“⤚Mirrors⤙” by 𝔘𝔤𝔬𝔠𝔥𝔦 𝔑.

I walk to the mirror combing my hair and then I tie it up in a high bun. And I then I smile. I walk out– “Luna! Don’t forget your phone” my mom calls out Okay. I get my phone and then I walk out the house. I’m moving out this fall, which is like 3 months from now. I’m going to college soon and I couldn’t be more excited, scared and genuinely everything in the book. BUT this I’m going to make the most of this summer so that means doing everything but staying at home doing nothing. I walk passed a big building with mirrors and I smile, have yo...

“Santa's Real∙” by 𝔘𝔤𝔬𝔠𝔥𝔦 𝔑.

Submitted to Contest #103

I look for a sign. Anything that will change my mind. Anything. I walk down the streets of New York same as everyone else. I know someone is out there thinking how beautiful this place is– Just give it a few years. When I first moved here, I was in awe of the high buildings. We never had building like these in the country side so it was always such a beauty. I always felt like the buildings would fall being how tall they were. I would go to the parks, filled with beautiful landmarks and the grass was always trimmed so nicely. My mouth wou...

Definitions ~ In Greek, Selene means ☾ In Ancient Rome, Aelia means ☀ ☀☾ Spotty and white. That’s the colors of the moon. Or was it gray? Looking at it here I can’t really tell. But it sure is beautiful, this is what I have been waiting for, this is what I wanted to see. The moon. The magnificent moon. Its a full circle tonight, and we are sitting right in front of it. How lucky are we to sit right in front of it! The ocean reflects the moon sending ripples through its body. The stars paint the black sky with yellow spots. I see a shooting s...

It was mid April and the trees were blooming, I still remember the park’s emptiness, its hard to believe that there was a time when that tree did not exist in that great park.But once that great tree was planted the leaves turned pink and flew with the wind bringing many people closer…That tree became a part of our memory in every season. That park not only became a beauty, no, in a way it became home.ღClaude and MaribelleღToday a young girl walked up to the tree, her hair blowing in the wind, she sat anxiously next to the huge cherry blosso...

Submitted to Contest #89

⥼2050⥽ I walk around in my boots, my legs scruff the dirt. I stuff my hands in my pockets as the cold air blows my skin. “Its been almost 23 years since that day.” I whisper to myself. “Yeah.” Mark says as he walks up behind me. We walk silently in the world that is not as it once was. There is dirt for miles, yet no plants have grown. There are a few trees but that's all there is…a few. We would grow them back but…all the seeds we put in the ground never seem to grow. They just die off. We have lots of storage for food since we knew this da...

Click goes the door and I immediately clench my shaky fists. I hold my breath as the door opens and I see her face. My caretaker, I guess, she brings me groceries and anything else I might need. “Morning Mr. P! Happy New year! 2021 is gonna be great I just know it!” she says as she drops my groceries on the table. “Ah…Happy New year.” its a new year already? “I got what you asked for! This should last the whole month. AND, I got you ya favorite ice cream since it is a new year.” “Thanks Lil, you really didn’t have too” “No problemmm, I wante...

The name of the girl was Noelle.With a swish of her hair she arose from the water, one might even believe she lived there underneath the stars.But despite all the rumors, Noelle was a simple human, a simple girl with the world in her eyes. Kindness on her hands and intelligence in her brain and determination filled her lips.Some stared in awe and whispered “there is no way a girl like this can be of this world.” “How can a girl with nothing claim to have no anger?” “she is a phony.” They whispered in jealousy but alas Noelle smiled with grac...

‹16 |2020| 11:59› «❀28❀» “I just want to die.” Air condition fills the air… through my nose… A pointy needle pokes our arm as wires trail around our body. But you smile. Before the clock hits 12 you turn to me and ask slowly- “What flowers do you want at your grave?” You had never asked me that question before usually you told me to hope…to live like you wanted, like we all wanted at some point. But its been 16 teen years, that dream has come and gone. I’m still here. “I…don’t know.” I responded, I have never thought of that question before....

My life is precious, everything about me is precious. My world, my job, my little computer. I enjoy them and I would rather nothing change. This is my time of peace, my joy, I love everything. The only problem is-There it is? Did you hear it? Did you hear that little tick that threatens my life. I turn and there it is, I take a step forward but it is right ahead. I smile and it smiles right back, I sleep and it wakes me up. I need to get away, I need to run, I can’t let it catch me- I can’t. All my life it watches me, even on my greatest day...

“It doesn’t count if you’re already planning your defeat” That’s the thought that went through my head as I sat there holding her in my arms, contemplating on whether I should go out there in that storm. “What if I died?” “What will happen to Elle if I just leave?” “What if I don’t get it?” “It doesn’t count if you’re already planning your defeat” When that thought came along I knew I had to go. … I KNOW, I’m a terrible person! I know it! Elle is gonna be so upset when she wakes up– if she wakes up that is. I am betting that she will not wak...

“Indescribable Like or Love? Part 5” by 𝔘𝔤𝔬𝔠𝔥𝔦 𝔑.

~Elle~I wake up feeling warmer than I did before I fell asleep. I pat around trying to feel around for Ben. He’s not there. My eyes blink open in surprise…ugh I feel like crap.Ben must have woke up earlier. I rub my stuffed up nose that I can barely smell out off, there is a huge mirror right in front of me and I look like a mess. Like, a mess. My hair is blown out of all proportions, my eyes have bags under them and my lips are cracked. Embarrassing.I groan and pull myself out of bed taking myself to the bathroom. I grab a rubber band tying...

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were seemed to be on fire that day…my first day of high school. … “Cathy Jane??” said Ms. Vero that early cold morning. The first day of Fall had begun. “You can call me C.J.” I replied abruptly like I always do when someone calls me by my full name. “Okay, C.J.” Ms. Vero said then moving on to the next person on the list. Class seemed to go by in a flash, that day. The hallways filled with kids with sweatshirts and huge sweaters. Fall has begun. Students have already found their group of friends, ma...
