I was paddling. I was in my small worn down boat as I came to a sudden stop. I felt something scrape against the left side of my boat. I look around me, confused as confused can be. I looked towards the shore of the lake and there they were. The people who have been hunting me down for days. My brain finally pieces together the puzzle. I begin paddling harder than I ever have before. I feel my min...

“Oh love..” the boy says grabbing the other boys face wiping his tears away.

“There’s no reason to cry love..”

“But..I love you but I can’t love you!” The sobbing boy says with a breathy voice.

“Who said you couldn’t?”

“The girl next door..” the boy says sobbing even more.

“What’s the girl next door gonna do?”

It has been 15 horrible years since my sun has risen. I’ve sat in the corner of my room, staring out the window waiting for it to click. Why was I here? Why was I like this? I slowly crawl out of the corner. I finally arrived to my bed after what seemed like hours. I grab the rope that I’ve been waiting to use for years out of the box under my bed.

I stood before the arch. It stood before me so tall and wise. It was so welcoming. Just like a lover on a stormy day. I brush my hand across the roses, feeling the soft petals hit my rough skin.

The one who was kille...

I began walking through the yard, as solemn as can be. When the dreadful arch stood before me. The woman stood before me with a sneaky grin. She reached out her hand and I went out with a spin....

I watched as the tiny bird was held by the children.

The beloved creature was cared for carefully.

The children beheld the tiny bird as it stood up to fly away.

The bird flew away, symbolizing freedom is to come but you must know what you need....

“Bye Oscar!” I wave as I run out the door forgetting it’s raining. I continue running not wanting to bother Oscar to ask for a umbrella. I hear footsteps running up behind me. “You do realize you soaking wet, right Leo?” My senses begin to come to me and I begin to shiver, feeling the cold rain fall down my face and onto my cloths. “No Oscar I really did not notice”

I laugh, seeing the smile sudd...

As I walk and walk my weight feels lifted as the gold specks float upon me. I feel the glow on my face and a warm presence near. I look up at the golden birds flying loops above the trees. I watch as the squirrels squint at the sparkling light. I watch as the forest comes to life in only a matter of seconds....
