Don't Stop! GT Short StoryEbony leaned back against the red wood's furry bark, breathing in a long trail of fresh air.  Under her arm, sitting contently on her lap, was Melodon- her tiny Martin guitar. It was a light cream colored guitar with a loud sound, and small body. Ebony had received it on her twelfth birthday, and she had been playing ever since.

She looked out from her perch, staring curiously at the beautiful landscape... No one came up here. Except animals of course. And sometimes, Ebony would rarely catch a glimpse of a giant moving through the forest in long intimidating strides! Oh how those enormous creatures frightened her... But Ebony had to admit, t
Midnight Surprise (Hug a Giant Day)The crisp night wind made Julianna's curly black hair fly out from under her helmet as she rode her white motorized scooter at top speed on the giant-sized sidewalk. She wore a rose pink halter top with black capris and red tennis shoes. A euphoric grin was spread across her face and she practically bouncing in her seat as she neared her destination.

This is going to be so awesome!

Once Julianna reached the end of the street, she came to a stop at an enormous red-bricked house. She was definitely far from home, being on the giant side of the town. Around here, she only appeared to be around eight or nine inches tall. It was also an unusuall
The Big Sibling ProgramMy name is Amelia Rose Moffingale. I have a younger sister named Amanda (Amanda Caridee Pasco, if you want specifics) and two big—and I emphasize 'big' for a reason—brothers. None of them are my real family so to speak...they're actually my adoptive/foster family.

Several years ago, when I had been about eight years old, I lost both of my parents to the sea; the two of them had loved to travel on the water—they had their own boat and everything. They would take me along with them too so that I could experience the beauty of the oceans and the sea. My life had been the water, but the water was what also tore my happy days apart...

It had bee
GT: TherapyFear, rational or otherwise, was something one never truly wanted to face head on.

For twenty years, give or take, Carol Walding viewed conquering some certain fears as overrated; avoidance was just as commendable in her eyes.

So as she sat quietly in the large, solemn office, under the scrutinous gaze of the austere Colonel Jackson, she wondered what decisions in her life caused her to end up here.

"It's quite illogical, Carol." Colonel Jackson was a longtime friend of the family, possibly her father's best friend, but as he spoke with her that evening, his voice was leveled and professional; though he still had trouble concealing the und
Back to School!!Back To School

I hated starting at a new school this year.
Senior year was supposed to be the most exciting year of my life…well at least until I graduate college, turn twenty-one and get married.  Senior year was supposed to be my year but my parents had changed all that when they enrolled me in the 'immersion' program.  For so many years humans and giants had been kept separated from one another but now, not only were there enough giants in the world that they no longer could be homeschooled, but they were now being permitted to be co-educated.
  I thought it was a great idea, in theory, but certainly
Two Days Late (Hug a Giant Day)   I glanced at the calendar, seeing when my next appointment was for my physical therapy, when I noticed the hastily scrawled words in red pen on July 21st that said 'Hug a Giant Day! Don't forget!'.
   I gasped, even with the reminder; I had forgotten and realized I was going to have to make it up to the Mersh for forgetting to do such a thing.
   I quickly laid my laptop on my small bed and grabbed a flashlight off my dresser. Running down the staircase I nearly slipped on a small puddle of water at the base of the stairs. Obviously, someone had forgotten to clean it up after swimming.

Trust had come far easier to Elena than she and Tirion expected. Elena herself thought that due to instinct she would have run as far away from Tirion as fast as possible during their first encounter, but not only did she stay put, but she actually mustered up enough courage to reveal herself to him. She actually found that she believed him when he said that he would not hurt her. Now here she was, hiding behind a vase on a table, her eyes wide with fear as the being who had taken her in knelt in front of the table, asking herself why. She had heard the stories of giants, and while some were light

Elena sighed. She was standing in front of the door to his room, which was cracked slightly in case she wanted to talk. She was trying to be brave about this, but courage was hard to find for her in a situation like this, and she was just too nervous. Her whole entire body was shaking with anxiety and her heart rate was off the scale. She was just about to push the door open when she heard a noise from inside the room. She quickly ran from the door and darted around the nearest corner. Hesitantly, she peeked out from behind it, only to see Tirion exit the room. She gasped before covering her mouth
First EncountersAbraham huffed as he bathed in the lake, grateful that he lived far away enough from the village so he avoided the humans but still close enough to the water so he could bathe in peace. Of course, he could only do it at night since if a human caught him, they would try to kill him.

Giants were not as magical and mythical as humans make them out. They were not as tall as skyscrapers or anything and they were not seeking out humans as meals. They weren't hideous troll creatures either that didn't wear proper clothing and covering either. Not all of them live and wandered all. Those fairytales and folktales completely twisted the truth. People
Short story: ChangesI was excited when I heard that Scott had returned. At first I was worried that he wouldn't remember me….it had been so long ago when we played together as children. I guess I wasn't really worried that he wouldn't remember me…we had nearly been best friends, but I was more worried that he wouldn't consider seeing me again. You know how it is, when someone that you are close with moves far away. Sometimes you drift apart and there is that strange awkwardness when you see each other again. The strange awkwardness that feels like this person who you used to know so well is now a stranger before your eyes. Apparently, and happily, Scot
In the beginning..."Ugh, No!!!"  He stomped in frustration, the ground shaking beneath his shoes.  He had done it again…another group of kids…gone…their terrified shouts still echoing through the forest as they fled back to town.  Granted, they had lasted a little longer than most others who had seen him; he at least managed to utter a hopeful 'hello' before they took off running.   

