Even on her wedding day, Lucia was cloaked in black lace, a thick veil covering her pasty skin, making the joyous celebration appear to be more of a mournful end to her life than a fresh beginning. Of...
You rescued me from the toy store shelf, fourteen long years ago. You were special to me because, out of all the other teddy bears, you chose me. I remember your tiny hands pulling me down, and holdin...
The next day I don't arrive to school dreading it. I feel invincible. I walk through the hallways without my headphones. I hear every name people call me. All day I try not to let the comments get to ...
The next day schools goes by in a blur. Today, I don't pay as much attention to the name calling. My head is focused on five pm. To when I get to talk to Ava. I'm excited and nervous. I end up leaving...
He's standing there with his eyes pointed right at me You can see all the muscles tense in his body

The mirror had fogged; the bathroom door was closed and the condensed air filled the room in such a way that the space felt humid.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to be at the prom. Instead, I lay motionless in a hospital bed. My mom and Doctor Jay gazed at me through the glass in confusion. A week earlier, I w...
Every time I look at the dusking sky the shadowing blues
I could feel my pulse pounding all throughout my body- at my jaw, my wrist, my fingertips, my ears, and most importantly, my chest. I knew my face was bright red, and I didn't know how to hide it othe...
