Cheating Surprises
I walk into a resteraunt, looking around for my husband, suddenly I spotted him with another woman- My best friend. Bingo. I’ve had a feeling that he has been cheating on me and this only gives me more assurance. I slowly crept up on their table, watching as he looked so animated while talking to her. I felt my heart breaking as I approached them. “So. What’s up?” I asked. My husband looked up at ...
I Couldn’t Hide Forever. But I Tried.
_1968 . . . . _
A petite woman in her early forties with long, thick dark brown hair that was pinned up into a braid, dark bronze skin, freckles, and a firm look in her gaze, was perched at the counter of a bar, the dimly lit area disguising parts of her appearance as she gently, and lightly tapped her margarita against the counter. Everything was loud and dirty and brown and crowded. The perfect...
The Outsider
I woke up without Damian by my side. The room was a bit colder as well. I missed him. Dang it. I wasn’t supposed to miss him. I was supposed to hate him. Wasn’t he related to the monsters that tried to kill me? Didn’t he have something to do with this? I tried to tell myself this, but I couldn’t bring myself to hate him.
Screw him.
There was no one in my room. No father, mother, sister, maid, ...
Deep Red
Sarah POV
Sarah slammed her locker shut. “Carly?” Sarah asked over the noise of the busy, flooded hallway. “Yup?” Carly replied.
She turned her head from her locker, her beautiful raven hair fell perfectly right below her shoulders. Her fair skin glistened in the hallways buzzing yellow florescent lighting.
“The party.. today..” I started. “It is a costume party.. right? I dont wanna show up l...
Mural
She’s not who she says she is
“She” is the standard
And it’s ruler at the same time
The drip-drop when skies fall
A plural, multi-media mural
Stop motion
Irresistible pause
Of all commotion
Twin eyes hit you like stars
Kinetic energy of a locomoative
A strain for pulpy fiction
Scream with no words
A taste of addiction
How is she like me
So unlikely
But im finding
Seconds binding

Something Here Is Wrong…
Juliana Robinson was different.
Very different.
On the outside, she looked like your average woman: brown hair that came down to about her shoulders, about five foot six in height, and a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
On the inside, however, is wherein the difference lied.
Aaron Euilberg blended in, so much so that he was practically invisible.
Aaron had a routine: he went to work ...
Don’t Let Them In
It was Saturday night and we were all just settling down to watch the movie when the doorbell rang. For a moment, we all looked around at each other. We were all here already and the pizza had been delivered 20 minutes ago. The silent question hung in the air: “who is at the door?” Maggie gave me a look, since I was closest to the door. “Ugh fine fine” I say, feigning annoyance to hide my nerves. ...
The Queen Of England
She says that she queen of England, but I don’t believe her. She’s only 30 years old, how could she be? And as far as I know they have a king at the moment. But she tells me that she’s the secret sister from prince Edward and Harry and that no one knows that. I’m starting to get intrigued by her story, especially when she grabs her phone and shows some pictures of the three of them together. Could...
