I like to experience emotions inside me. A lover of stories and rain and God, I am from Gallup, NM and have what most people like to call a ‘personality’.

The evolution process has taken over. “Modern” has become part of the past. A new normal has come, with stupidly amazing architecture and stupidly high prices. No one likes “simple” anymore. Everyone competes to see who’s house is the best. The coolest. Who has a secret door or a slide or a waterfall in their living room? Not me. I’ve got an aquarium. It’s my house, not my home....
My life has been great so far. I never seem to get hurt, emotionally or physically. Nothing bad ever seems to happen to me. My parents are still together, I have a beautiful girlfriend, I’m the captain of our national championship volleyball team, and I’ve got a hot meal waiting for me every time I come home.
People have noticed, too. I’ve become known as a bit of a good luck charm, and before m...
The kingdom of Rondankla has been under the rule of his father for millennia, and now it’s Alexander’s turn.
He soaks up the pleasantries of being king, Ordering his servants to do unnecessary things like peeling his grapes and fanning him with leaves. Taking a sip of his wine, Alexander thinks about what he will do tomorrow. Maybe he will order a charcuterie board.
Alexander, unfortunately, i...
ZANE•
He sprinted after her, only catching up when he reached the lake.
There she sat in the setting sun, her back facing him. He walked forward and sat next to her in the dewey grass. Tears stained her face.
“Why?” He asked her.
“I want to be a race car driver.”
“Not a jockey?”
“Nope.”
“Bruh.”...
ZANE•
He looked at her until she met his eyes. When she did, he smiled, but she didn’t smile back.
She looked away. Patted her thigh.

STELLA•
As she gives her speech, Stella keeps patting the knife strapped to her thigh. Making sure it’s there. Making sure she doesn’t second guess herself. As she finishes her speech, the audience claps. She looks for Zane, but when her eyes meet his, an...
STELLA•
Standing on the stage in a deep purple gown and a beautiful gold tiara, Stella looks out at awaiting faces. She is about to give her acceptance speech to Hightail Academy, the most prestigious riding academy in all of England. Her father, the duke, has just introduced her.
She puts a smile on her face, a bright look in her eyes. She has wanted to go to this academy since she was negativ...
The ceiling is bumpy. It has these little nubs sticking out of it. I create constellations between them in my head. The ceiling is white. The ceiling is boring.
I try to lift my head and look out the window.
Nope.
Not gonna happen? Ok, head. Be that way. Give me a searing headache Every. Single. Time.
Jerk....
Some people have laughs that are never the same. One day it’s high and breathy, the next it’s low and chuckle-ish. Some people snort or making choking sounds. Some giggle. Once, my friend Rey laughed like a monkey. I snorted and hysterically laughed at her laughing like a monkey. She laughed at me laughing at her laughing like a monkey. In doing so, she continued to laugh like a monkey. I proceede...
