sarah just couldn’t stop smiling. she and her boyfriend danny had just hosted a very successful dinner party for all their friends. the couple made steak, chicken, salad, stuffed bell peppers, and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. it had been exhausting, but worth it. there were absolutely no leftovers.

sarah made her way to the kitchen sink with a stack of plates. as she set them down, about...

“can we please go inside!” i said.

“no! the weather is to beautiful to stay inside!” logan exclaimed. rain fell in heavy sheets around us and he simply closed his eyes and let his face be washed. i walked towards him and connected our lips, and we shared a passionate kiss.

“i love you,” i said after we broke off. he opened his eyes and looked into mine.

“i love you, too.” we both smi...

“good night sweet girl,” melissa said.

“good night mommy!” lily exclaimed. her mother turned on her night light and walked out of the pink-walled room, leaving lily to sleep. melissa had just read lily her favorite story, alice in wonderland, and lily was anxious to read what happens next, even though she already knew.

as she nodded off, she pictured she was alice, falling down the rabbit hole...

“it felt so real, yet so magical!” i exclaimed. my mommy patted my arm as we reached our metal box. the nice lady in the funny shoes rolled me to the door on the magic spinny chair. she was so silly!

“my teethies hurt!” i yelled, yanking my mom’s arm.

“i know, sweetie. they took our your wisdom teeth.”

“they took them?! but they were mine!” i wailed. they couldn’t take my teethies with...

“come on, just do it!”

“no, have you never been in one of these? i’d rather eat that raw chicken.”

“it’s the rules, dude. you got this.”

lida, jon, beck, harry, georgie, and tina all stood in the men’s bathroom at an empty gas station. the group was playing truth or dare, and harry was dared to lick the bathroom floor.

“if you don’t do it, you’re disqualified,” lida reminded him. ...

a soft breeze tickled the face of grogoogagan, waking him from his slumber. he blinked a few times, suddenly being blinded by the sunlight. once his eyes adjusted, he saw that the sun had not yet gone down completely; he was up early. this was a good thing, for he could do his chores early and have the rest of the night to do whatever he liked.

grogoogagan rose onto his four legs, all covered...

“just grab it!” i said. my mom ran into the house and came back out with a flashdrive. we were on our way to school, and i had a presentation today. leave it to us to forget it halfway there. my mom ran back to the car and we sped off. she handed me the flashdrive, which i shoved into my backpack. unfortunately, i didn’t read what the label on the side said. if i had, i wouldn’t be in the situatio...

“gavin, dinner!” gavin’s mom yelled. gavin had just climbed into the attic after hearing a weird thumping noise above his room.

“coming!” he answered, walked towards the sound quicker. he clicked on the flashlight he had grabbed once the light from the hall wasn’t enough. the noise was getting louder as he moved farther into the attic. he finally spotted a chest sitting against the back wall....

“i’ve told you before. i don’t need your help.” i continued gathering my things, despite the protests of the creature in my window.

“you don’t understand, boy,” he growled. “this journey will be your undoing. you will perish alone. you need my help. i know that land better than any being. it is mine after all.”

“i don’t care! you’ve caused enough problems in my life! the drugs, the stealin...

humans are WEIRD. i mean, they’ve accomplished a lot of great things, but they do some weird shit down there on their planet. i live on the planet in front of them, venus. it’s great and all, but it’s so HOT. i wish i could experience the cold they have on earth. i think that it comes from a place called anratica? i think that's right.

anyway, i enjoy watching the humans on the thousands of c...
