“#%+*$&..”

Her attention was fully absorbed in those clicks, for they directed her through the endless stream of the desert. If she missed a chirp, she would be sent off the path, doomed to wander aimlessly as a ghost, but there were other ways it directed ...
Worth It All
It never really stops hurting does it
It’s especially hard when you have to keep fighting
When you want to be done with it all
But you have to keep fighting
It’s exhausting
And when you stop
Well now here’s the real you
And I don’t like the real me
I don’t like the fake me either

That pain and hurt
That feeling of fear and emptiness
It haunts you

"That's a baby seal," Aria replied. She inched forward, shoes cutting through the soft sand, hands poised upward in defense. However, the baby seal didn't seem to pose a threat. It didn't seem to see the desert as a threat as we did. It blinked its eyelashes at the three of us, then rub...
Crossing a Continent
For days he trekked through the endless snow. His frostbitten toes holding on for dear life within his worn boots.
All hope was lost. He always knew Antarctica could be a hellish place, but he told himself it was worth it.
The first man to walk the length of the Antarctica continent. What a feat that would be.
But halfway all he wanted to do was give up. He barely remembered life before the sn...
Part 6. Sammy
Oh no, Charlotte thought. Not the desert again. I hate this dream.
But she couldn’t wake herself up so she’d have to endure it.
A few yards in front of her feet—she was still lying down as if in bed, with the covers and pillow in the sand instead of a mattress—a movement in the sand.
A head popped out, then a body. It was gray and had “Clearview High” stitched on the side of it. The body wri...
