In Another Life

Gabs😜

1 min read

Sometimes I imagine us in another life.

We’d be in the same grade, and we’d have more moments to talk every day. We wouldn’t have only seconds to convey our thoughts to each other, worrying about getting to class on time. I’d have the pleasure of looking into your eyes and seeing every wonderful though behind them.

We’d be in English class, or maybe Algebra. The hour and a half that passed wou...

Traitors Caught

Gabs😜

The guards threw us down against the marble floors like scrapped meat before the king. Tight chains bind our necks, hands, and ankles, making it impossible for us to struggle. I look over to the King’s Guard, to my ally, to my love, and he’s breathing heavily. He cannot keep his composure the way he used to.

“Look at what we have here!” The king boomed. He laughed from atop his gold throne, splay...

I don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers.

I will be as good as dead....

Surviving With The Inventor’s Daughter

Gabs😜

2 min read

In the semi-darkness, the pebbles on the ground look like coffee beans. It remind me of the smooth cacao drink my creator made just as I’d awaken every morning. He’d sip slowly while smiling under his mustache. Morning were brighter with him. But now that has been snuffed. He is gone and I don’t know where he is.

This pillar of heat and light, this fire, slowly warms Clementine’s canned food. Her...

The Very Hungry Duck

I smell blood on him.

It mingles with his cologne, giving it a subtle metallic tang.

I get up from our picnic, clutching tightly to my purse. Slowly, I reach for my pepper spray.

“Caroline, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, Jason. I just uh…am having a family emergency.”

“You’re horrible at lying, you know. Is it something I said? You can tell me.”

“No! No! It’s…” My heart lodges in my thro...

Happy Birthday To Me

When I bring the first forkful of cake to my lips, I taste victory. The strawberry flavor that spreads across my tastebuds reminds me to the fact that I’ve army crawled another year on this Earth. All the long, stretched days in my cramped, barren home led up to this. In spite of everything and everyone, it was worth it.

All my windows are open, and I can feel the eyes of every passerby looking i...

“I’m not what you think I am.”

I clasp my hand over her mouth and pull her further into the closet before she could utter more. Our seeker counts down: 3…2…1. We stumble through old shoe boxes, pass through curtains of shirts, and tuck ourself into a cramped corner surrounded by purses. Our wall of protection.

“Shut up, Kasey! Do you want them to find us?!” I whisper. “The game has only just st...

History’s Gift

Gabs😜

1 min read

I pour through every page with awe. It’s been years since I’ve cracked open a book, yet alone found the time to. There is so much information for me, so much I can learn.

So far, this has been the best birthday gift I’ve ever received. I lean back onto my pillow and hug the books to my chest. “This is beyond wonderful!” I cry out to no one in particular.

Avion’s footnotes are on almost every pa...

A Hasty Morning

Gabs😜

2 min read

I wake up before my alarm, and when my eyes shut, my brain runs with thoughts of her. She works the same shift as I do. She makes the eight hours slip through my fingers.

On the back of my chair, a black dress with daisies on it drapes over the top. I cannot see the nearly invisible seams of the small hole I closed days prior. Even with the pulling of putting it on, not a single stitch wavers, n...
