A writer plotting murder - a weird monologue script (that isn't very good)

By Yuli Atta

  (An author sits at a café with her editor, trying to resolve a problem in her story.)

   I need to kill somebody. I need to kill somebody whose death will destroy them. I need to hit them right in their weakest spot. So who would the best candidate be?

Tomb Raider: Film vs Game

By Yuli Atta

It is common knowledge that if a book becomes famous enough, it gets adapted into a film or a TV show. Most of the time these adaptations aren’t even good according to a lot of the people who have already read the book but at the same time, the ones who have watched the screen adaptation may decide to read the novel as well. There are even a lot of memes online, showing how big the differences between the screen adaptation and the original itself are. One of those memes shows the tip of an iceberg above water and how much bigger it actually is underwater which is a great metaphor for the changes made in the film. So, what about games and their screen adaptations? Are there any differences? Is the meme just as valid for games and their films as it is for books?

Chapter 1

It was mid afternoon, Crystal was sat in her favorite spot in the corner of a quiet coffee shop, with a latte in front of her and her sketchbook in her lap. She sighed, focusing on the page that was open, leaning her head onto the cool window to soothe a growing headache.

Winter -Short Story-

By Melissa Oates 

It was a frosty afternoon in mid-December, the snow fell gently to the ground.

A boy around the age of nineteen waited impatiently by a frozen fountain. He was dressed for winter as he wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a plain white t-shirt that was covered by his winter jacket. His mop of brown hair was covered up with a beanie.

SHORT STORY: A weird Mistborn fan fiction

By Yuli Atta

 Ash didn’t fall from the sky.

   I stood on the top of a building in the middle of Elendel, my coat fluttering in the wind. My eyes were watering because of the chilliness of the outside air, while I was perching on the roof of the tall construction, trying to see as far ahead of me, as possible.

Lucy had always known that she was different, hearing voices wasn’t normal, especially for a sixteen-year-old, and she’s pretty sure that seeing the dead wasn’t normal either.

Eyebrows

By Yuli Atta

(This was a practice piece written for one of my modules at university. We each had an adjective and had to write a character who is described by that adjective without actually naming it. Try to guess mine. The individual whose POV I chose is a real-life person whom I call the Eyebrows.)

It was late at night; the silence of the house was deafening. The only thing I could hear was everybody’s relaxed breathing and the dog’s occasional whimper in its sleep. My stomach growled. I turned on my bed trying to ignore it and go back to sleep and accidentally bumped into my sleeping wife. I didn’t apologise, she was fast asleep so why would she need an apology. My stomach growled again. This was so annoying; why would I get hungry in the middle of the night again. I grunted and got up. I opened and closed the door to our bedroom and could hear my son’s talking in his sleep. I went over to the kids’ room to check on him. Weird, the older one wasn’t there. My step-daughter? No, no, she was my daughter… Or was she really? After all I had adopted her only to make her mother stay with me longer. That bitch refused the first time I proposed but I knew she wouldn’t after she got pregnant. Who would want a kid outside of marriage after all? Certainly not me.
