50 one-shot challenge

[Stonefly]

This will be a thread to keep track with this challenge I decided to attempt.
The idea came to me while listening to one of my favorite songs and a few small writings ideas just happen to pop up in my head.
I will have 100 single words or phrases that I will be writing some sort of story based on the word, but the twist for this challenge is I will only be using my personal characters, such as my fursona and others that I have collected over the years.
Each post/story I will link the characters that are used just to make things easier.

Word list
Heathen- Family - Flower - Red - Work - Adventure - Ocean - Imagination - Loss - Love
Book - Music - Movie - Father - People - Holiday - Home - Children - Limited - Wounded
War - Authentic - Driving - Loyalty - King - Hero - Broken - Starvation - Healing - Hope
tattoo - Addiction - Flight - Sky - Anger - Death - Rain - Innocence - Dream - Waiting
Dawn - Gray - Rainbow - Lost - Nightmare - Photograph - History - secret - Lie - trust

I currently only have these 50 words, but I plan on adding more soon! These are just the first words that just came to mind when creating the list. IF you have any suggestions feel free to post or message me them! I would love to hear from others!
Any word that is the colour red means it has already been written about and can be found somewhere in this red.

All my characters can be found with the link below

Mardux - Chief - Lucas

I don't remember much of that day, only the screams from my mother and being torn away from her outreached arms. I hardly remember who my family was anymore, but the real question is do I want to remember? do I really care who they are now? Its been years and not once have they tried finding me or even reaching out to me in anyway. The most logical answer in my opinion was to cut them from my life for good. I changed my name, the city, heck even the country I live in. If they ever did find me I have a feeling they would be ashamed of what I have become, ashamed that their only son has become a monster.

I knew instantly that we were in trouble when I heard the sirens wailing in the distance. Clenching my fists together I looked over at the others and then back at the task in hand. Closing the last bag of cash I grabbed two of the bags and tossed them over my shoulder and barked at Chief and Lucas to do the same. Running out of the room we made our way to the back of the building hoping the cops missed the back exit where their car was sitting. Swinging the doors open without thinking I run out of the building first motioning for the other two to stay back quickly after to make sure the coast was clear for them. when I didn't see any cops around I gave them another hand single giving the okay and they came running out behind me towards our get away car. Myself and Lucas managed to jump into the car when sirens appeared around the corner and headed straight towards us. Growling I felt my shoulders tense and my bodies need to change into its feral form under the stress. don't you bloody dare boy, I will not let you win this time. I never got the chance to push down the gas, never got the chance to get out of our problem, Chief wasn't in the car and I never leave my men behind.

"Put your hands up and out of the car!" A cop shouted towards the group. Lucas was listening to the demands, and Chief was pinned down to the ground by two other cops so I had no choice but to listen. Slowly the cops moved towards our vehicle, their guns drawn and pointed straight at me. Great, they know who I am and what I am capable of. another growl escaped from the back of my throat and my hand tentatively moved towards the inside of my jacket for my gun. I knew if I pulled out my gun I would put Lucas and Chief in danger, but I was not in the mood to be sent to prison today. Clenching my fists around the gun handle I took a few breaths and released my death grip and put my hands in the air in defeat "Dammit Chief." It didn't take long before a cop pulled me out of the van and onto the ground, digging a bony knee right in my spine. the cuffs were placed around my wrists and the man began to rehearse my rights to me, but I simple ignore him. I knew how this worked and I knew what was going to happen so there was no need to pay attention.

Suddenly my head made contact against the hood of a cop car. Grunting on contact I couldn't help but mutter a few course words under my breath towards the cop. I glanced over to my left to see my boys Chief and Lucas in the same predicament as myself.
"Looks like you got yourself in a rather sticky situation here Mardux" the chief of police had my arms behind my back and was tightening the handcuffs around my wrists to show his dominance

I opened my mouth as if to say something to the officer standing directly in front of me, but paused for a moment just to fit in a sly grin "What can I say Sir, Were nothing but Heathens in this society."

Standing in front of him was a ghost or just a sick and twisted part of his mind playing tricks on him. From the stories he was told by his care takers they were mean't to be dead, yet here they are. I fought it for a moment, there is no way this could have been real and he knew coming back to Lochren was a mistake. There was nothing here but Ghosts and broken memories of his past.
Neither figure moved, they both seemed to be stuck staring at what they believed to be a horrible dream.
The emotions of the other lion was hard to keep up with, they seemed to be jumping from one thing to another. Shock, disbelief, horror, relief, pain, happiness?
Meanwhile he felt nothing. He still couldn't believe this was real, it had to be a horrible dream.

"How?"

He almost missed the question, he was trying to process all this. Their voice was just as he remember it, a comforting voice within a storm. The same voice that sang him to sleep at night and calmed his nightmares when he was a cub. The one to say 'I love you' every night before he slept.

"Y-you..How?"

They asked the same question and he was left speechless because he couldn't answer it himself. His mouth opened a few times as if to say something but nothing ever came out. Soon it was just an odd silent between them as they both tried to figure out what was going on.

"We..We watched you.."

They were unable to even form a proper sentence of their own, fumbling over their words and trying to figure out what to even say

"Die..He took you to the lake..You and your sister..You died"

The more they said the more all this felt real, if this was a dream why would it be trying to rationalize all this? Building the courage he took two steps forward closer to the lion. He was still unsure and fear was eating away at him terrified that this really was his mind playing a tormented trick on him. That him just being back on this planet was triggering these visions and dreams. Growing up they told him everyone died, that he was found alone and taken to be saved and healed from the disease that was eating away at his body. He wanted to take another stop closer but his body seemed frozen and disconnected from his mind. Both of them seemed to be frozen in time, neither wanted to take another step forward in fear that this was all just a dream.

"This..This isn't a dream is it?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but the words all seemed to be stuck in the back of his throat as if the world was playing a cruel joke on him. All of this was real. This was his mother. It felt like a tidal wave came crashing on him, different emotions and thoughts suddenly filled his head. It felt as if the weight of the world was put on his shoulders. With all the strength he could muster he finally spoke up

"Are you all alive?"

The pain and sorrow that flooded his mother eyes told him everything, others are dead. She didn't have to say anything as her head seemed to droop as she looked away from her son. Morgan took everything in, his mind felt as if it was going to explode with all the new information he just learned. Coming here was a mistake. While he got the answers, were they something he wanted to hear? Dread filled his soul and without a second thought he glanced at her as if to say sorry before he dashed off. His mother stood there watching as her once dead son ran away.

"I came believe you've come back to me"

The silence was deafening
The screams of a thousand muted voices ringing through the endless void. Each crying out, begging for the answer to a question they dare not ask. Pressure climbing as each tense moment passed, the silent pain that grew and tore through the desolate void of her mind. As time ticked by the hollow voices only seem to grow in strength, each one wrestling to best the other for dominance of this vacuous darkness. An haunting quiet that never granted a moment of peace.
The silence is hell.

Feelings of angst and worry lived at the front of her mind, her thoughts not yet free of the unknown memories of her past. It was a blank void, and no matter how long she searched she was never able to find the answer for any of the questions. Time continued to tick by but it never got clearer for her. It took everything in her strength to stop herself from going to the others and demanding them to tell her the whole truth. Even though she wanted the answers she knew that right now, her mind was in a broken state and she wasn't not sure if she would be able to survive what they might tell her.
Sitting alone in the room Jamie looked at her surroundings. The others have either gone out or went to sleep for the night. Now she sits alone, all the time in the world to go back into the dark place that is her mind. Digging through her back she pulls out a blade.
