“And here are your accommodations!” Said the cheery little bumble bee as she opened the door into the room. I always hated living in hives. No space, everyone is friendly to a creepy extent, and the walls were so thin you could everything anybody was saying. The little bumblebee with the poofy hair and the bright, glinting black eyes fluttered her wings. If she was expecting a tip or something, I ...

Swallow your anxiety, push it down, push it down. Sasha told herself this as she took deep breaths in and out, swallowing her anger, swallowing the lump in her throat, holding back her tears.

“You don’t have to talk to him.” Said Leo, trying to comfort her.

“If I don’t, then I’m the weak one. I’m the coward. I can’t let myself be that. He’s the coward.” She answered, hatred filling her every word...

“If watching cartoons has taught me anything, it’s that gravity doesn’t start working until you look down.” Ben chuckled, but I was not laughing.

“Nothing about this situation is funny to me.”

“Well, too bad! I’m making it funny, so deal with it.” I was trying not to look down, not because gravity would start working, but because I would probably have a panic attack if I did. We were hanging ont...

A stranger

Is no stranger.

To some, a friend.

To some, an enemy.

To all, a being who walks on the ground

And thinks thoughts.

Wretched thoughts or wise thoughts,

Murderous thoughts or hopeful thoughts,

None can say.

For we all think

In our own special way.

A man walking down the street

Has friends and family he is eager to meet.

Random or specific,

Important or not,

He knows where he is going...

“This isn’t what I wanted!”

“I know! You just have to trust me!” His fingers started to slip and the stormy, shifting sea below him made him even more terrified. He gripped the grass as Lydia grasped his arms, trying to hoist him up. “You’re not strong enough, Lydia!” He cried.

“Yes I am! I can pull you!” Tears tan down her cheeks as she desperately tried to pull him up. The dark clouds started t...

My breath is taken away,

As I watch the shadows grow close.

I scream, but even I can’t hear it.

The silence is worse

Then any noise ever heard.

When you open your mouth,

Are you silently screaming?

I wouldn’t know....

The towers of memories crumble to ashes.

The architecture tumbles, crawls,

Crashes.

Heart and hand built these walls.

Love and time must watch them fall.

Hatred devours like a fire,

Taking down every spire.

I watch it all go to hell,

I admire its wicked spell.

Weeping towers I built from sand.

They all die at my own hand.

What can I do to stop this destruction?

What can I do to save my ...

Driving in the rain had never been my favorite. I was always afraid I was going to go off the road. And when we were driving right next to the ocean, I was even more scared. We were far away from town and close to running out of gas.

“I knew I should have filled up when we stopped.” I said to myself. I looked over at my wife in the passengers seat. She had fallen asleep and was resting her head a...

See the poet,

Writing at his desk.

Singing songs of nonsense,

Thats what he does best....

“It’s an easy shot.”

“Take the shot!” The slender archer rested her arrow against her bow and pulled it back. Taking a deep breath, she aimed at the bulky knight across the battlefield and shot. The knight fell to the floor. The archer, smiling victoriously, walked over to her target.

“I never miss.” She said.

“Dang it!” Cried Connor as Nikki took his rook off the board.

“That was a bad move,...
