I finally get home, kick my heels off, and pick my best little boy, Rocco. As I’m loving on Rocco I take a look around my apartment. It’s small. Like really small. The smell of Nag Champa fills the air regularly. I look at the microwave clock, it’s 4:43 a.m.. I go to the refrigerator and pull out a beer. I don’t really care beer but I need something to take the edge off. The edge? Yes the fucking ...

space is infinite

silence is deathly

i fill it with words

that

are

not

yours

they could be

if i close my eyes

tight enough

stop the tears from spilling out

im lonely,

but i thought i was yours

who do i go to now...

I could smell the fresh-pine air in the twee woodland, and hear the crunch and crackle of the autumn leaves beneath my little wellies. Weak sunlight danced down from the heavens as I shuffled along the winding path, my four year old self completely alone.

I could hear the voices far ahead, occasionally bursting out into untuneful melodies and shouting at one another. I was only young but I was ol...

I have never been the kind of person to rebel, never been that one kid who the whole town knew to stay away from, In fact I’m the kid who sits at the front of the class has pretty good grades and keeps there head down in the hallways at my school. Yet here I am jammed in the back of a police car. It’s a funny story actually, a classic tale of a Harvard bound girl arrested for possession of .....

I don’t know what to do.. do I do what my heart wants me to do or what my head is telling me to do.. do I follow the dreams that I come up with every time I leave or do I stay “where I belong”.. do I take off and run away or do I stay here and lay in bed and think about doing it .. do I branch off and try to be my own person or stay where I feel “comfortable” .. am I scared to face reality or am I...

I stared at my two choices.

Beads of sweat ran down my temples as my eyes darted to and fro with indecision.

My sister Becky tapped her foot impatiently.

“Aw, c’mon Harold!!” She bounces up and down on the spot.

“Just pick onnnnnnne!!”

“But it’s so hard!”

“NO ITS NOT YOU IDIOT!”

“YEAH WELL FOR ME IT IS!” I screamed in absolute agony.

“Just hurry up you baby.” She rolled her eyes.

“I’m not a ba...

I dream big, I find a way to accomplish my dreams, but I met this boy. He is dreamy and someone who relates to me. Recently we got together, causing me to forget the long list of dreams I had. Noticing that I wasn’t fully the same, he finds out about my dreams. As who he is, he decided to put his life on hold for me. What a sweet guy! A few days went by and I realized that I am late. I tell him an...

There was fire all around

The sky dark yet bright

The blood on the ground

Shone into his eyes

This was his worst fear

Her hand laying limp

The end drawing near

She could not yet go

She turned her head toward him

Her last words on her lips

Looking him in the eyes as her own grew dim

She coughed out the few lines

Her heart slowed to a stop

Her trust in him and soul at peace

His eyes went to the...

The border separating me from the Mystic Valley and the real world was right in front of me. I was a fairy living in Mystic Valley. It was my 21st birthday and I was given the choice everyone was given at my age. Do I stay as and be a teacher in Mystic Valley, or get rid of my wings and be a normal person in the real world, helping the humans to do good, not evil. I did not want to leave ...

Jerry’s enemy was trying to beat him, but he knew something his enemy, Tanner, didn’t. Behind Jerry was a vast desert that stretched miles across the country. But behind his enemy was a hundred-foot deep cliff. Should Jerry tell him? They were fighting for hours, and suddenly Tanner slipped on a rock and fell into the cliff. Jerry was frightened. He extended his arm. The enemy grabbed on, looking ...
