A Change Of Plans

Gabs😜

1 min read

The dress fits me perfectly. It’s in my favorite color, and my blonde hair matches with the baby blue fabric. My makeup is minimal. Just one layer of lipgloss.

I should feel beautiful. Powerful even. But I don’t.

“Penny, it’s almost time to go!” From downstairs, my mother’s voice grows with impatience. The heel of her boot taps against the floor, punctuating her need for us to leave as soon as ...

The First Morning After

Like sand through a seive, her hands brush through my hair. The movement is swift, easy, with no knots tugging at my scalp. For my first morning after, I never expected such warmth, nor did I expect her hands to be so cold. But it was easy to pay no mind.

“I’m not hurting you, am I, Lilly?” Ophelia asks gently. Sleep still weighs against her, but the reparative task of brushing out the many knot...

When Leftie Is A Lot

Gabs😜

3 min read

I pull my hair in pigtails and wear my rainbow dress with pride. With the flick of a switch, I turn my fairy lights on, and the colors of my small fraction of the room come alight. The golden shine creeps to the other side, where muted colors of brown, green, and gray comingle where leftie resides. She is sitting up in her king sized bed, reading a dusty old book while wearing an old robe.

In Boredom

When you’re body sinks in

with nothing to do

I wish you’d let me hear your thoughts

The ideas that take up your space

That compensate for the lack of

Joy

Because then you’d entertain

My own colorless, calculating mind

And then I could join you in boredom too...

Organ Sabotage

I prayed this was one of my smaller mistakes when I had taken back the heart I’d lent him. He promised to love it as he loved me, but he was heading towards a different direction in his life. He wanted to move away from Oregon and to New York where he could become an artist, and he didn’t want to accidentally rob me. I accepted the end of this relationship without tears or grief. I thought my retu...

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.

For if I do, I will risk myself getting ripped from the ground.

I will be as good as dead....

Surviving With The Inventor’s Daughter

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...
