It was the end of my work shift, and I just wanted to get home. But of course, there had to be a torrential downpour JUST as I’m trying to leave.
I haven’t saved up enough for a car, so I usually take the bus. With the weather, I thought maybe I could take an Uber… but my phone is about 2% away from dead, and I don’t want to be in an Uber with no cellphone. What if I got kidnapped?!
I grabbed a m...
I'm stuck. Stuck in a hopeless position. The air is cold and stiff, thin and thick. The world is blue trees growing around me, rising through the ground. There's no escape for my eyes or mind. The trees thick icy-blue branches swirling around me. I walk in circles to try and escape the trap I've gotten myself into once again. Trees only growing taller and taller till they reach eachother. Their br...
I needed to get out of the house. When I felt this way, I took myself antique shopping. I browsed the shelves and would buy the first thing that called to me, and then add it to my glass cabinet in the living room. That day was no different - I grabbed a bottle of water and headed out the door. My favorite antique shop was nearby, so I walked and enjoyed the sun and the breeze after much too long ...
In this world frowning is not allowed. The president noticed everyone looked sad one day and decided to make it a law. He tried to make everyone happy, but it led to a different outcome.
I was getting ready to go to my mom’s funeral. I knew I couldn’t cry even though I really wanted to. My mom had been there for me on the worst of days and I’m not even allowed to properly mourn her.
Once I get ...
Kate looks at him half surprised, “Wait, what do you mean there was a hole there?”
“I MEAN there was a hole here,” he knocks on the wall causing a dull, hollow sound to echo on the other side. “It’s gone now. Yep, someone must’ve patched it right up.”
“Well, that’s impossible!” Kate exclaims, half chuckling and half trying to tell if he’s pulling her leg, “I mean, I keep hearing freaky shit comi...
If mirrors held memories,
could they not share them with me?
That surface that we only see ourselves in.
The only way to see our persona.
Yet, they never blink.
Never blink nor shed a tear the reflective crystal
essentially working 24/7 365.
For a mere payment of
insight.
While we curse what they show us,
insisting they must be falsifying an image,
or accusing it of being warped.

Rain pounded the window relentlessly as I threw yet another wet-wipe into the trashcan. 2 hours wasted doing my Halloween makeup all for nothing.
My little sister Mimi sat on my bed watching me with a permanent pout set on her face.
“Stop taking it off!” She whined. “We can still go trick-or-treating, we will just take an umbrella”
“No Mimi. I’m not getting sick just for some candy. We will try...
Empty. Vacant. Unoccupied. Bare. Blank. Desolate would describe his shallow eyes best.
Lonely. Saddened. Isolated. Forlorn. Desolate would describe his expression best.
Frightening. Intimidating. Horrifying. Scary. Desolate would describe what people think of him best.
But not me. I pity him. I have empathy.
What must have happened to him in the past to make him look this way?
Did his pretty la...
I had to get out of there. I just had to. You don’t understand, it was hell living in that house. I had no other choice. Children are supposed to wake up to the smell of breakfast. They’re supposed to see their dad kiss their mom before they head out for the day. Children are supposed to be wild and curious. They’re supposed to make up games and wrestle around with their siblings. That is what’s s...
