I didn’t know. Says Rufus. sitting in the bus stop waiting to be brought back to his college apartment. He sits there in a state that can only be described as brain fog the selfish thoughts of a bad outcome are screeching in his mind like a band of wild monkeys. I wasn’t prepared to tell himself the freedom that life gives me is too much. We really have free will he asked himself. The thoughts spi...

Jeez, Charlie! I don’t know why you can’t understand that I was just trying to show you the magic. Did you know that Dad set up birds for us out here? Probably not because you’re always lost in your world of friends. “Friends, friends! I need more friends! More likes, please! I’m not needy at all!!”

And now his binoculars… my binoculars are busted! Dang it, Charlie!!! I want to break something of...

For the past week, I’ve had this strange feeling whenever I’d be around my boyfriend, Dean. He’s been acting weird, and not his usual weird.

I haven’t thought to mention it to him since, maybe he’s just stressed from the amount of work he has seeing as he spends a lot more time at work nowadays.

We’re currently sitting on the couch, watching and episode of friends on the tv in our shared apart...

It was really too bad that humans had such a knack for storytelling. With just their words, they could make anything sound as if it were the most precious, most unobtainable thing in the universe. Often, these exaggerations would be harmless: you would only end up buying a house or a car, or marrying someone you met online and had only met three months ago.

It became worse when humans began to te...

Why do we assume that misunderstandings lead to bad consequences? Is this a fair assumption? That's where I would like to start. The first thought that crossed my mind is the differing expectations between two main characters regarding what each person expects or desires from their relationship. What I find more interesting, however, is when a person misunderstands themselves. For example, I used ...

“JJ when I was talking to Carl about going out with “a friend” he didn’t even realize it could be one of my close friends like you or Sarah. He just assumed that it was a guy, he’s so jealous. He even got sooo mad he broke our flower pot!” Mia set back in her chair and connecting her cigarette to her mouth again.

Puff and blow. “I still love him tho.” Mia said in a tired voice. “Miss Sharlene next...

“I’ve had it with the Marshal kid, Stevie, I’ve just had it.” Sam said with frustration. He was never one for children, especially the children that played in our street. He said they were troubled, bad news. I, for one, never believed him.

“What’s your issue today, Sam?” I asked with my hand on my cocked hip. I half expected him to say something about the terrible mouths the street boys always ...

I don’t need to write a story about this. We’ve all been in a position, where our emotions and thoughts have guided us toward a path that actually isn’t as stable as it had seemed.

The love of my life is gone, finding a new path is harder than I have previously known

You have misunderstood, I’m sure. but I’m sure it has hurt more to be misunderstood. When you care about the person who has these t...

I had asked twice. The amount just didn’t seem right, so I asked a third time. What I heard was confirmed. Against my better judgment, I administered the medication. Seconds later, I knew I had been right to doubt the doctor. The patient seized uncontrollably before going completely lifeless. It wasn’t until after he called the time of death that the doctor and I discussed what happened. While I h...

I don’t know where to start. My mind is all over places as I picture Ayesha going out with another woman. The thought of it made me curl my fists, digging my untrimmed nails on my palms that it left red marks. Without hesitation, I wore my black hoodie that she gave me last month before I drove out of my house....