But hey, wouldn't you freak out too if you saw a 40 foot tall ten year old?

"This is pointless."  He groaned and sat down, leaning himself back against a sturdy elm tree.  Above him was the sudden rus
Daddy's Little GirlStarted 1/31/10

It had been 7 years since that incident that everyone had blamed on the government. That incident that bred a new type of human being. And the new human being was being called a name from nothing more than fairy tales…a giant.

Cassie was little but embarrassed of her situation in this 'new world.' It was all because over egotistical leaders of countries all around the world wanted some sort of gas to be tested right away. She stared at a photo on her bedside table in the corner of her room, her blue eyes falling to the friendly female smiling face in it. It was a photo of her mother in the hospital after she had Cassie.
432 days Short StoryPart 1

I crossed off another day on the calendar. Day four hundred and thirty two now was diagonally cut in two by the harsh, red mark of my pen. I don't even know why I bothered to keep track of the days anymore. I guess it was just another thing to do to keep myself occupied, although the result was hardly beneficial to my goals. Keeping track of the time my parents had been gone and the number of days that held my lonely existence was hardly the plan I had in mind. Still, I felt an odd urge to keep watch, to know that I was still attached to this earth somehow or else I might mistake that I was now dreaming, or dead as well. At very least
GT: Guardian 1The sun was almost completely out of the sky at this time; not that it mattered…considering it hid behind the numerous clouds all day anyway. It took only a few minutes for the temperature to drastically drop due to the absence of solar heat. Snow lightly began to fall over a small metropolitan city inhabited with houses, apartments, and businesses alike.

"I'm going out!" Located in a small shoe store; which was irrationally sandwiched between two large industrial companies, a young girl, 14 or so, rushed out into the cold. She was aware that her parents could have cared less if she was there or not…she didn't help with the family

Skye and Jaron's First Christmas   "How does this look?" Jaron stepped away from the loveseat. "Any better?"
   Skye shook her head. They had moved into their new home - the owls first palace some hundred odd years old - some weeks ago but found decorating problematic. The way the place had grown was an architectural marvel but not fit for furnishings of the new century. Most of the common area rooms were massive and there were so many rooms in general that styling them all would be quite the challenge. Weather had been another problem: glass windows and doors had to be made special to keep out rain, snow, and cold winds. The couple had dressed the
A Guardian's Christmas part 3Part 3

 The week passed. The Guardian saw no sign of his friend unless in passing and he heard no children talking of this human fey. Kiirn had not come by. He had not sent word to the young Guardian, nor had little Abeila seen him in that time.
  Turner was feeling rather uneasy. He had promptly gotten rid of Kiirn's letter. Of course he did so by piecing it back together, rewriting it... And mailing it off. He wasn't sure what possessed him to do such a stupid thing, but he had and addressed it in his own name. If the human military attacked their island it would be his fault. The Guardian held that thought like he would a
A Guardian's ChristmasPart 2

  Kiirn was dressed in a blinding shade of hot pink. Pink pantaloons, pink peacoat, pink nightcap. And all of it trimmed in fluffy white pillow fluff. His feet were covered in oversized black boots and around his waist was a black belt. The whole thing was retched. But Kriin was smiling. What was wrong with this man?
  "Do you like it?" Kiirn beamed.
  "Do I have to?" Turner shook his head. "Look at you. What foolishness have you gotten into now?"
  The slightly older man kicked at a drift of snow, looking just like a dejected child. "I thought you would understand. I am Saint Mark! Or, no...

Hug A Giant Day!!!!

:icontwingiants:

     Turner couldn't understand what the girl was going. Dressed the way she was in bright pink, Jenna was far too easy to spot against her green surroundings. Yet she stalked around as though perfectly invisible. Too add to the human's failed camouflage she was giggling obsessively. Turner severely hoped she was not trying to sneak up and scare him.
     How does she keep getting across the Fence?
     As loud as she was being, the young man decided there was no need to bring her out into the open and ruin her fun. He lay back in the cool grass, enjoying the feel of the sun against his bare chest. Above him, strands of clouds gently floated in the sea of sky, decorating the otherwise monotonous surface. He inhaled the scent of the flowers which covered the land around him. This was peace, relaxation, and calm that he needed. Perhaps not completely quiet with the giggling girl running around, but she was no bother to him. Fully intending to rest so long as possible, Turner closed his eyes. He was just about lulled to sleep when something plopped onto his face, pulling a surprised yell from him. Bolting into an upright position, he pulled the human off of his nose.
     "Jenna! By the Prince's Lull what's wrong with you?!"
     Jenna's eyes were wide, but not with fear. "I've had a sucky day at school - stupid Bobby Lee dropped back to second grade and pulled my hair and my bully brother was making faces at me in math when the teacher wasn't looking 'cause he knows I can't do anything back to him in school - and thought about coming to see you."
     "Eventful." Turner muttered. "And what do you want me to do about it?"
     "Hug?" Jenna held out her arms. "Please?"
     The young man couldn't help but to smile as he shifted the girl into a gentle cuddle. Her small body was cool against his skin in a pleasant sort of way and both her curly hair and fabric of her dress soft on his chest. He could feel her arms reaching to wrap around him.
     "You know better then to sneak across the Fence, Jenna, without it being some serious reason. And you could use some work on your stealth. But you did have a hard day." Turner looked down at her. "How this?"
     "Great. You have no idea how badly I needed this." she beamed up at him. "But Turner…."
     "Yes Jenna?"
     "You scream like a girl."
     "You're feeling better." The Guardian set her down. "Go home!"
