YA'LLLLLLLLLL OH MY GOD SOOOOO I entered this story/poem writing thing and like it gets submitted, if you're chosen it gets edited and put into this Anthology book. I GOT CHOSENNNNNNNN I submitted a story AND a poem. I'd put the link but then you could see my full name and all that...
This was the feedback I got btw: Hey, good work! You’ve got a real knack for world building and for showing instead of telling! One thing to watch out for is repeating phrases and description words. As for your poem, we didn’t edit that except to fix the eclipses. Poems are completely
and utterly at the discretion of their author; each word and syllable is purposely placed so we didn’t want to mess any of it up.
But Therese are my entries AFTER editing
Death of A Demon short story:
Every person is born with a demon inside of them. But one day...one
person’s demon took over and struck their world with chaos. This person’s name
was Alzitar. Now, Alzitar was a fairly abnormal teenager. He was a pretty short
guy standing at about five foot six and had silky black hair. The story of Alzitar
takes place at the school of Guerden, which was named after the principal's great
grandfather.
Everyday, Alzitar’s demon tried to break free and take over in order to
cause chaos in the world. Because of this, his demon was able to escape a little
bit which caused Alzitar to have a few abnormal features. These features
included demon horns as well as pitch black eyes. Due to these features Alzitar
was feared by many of his peers. Though, there were a select trio who were not
scared but instead disturbed by him. This trio of friends made Alzitar feel
worthless. They bullied him everyday, always reminding him that he was ugly,
stupid, and useless, the trio also slammed him into lockers.
One day, Alzitar gets pushed past his limits. Before he left for school his
parents began fighting so he was already in a bad mood on top of tripping on his
way to school. When Alzitar arrives at school the trio of bullies are waiting for
him. Their names are Eyelina, Guten, and Kepta, and they begin bullying him
per-usual. Guten and Kepta snatched Alzitar’s school books and began tearing
pages out. As Eyelina watches them do this she snatches Alzitar’s backpack.
Alzitar stores a journal in which he writes his personal thoughts in this backpack.
Eyelina finds this journal and opens it to the first page and begins reading aloud.
“Dear diary, I think I have a newfound crush on this girl named Rozda.
She’s literally so pret-,” Eyelina gets interrupted as Alzitar tackles her. The entire
trio begins screaming for Alzitar to get off of Eyelina. But Alzitar is blinded as his
demon takes over his body. As Alzitar’s demon is released, his horns grow
larger, demon wings sprout, and claws form. Eyelina then freezes in terror, and
Alzitar slashes her torso. As Guten and Kepta see the site in front of them they
scream in terror. They watch Eyelina’s life leave her eyes, and they freeze at the
site. Alzitar notices this and takes it to his advantage as he lunges at them,
slashing both of their throats.
As this sequence of events occurs, more and more students arrive at the
school. One student named Akrin sneaks into the school and alerts the principal
of what’s happening. The principal then alerts Demon Control, and they send out
the chief as well as a few officers. As Demon Control begins driving to the
school, Alzitar lunges at another student named Jasla. She screams for help, but
no one dares to step in, scared for their own safety, Alzitar hunches over her
then sinks his teeth into her throat, she lets out a slight scream before the life
leaves her eyes as his bite is firm.
Alzitar is still hovering over Jasla’s lifeless body as Demon Control arrives.
The students begin backing away slowly as demon control gets out of their van
and approaches slowly. The laws clearly state that murder is punishable by
death, and if there are more than two known deaths the punishment may be
executed on the scene of the crime. Knowing this, Demon Control sets up a net
with silent drones directly above Alzitar. The chief of Demon Control makes sure
to report that there have been four known deaths. The net is then dropped over
Alzitar, he then tries to escape but instead ends up tangling himself up to the
point that he can’t move anymore. The Demon Control officers then position
themselves around Alzitar and set up their guns. Alzitar is then shot three times,
once in the chest, arm, and torso. Alzitar then screeches and squirms in pain as
bluish-black blood spills from his wounds and he bleeds out. His body then goes
limp as he lays there, demon control moves in and loads Alzitars body as well as
the other four bodies into their van. The chief of Demon Control then reassures
everyone that the danger has been taken care of. As the officers and chief climb
into their van they drive off. The principal then speaks to the students and states
that the danger is gone, and school will be canceled for the next two days.
Demons Inside Of You poem:
The light within life resonates deep within yourself
But some people see not the same
Other people may see this as a sign of insanity
Only because you are not what they want you to be
They may hate you just for something you simply can’t
control
It messes with your head
When you’re lying in bed
All you can remember is the words they said to you
The words leak into you with demons attached
They corrupt your brain
Until you go what they know as “insane”
These demons cause you immense pain
They begin controlling everything you do
As well as everything you say
But only until one day...
There's nothing left of what you used to be
The old self you used to know Is now dead
No one knows who you are anymore
Not even yourself
All you are now is a shell of someone you used to be
A shell that's now filled with demons
You are no longer alive
All because of the words they said to you
Those words that they all thought were harmless
They never thought they would leave you lifeless
Now...lifeless with demons controlling your every move
