I stare at her with a deep pain building in my throat. She crosses her thin arms and rolls her eyes at me, disgusted with my very presence. “I…made this for you…” my hands shake and I nervously give her a albeit poorly drawn card, that I tediously designed. The front of it was just a simple heart, but the inside I had written her my feelings:
“I love you, I will always love you, please tell me yo...
How do you find the perfect pet at Fogerum’s Giant Pet Emporium? A ten foot tall puppy would be too much to handle on walks, plus the poop pick up would be a nightmare. A cat would use your trees as a scratching post, and if it napped on the roof of your house it might cave in. You could ride on the back of a giant snake, but it may see your friends as a snack, and don’t even talk to me about the ...
Salads would be easier to eat now if it weren’t for the texture. I was devastated learning I’d never be able to enjoy a Big Mac again, a stupid condition I had developed last year took away my ability to taste food. My friend Farah told me I should look at the bright side of this, that I could drop the sixty extra pounds that have been literally weighing me down so much easier now. I did try to fo...
It really wasn’t that hard once I started, though I will admit I was scared to try at first. The boy was a close friend of mine, I invited him over to my house where we went to the basement for some privacy. He looked at me, surprise in his eyes, with a nervousness that I felt too. Our hearts beat rapidly, as I pulled off his shirt. “Don’t…stop” he said in between exasperated breaths. I smiled coy...
We feed off of each other, our spirits intermingled in a dance. We cling to that knowledge we have held onto since birth. We struggle to release the doubts we have come to interpret. I am at a loss of self, as are you, finding only where our bodies greet each other. We are but one of many in this race against time, against what inevitably will happen. Struggling to persevere every ounce of one ano...
I sit here waiting for him to marry me after all of these years. He will come, you will see. My bridal party and all of the guests have left, from the world before and this next. Even the priest could not display the level of patience I have, everyone is gone. Still, any moment he will walk down that isle ready to wed me with a full heart. Soon I will leave this overgrown grave, and will no longer...
I am desperate,
The agony is unbearable,
My grasp quenches the urge to tear this man apart,
A gentle breeze would be enough to persuade me otherwise,
Were I not so heavily set in place I might have given his death hasty aid already,
His eyes nearly roll into the back of his skull just on the cusp of death,
Yet still he receives enough oxygen to stay death’s hand,
The blistering sun shades me f...
There was a collective gasp of dread and concern. “I’m fine, it’s not my blood” I wiped it off of my face best I could as Jim and I bolted the door back up. Michael stepped out from behind Sarah “you weren’t bitten?” his little voice trembled. I bent down to meet his eyes “of course not, those things don’t like the taste of your old dad anyway, I’m too musty” I roughed up his hair as he took my wo...
Dear Diary
Geoffrey sat next to me at the park again today, we talked about Emily eating her boogers again, she’s so gross. We laughed, and sat there until his mom told him it was time to go home.
Dear Diary
Geoffrey and I watched a frog in the pond at recess. He helped me get a stick out of my hair. I won’t tell him I put it there for him to get hehe.
Emily ran by us and tried to see what we...
The lights cascade from branches elegantly as I finished setting the table.
Noble creatures from all seven realms would be in attendance, no one wanted to miss the union of Princess Amara Leafelle and Grey Jaspera.
I stepped back to admire my work.
Candles hugged the middle of the table warming the space from the cold.
I only prayed that the bride and groom would be pleased with the setting....
