Hey everyone! My name is Clare Wu, and I’m currently in grade 11 IB. This will actually be my third year writing for our school newspaper, and I’m super excited to share my new creative writing endeavors with the Axiom.

Yin and yang, night and day. Deep, dark shades of midnight black among the purest of white. Pieces, standing straight and proud, unmoving, unfeeling. A king – To be protected at all costs. The queen – to rule in his place. A board – made of obsidian and ivory, ornate but so much more than just a decoration.

Hi St. Robert! My name is Clare Wu, and I’m currently in grade 10 Pre-IB. This will be my second year writing for The Axiom, and I’m excited to explore new creative writing ideas. I like to keep active in the school community – other than the school newspaper, I am also involved with our HOSA and DECA chapters.

Bright sunlight bounces off broken glass, streaks of golden light illuminating the room. An empty manor abandoned by all except the plant life, cracked wood, broken windows, and branches extending into the once-great hall. Dust notes twirl and dance under the sunlight, but no sound breaks the silence. No birds sing, no leaves rustle. The silence here, in this ruined house of memories, is awkward and stilted, all too human in its unnaturalness.

A girl stands, alone and lost, looking down at the world beneath her feet, slowly crumbling away. Up here, with the harsh sound of the howling wind and the biting chill of the air, she can barely hear the sounds of death that emit from the destruction below, the clash of metal against bone, the pained screams of the damned. Amid the chaos, she sees the children, young and so out of place, with wide eyes and trembling hands, searching desperately for some kind of reprieve.
