Boy, was I right

Whatever he had held in, snapped
He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I felt like I was on top of the world. My heart skipped a beat when he leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips. Will swatted at Darrell with the camera again, “Fin...

If I can't have you, no one can!

Shhh, everything is going to be fine
I woke up and saw Mr. Jones holding something on my stomach. I turned to see Will kneeling by my side and holding my hand. I could tell that he had been crying. All my friends were standing around me too, they had been crying too. I opened my mouth to ...

I needed him there
I didn’t know where I was, when I blinked my eyes open and looked over I saw my mom and dad talking to someone. She was holding a tissue in her hand and was crying like crazy. I realised it was a doctor and I was in the hospital. My dad looked ov...

Whos fault it is should be the least of our worries right now

Bee Eff Eff
Roy met me at the door to his apartment and let me in with shaking hands. Three bodies overlapped on his kitchen floor. He slammed the door behind me and words poured out of him. “I can’t believe you’re here. You really came. All thos...

Pull to Leap
I can make him do it. “No one can do that. It’s too far,” her own voice cooed, a melodious echo. I can make him do anything. Ripples of heat lapped up from the blacktop, the first warning signs of another long, hot Carolina Summer. Sw...

In the Basement Where She Belongs
J.R. came in from the field, but I could tell it hadn’t gone well. He threw open the screen door and stomped over the threshold, tossing his coat, hat and rifle in a heap on the settle. “No answer?” I asked, bracing for the response. ...

Empty Boxes
Our little group walked through her house. It was empty and cold and dead just like she was. We’d all been in her house before, known what it was like when she was alive. Instead of the bright and warm rooms, it was now resigned to white walls. It fe...

He, the Night.
I have stolen. I have killed. I have captured people’s wills. In the night their blood is spilled, by my hand, their lives beholden to my whim and grand design. Who has fortune? Gone it is. After planned analysis, reputations are maligned, for my...
