A hollowed out man, a used up hulk, has a shared trait with all his peers; they are nothing now, nothing but the sum of all their fears. A tired old man, eyes frightfully glazed, looks out from under the hat he holds so dear. He owns nothing else now, nothing except the sum of all his fears. Fighting for God, for hatred, for love, for me, for truth, for life, for all those yesteryears. No one is left now, all that is left is the sum of all their fears. Gather yourself a soldier, a king, an...

Sicarii Academy’s brief winter vacation now over, the spring term had begun. The new student rankings were to be posted the following day, but Evangeline wasn’t one to wait for that sort of information—student rankings were one of the most important statistics used to determine future job acquisitions and thus were taken very seriously by all the students at the Academy. Most other students, however, were at least slightly more capable of controlling themselves when it came to the matter tha...

The brief winter vacation was over, and the spring term had begun. The new student rankings were to be posted the following day, but Evangeline wasn’t one to wait for that sort of information. With a bit of cajoling, she convinced Tancho and Eric to join her on a high-stakes trip into the faculty office complex. It was getting late, and the torches on the wall threw their shadows along the stone floor. They were getting close, and Evangeline motioned them in. “So far so good. Around this cor...

Poetry / american road
"As I, Burn into American highways’" Is the comma necessary after 'I'? Grammatically, I can't see any reason for it. I really liked the poem. It had a definite flow to it, and though certain lines seemed to long visually, they had enough internal rhythmic breaks that they could flow fine when spoken. In the third stanza I feel like you need to hypenate the phrases in the 2nd line.
Short Story / Going Nowhere
Locked
"Everything, everything happened in the past." I think this is sort of a weak line. I mean, if something happened, then of course it happened in the past... there is no way for things to 'happened' in the future. I don't think it really adds anything significant to the song. You spelled 'completely' wrong, and in the chorus 'breath' should be 'breathe', and 'astray' is one word. There's another place where you put breath instead of breathe too. Also, the line "they never last." is a bit weak ...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / What I'd Say
"And I didn’t what you wanted me to say." The sentence is missing a 'know' somewhere in there. Plenty of people I know suffered/suffer from substance abuse, and it's pretty tough. No one I care for romantically ever has, though, and that must be tougher. The parts of the journal entry that I can relate to the most involve the romance stuff, not the substance abuse. I'd have to say that most of the things you're describing sound an awful lot like high school to me, due to what I consider to be...
Nonsensical doesn't need to be hyphenated. In the second stanza, the first line should end with a comma. In the third stanza, the first line needs something to separate it from the rest of the story, maybe a dash or colon, or at least a comma. I liked the 'buy the people' bit, it was pretty witty, and fit right into the message of the poem. It's pretty much the punch line, and it's a good one.
