Natasha moved in with her wealthy aunt Gloria. She didn’t have a place to go and her Aunt was her only hope to start a life and a new high school.

Aunt Gloria sighed with grief as she cooked dinner for them. Natasha sat o...

I gulped. I stared at the thousands of faces staring back at me. I stood on stage with a mic standing close to my face. It was eerily quiet and I didn’t know what to say. Wh- what’s the meaning of life? I gulped again, trying to construct words in my head. The meaning of life is simple, I said. It’s something us humans have to figure out through our journey in life. I thought what I said was prett...

“Geez Mark how many times do I have to tell you to take out the trash?” The manager said to Mark. The 15 year old kid was no where in sight of the pizza parlor. It was a late night and there weren’t any customers. “Mark?”

He said again. He walked by the freezer and it quickly swung open.

He placed a hand over his heart. “God you almost gave me a heart attack. And you still haven’t taken out ...

I like what I see

So many people in view

Juicy and meaty is how I like it

My tongue gets wetter

I had an impulse to eat them

Especially the children

They were small and vulnerable

I hid out of view

I have to change my name. No one knows I’m leaving everything behind. My beautiful wife sits in the kitchen with our incredible minded children. God I love them but I have to leave no matter what. My wife smiles at me and she wants me to sit down and have coffee with her. Sadly I couldn’t because I was leaving in that moment. I smiled back at my wife for the last time. Hopefully one day she could ...

It speaks for me. I am somewhere deep down inside and I have no voice. There is nothing but darkness and a heart that beats. I can see my surroundings but I cannot control what I say or how I interact with others. She speaks and sounds like me from the outside but within she sounds nothing like me. I hear a monster. A demon that speaks for me. But there is nothing I can do about it. You wonder how...

Mia was standing by the ocean waves. The sun was setting as she stood barefoot in the sand. She clutched her teddy bear that was missing a black eye. She cried as she heard missiles and gun shooting in the village across from her. She began to hear harsh footsteps towards her but she didn’t flinch. Mia felt a hand touch her shoulder. In a small voice she said, “please don’t hurt me.”
