Maria’s death was her own choice.

There was nothing I could do- it all happened too quickly, and my body took over. Eight days ago when I walked into our bedroom, I found the neighbor, Tony, thrusting under the sheets. I rushed over to the bedside and gripped his shoulders, ripping him off the top of my wife.

Tony’s eyes locked with mine, beads of sweat rolling down his fat body. He tried to ex...

Write what I think,

Many often say,

Yet art is but a concept,

An emotional display.

Interpretation is key,

To each poets piece,

Throughout its absence,

Art is ceased....

It wasn’t a stare-down… more of a moment of general curiosity. A burning passion to know more. As Tom gazed into the coyote’s eyes, he couldn’t help but see a fragment of himself. He shifted his hiking pack to his left shoulder. Not once did their gaze break… a connection of souls. A feeling of nostalgia rushed over Tom. He knew this animal. He knew it. He could feel it.

Tom set his pack down and...

A cold winters breeze sent a vibrating chill down Maria’s back. What was planned to be a quick summers walk had turned into a dangerous hike through the alpine mountain range. A series of heavy winds and bands of thick snowfall had disoriented her, pushing her down the South trail. Missing a sign pointing to the final turn towards her rental cabin, Maria was heading to her death.

She let out a mo...

“So… thank you for joining me here at the… the dining room table…”

“Uhm… your welcome? What did you want to talk about honey?”

I’ve known this moment has been coming for a long time now. Cynthia, my daughter, is sitting across from me, and my husband Robert is next to me. We’ve been called by Cynthia for some… “big, unexpected news.” Behold to her expectations, I know the exact words about to ru...

The morning dew on the fresh cut grass expelled a smell so vivid, it seems almost impossible to forget that day. Dark grey clouds loomed overhead, and a thick fog flooded my lungs with humidity. I sat on one side of the seesaw, alone at the playground. Always alone. Up and Down, Up and down. Each repetition caused the rusty joint to squeak.

As I bounced up and down on the seesaw, the dreary green...

“What the hell.” Said shame 1. “Pride, this is all your fault. You said that she liked Thomas back. Now were stuck here in this stupid little room with Anguish. She’s going to flood it with her god damn tears.” “HE DOES LIKE HIM.” Yelled Pride 2, reaching his neck over the cubicle wall.

Another day in the office means another day navigating Thomas’s feelings. As humanity developed, five function...

Knowing in your heart and soul,

A feeling that is true and old.

Drift further and further and further away,

Our bond won’t last another day.

Friendship, one not made to last,

We must move on, make it the past.

We tried and tried and tried to stay

But distance only continued to prey.

Best friends at one moment,

The next, our link potent.

“Can we at least please please try to stay in touch.”

“I th...

One. Blink.

“Hello?”

Two. Breathe.

“Hello? Is anyone there?”

One. Blink.

“What… where… where am I?” I said, a slight choke could be heard in my voice. Where was I? Everything was black. There was nothing. Nothing but pain.

My eyes felt as if they were being ripped from my skull. I opened my mouth to call for help again but the only thing that came out was a scream. Tears caressed my cheeks, ...

A choice was to be made.

Enigma was desperate- it was the only option left. He had to tell her. Amanda had to know who he was and he knew it, for she was the only one who could save humanity.

In the face of Motaba, Enigma was rendered useless. Super Strength and the ability to fly can help save lives but not stop a global pandemic. He stood in the center of a road, scanning his desolate surro...
