Years ticked by after that moment, and I grew stronger while my Grandma grew weaker. However, despite all those years, I still visited her house often.

It had just been another one of those days. I had finished work and driven to her house, but as I stood outside her front door, something felt different, but I had no idea why. My fist hovered inches from the weathered wood, twitching slightly, al...

As a young child, I spent much of my time at my Grandma’s house while my parents worked. I used to always explore new and unfamiliar places, trying to discover the secrets they held within. But maybe that was my greatest flaw. After all, curiosity killed the cat.

I remember the day when I had found it. After wandering around my Grandma’s house for what seemed like the first time, I had stumbled a...

I sat, perched on a high tree branch, surveying the horizon. My stomach was satisfied with my night spent hunting, and I watched as the dark night sky lighten ever so slightly, signalling the coming of dawn.

A soft hoot exited my beck, as a I felt a sudden wave of fatigue. My moon-like eyes watered somewhat, and my heavy eyelids began to droop with the weight.

Sometimes I wondered what the worl...

It was the worst kind of day to be lost and alone on a mountain. I sat with my back against the stone wall and surveyed the scene below, as the rock’s rigid edges stabbed at my skin. The wall of the cave was arched, providing me with just enough room to sit without being peltered by the pouring rain. The howling wind swept through the canopies below me, disturbing the over-grown terrain and everyt...

My heart that was once filled with love,

Is now empty with loss.

A smile that once brought a smile to my own lips,

Now brings tears to my eyes at its loss.

A voice that once soothed me,

Now makes my own voice crack at its loss.

A laugh that once made the rest of the world melt away,

Now makes the world swallow me up at its loss.

My heart that was once filled with love,

Is now empty with lo...

The photographs weighed heavy in my hands, as my eyes brushed over the pictures I had taken on my travels across the globe. They reminded me of places so magnificent that it was almost too easy to capture their beauty in a single snapshot. There were buildings with so much history in their walls, that they were held together simply by the stories woven between their bricks, and mountains, which lo...

The scream pierced through the still night air, and I jolted awake, just as the sound tapered into silence. The sudden quiet echoed in my ears as I sat upright in bed, the blankets laying tangled around me at the abrupt disturbance.

I stared into the darkness of my room, eyes wide, trying to convince myself that what I heard was just a figment of my imagination. I could hear my heart pounding, an...

How can something be so whole, so complete, and yet shatter in a heart beat? Splintering into thousands of pieces with some so small and insignificant that they will never be found again. Those pieces, which had once shaped you, will be gone forever, never to be recovered. And all it takes is one moment, one regretted action, to lose pieces of yourself and never be whole again. And although you ca...
