I hear with my eyes more than my ears. When I look at someone, it’s like there soul spills out through their eyes, and their life story is displayed in the mixture of colors that pigments the iris. I always found it weird how I can hear through the mere sight of someone’s movements or the shakiness in their breathe. I found it weird how I could tell someone’s mood by just looking at their face and...

“Maya, you really need to have fun sometimes!,” Lila McConnell added.

“Guys, I’m sorry, but I really need to study,” Maya Thompson said apologetically. “Maybe next time.” Maya heard her other friend Nora Lewis scoff.

“It’s always next time,” Nora muttered. “But whatever....

As my S/O challenged me to an art competition, I knew I wasn’t going to win. They’ve been into art since they were a kid. I haven’t lifted a paintbrush for decades. But as my pencil slowly glided across the paper, I knew what I had to do. All I had to do was imagine it in my mind, look at it, and copy every single detail. I didn’t know anything about color theory, but I hoped it’d still be good en...

My night was going so well until I met her, the girl with the leather jacket and red hair.

How did I not see this before?

I guess I’ve always been a pretty straight and narrow guy. Never really breaking the rules fully and abiding by most of the laws set in place. Sure I’ve stolen the odd thing. Like when grocery stores finally put in those self check outs and only placed ONE cashier on a busy Saturday afternoon. You bet I failed to scan a full box of RX Bars retailed at $30. But this i...

“Dude. I have to show you something.”

That was Silas, my roommate of three years. I had no idea he was in the living room when I entered the apartment. When I turned the lights on and saw the excitement in his eyes, it was clear that he was waiting for me. Beyond that, it was creepy and weird, especially since he was sitting in the dark.

Silas sho...

“You seem… tense. Why are you here, Taylor?”

Harris frowned at the rapid stream of words, but turned to obey nonetheless. Taylor let her eyes, sparking flint, rove over the room. She keenly marked all signs of feminine c...

« it’s just a meringue » I say under my breath, bracing myself for another set of eggs to go wrong.

Charlie is watching the football in the living room. He’s blissfully unaware I’ve been falling apart. The easy and quick recipe my mother-in-law has served every Sunday since 1976. Did you know there are different meringue type? The French, the Italian, the Swiss… all with the same easy first step ...
