The day had felt like it was getting longer. We had been in the car for what felt like forever. I just wanted to stand up, and get my lazy legs to loosen up. I wanted to be there, and for it to feel like summer. I watched out the window as the sun slowly … Continue reading Sunset Into Summer

The sound of the trampoline I knew I wasn’t supposed to be on creaked in the dark, quiet world, the sound of the swing swinging back and forth while he pushed her front and back. Freedom.

I was gasping … Continue reading Breaking Ice

I’ve grown accustomed to hearing a certain ding from my computer, every time one of my friends messages me. Every time someone mentions my username, every time someone messages me personally, and not on a server. I’d almost grown fond of that sound. But there are and always will be exceptions. Today that sound felt … Continue reading The Fragile Thread of Digital Connections

“Oh no,” Max and I whispered in perfect synchrony as I got up off the floor. The vase was gone and all that was left was the base. The ceramic pieces were strewn about as if a cannon had been shot in a china shop. “Run!” I shouted. ——————————————————————————————————————— That day had begun like any … Continue reading The Vase Of Repentance

Angry was an understatement. And I wish I wasn’t as angry as I was, but when your chapstick goes missing, and you blame your sister, and she claims it’s her chapstick, but you know it’s really yours, and then you realize it actually is hers, you aren’t exactly bubbling with joy. I was on … Continue reading Chapstick
