of the field beneath made him remember his childhood, running around in a wide open space.

“How I wish I can be there,” Giles said to himself beneath a huff of a breath.

Looking for Aliens

"Angelina, there are no aliens!" said Juancho.
Irritated, Angelina exclaimed, "Well, keep looking! I saw the orb land right about here."

Out of the Darkness

There are no rats hiding in this cabinet, fool! Don't disturb me!" screamed the goblin at Mark.

A Christmas Wish

It's Christmas time, and a lot of magical things happen during this season. There's that story about a stingy, mean, old man that was visited by ghosts. There's that Glee episode where Artie, a paraplegic, was able to walk. I've even heard my mother say that most of her wishes come true during this hallowed season. These are all merry things, hence the greeting, but magic can also have its opposite, terrifying edge even if it's the Christmas season.
