Echo’s Folly

Rosaline

2 min read

He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

Dark, chestnut hair swept elegantly over his brow. Head held high, his olive brown face glimmered in the sunlight, flawless as a chiseled stone statue. His eyelashes were full and long, his nose straight and refined, and the curve of his soft smile formed a perfect outline of Cupid’s famous bow. She stared at him from behind the green, blossomin...

Troubled Waters

Rosaline

Alone, Alexander sat on the sad, rickety dock, his head bowed like an angel’s and his feet dangling off the edge. Cold water settled between the spaces of his toes, turning his soft skin to prunes and causing his knees to shake from the chill. Anxious clouds churned above him; threatening a storm.

He shivered.

Deep water had never been a problem for him—in fact, he would even say it was a bit ...

Friendship Bracelets

His best friend was beautiful.

Dark curls tickled her ears, reaching toward her chin as she leaned carelessly back in her chair. Arms crossed and covering the January-pale blue of her knit sweater vest, she showed off her wristfuls of friendship bracelets, made all the more visible by the rolled-up sleeves of her white-collared button down. Her black converse were embroidered with flowers and f...

Snow Globe

The air was laced with a stinging cold he could feel burn in the chambers of his lungs. Lost and lonely, he dragged himself through the knee-deep swamp of snow. He had no sense of direction as he trudged on—there were no destinations to reach there, in that frostbitten desert—but going forward was better than going nowhere.

Infinite miles stretched identically every way he turned in a way that ...

The wind blows my hair. I’m standing on the edge again, my torn, off-white dress billowing out around me. A tunnel of blinding, bright light shines before me, beckoning me like a lullaby, and I swear I would cry if I still could. Legs straining, teeth clenched, I try to fight the heavy gusts, to reach out and touch that sweet sunlight, behind which I know paradise waits.

I am so close. I can ...

The fractals first appear an hour after the strike, like the pristine edges of snowflakes stained into skin.

_There was a storm. The thunder made the house shake._

Running down her arms like rivers, they branch out into smaller and smaller segments. Nature’s tattoos, the fossil of an electric charge.

_The phone rung, quivering in its hook on the wall._

Lightning’s flowers, the nurse calls t...

A Bitter Glory

The day of the great feast, no one noticed the grieving girl.

Peeking out from behind a heavy window curtain, she stood alone, stubborn eyes watching like a snake. Silently, she took in the guests’ Jack-O-Lantern grins, their savage cheers, their stampeding applause. An ugly celebration. She straightened her spine, lips quivering, iron jaw set. The worst part, she thought, was not even that t...

Sky Of Fire

The sun is dying.

It lies sunken and dull at the horizon, in a pool of blood. Charred clouds encircle its fallen form, weaving it a dark, spangled shroud. I cry out, forcing myself to press forward into the fire, despite the throbbing pain in my left leg. Dear God, how it hurts. The air is hot and thick as mud. It burns bright in my lungs, though the night grows dimmer and dimmer with each p...

Every single year, their questions remain the same.

So do my answers. And so does this godawful food. Boiled green beans and overcooked cabbage and a side of soggy mashed potatoes. How is it even possible to mess up mashed potatoes? That’s one of the most foolproof foods out there, along with cheese pizza and vanilla ice cream. And yet, every year, they manage to make it so it’s both gluey...

Living Mist

Harsh, frigid air stung in Clara’s nose as she took in a sharp breath.

It was a dreary afternoon in late March, with the kind of ambiguous weather that caused people to question whether it was truly raining at that moment, or if the fat, dewy drops that brushed against their faces were simply an echo of a previous storm. A snakelike mist crept steadily over the blurry horizon, and wind whipped...
