The hotel bar was class personified; shiny brass features, sleek leather seats, soft, low lighting. I sipped my tequila soda, the condensation on it running down the length of the crystal whiskey glass, gently landing on my laptop keyboard.
The allure of the soft jazz music and enjoyable atmosphere had been too much to resist when I had returned, exhausted, from the end of a long day of conferen...
I watched as a new person stepped onto the stage. The music started as she sang karaoke, it didn’t sound particularly lovely.
I noticed a girl, probably fourteen or fifteen, walking down the row of chairs toward me. Well, I thought toward me. She was walking behind my chair toward our parish’s group.
The girl immediately started to sing and dance with the others. Her voice was a little pitchy an...
Here I was buyin some fruit for the week when I spot a couple kissin by the big tree in town square. There’s a legend that if you kiss under that tree you’ll be together forever, how sweet.
The two look like they’ve seen things, the man had some huge scars on his face and looked partly blind from some explosion. The shorter girl had a cybernetic right leg from her knee down and her hair was slight...
The café buzzed with the usual morning chatter, the clinking of cups, and the soft hum of conversation. I sat by the window, nursing a cappuccino and watching the world go by. That's when I noticed them.
They were seated at a small table in the corner, a man and a woman, lost in their own world. She had a laugh that seemed to light up the room, and he watched her with a tenderness that was palpab...
I like the way you kiss me
Cherry chapstick on your lips
I like the way you taste
Refreshing like peppermint
I like the way you say my name
How you write it down on everything
Your journal speaks volumes about us
Like the way you hold me
Tight in your arms
Safe enough to melt
Like butter popcorn,
lightly salted with a hint of cheese
You are my favorite movie
Keep all the action and hold the dr...
I’d been in hospital, but I didn’t know why. My parents told me I’d had a fall and had gone into a coma. All I remember from my trip was seeing God, and I had wings. There was a boy, he told me, that was waiting for me. With me everyday, holding my hand. But why don’t I remember?
I walked out of my apartment and down the sunny sidewalk of Cornwall. I felt weird, like I’d been reborn but my soul w...
Jacob and I stepped out of the ferris wheel and looked around.
“So, what should we do now?” I asked, glancing around at the array of midway rides, carnival games and junk food stands that surrounded them.
Jacob eyed the huge circus tent that stood tall a few hundred meters to their left. “Hmm… I saw on the sign that they have a sword-swallower and live animals.”
I roll eyes at my boyfriend’s c...
“Mommy why are they smashing their faces together and tugging each others hair. Are they fighting?”
”Ugh, teenagers. They are kissing very inappropriately.”
”Ewwwww kissing grosss. YOU COULD GET COVID OR GET SENT IN TIME OUT!”
”Shhhhh honey lets go.”

”So what happened today?”
”Some six-year-old yelled at me to stop kissing. 😑”...
I love living in England but I hate the weather. All this rain just sucks. I duck deeper under my umbrella.
In front of me I see a guy hurrying through the rain as well. Suddenly he stops. He seems to stare at the girl running towards us. She stops right before him.
As I get closer I see them talking and the guy suddenly wraps his arms around her and spins her around in the rain.
After passing ...
I walk home alone, clutching my arms to my chest and trying not to cry. I walk home alone everyday, nothings changed but today I notice reality. I realized that I don’t have anyone to take me home. I don’t have a boy to hold me or walk beside me making sure I feel safe. No one who would give up everything to be with me. That’s all that I could think of as I walked home.
I looked to my rig...
