I look at her beautiful eyes..and her slightly red nose..then I look at the sky outside it is filled with gray and white space..just like the roads. Its so beautiful..so peaceful..everything would have been perfect if Elle hadnβt got sick..if I hadnβt pushed her away she wouldnβt be coughing and sneezing. I now I curse the breezy air..for it caused my wife this sick cold. β¦ Dang it!

To my Dear kids and Grandkids~Hello its Grandma Thora, or mama to my precious children. Youβve all grown up so much. My dear dear grand kids, I know many of you have never met me and it breaks my heart that the day you see me will be in my cold shell which carried my long gone soul. Iβve always wondered why you never visited me, I started you, I built you in my stomach for 9 months. I begged for money everyday just to give you, my precious children a future. I became rich! I got you into the best schoolsβ¦but yet, I guess it was never enough....
βBen I-β I say as I start leaning toward him..Iβm going to suck up my pride and do it. He looks at me with raised eyebrows, confused..then I guess he gets the gist and his eyes soften. He leans in just a little..and- *Ring- Ring- Ring*β¦..*Ring- Ring- Ring* That annoying noise, rings from the counter ruining the mood, again. I bite my lip and pull away. We havenβt kissed at all since that day, and I donβt know why but I want him to do it again..its been 3 days..and weβve been awkwardly trying to figure out our feelings for one another. βSorry...

Everyone eventually leaves, yeah maybe not now but soon, later they all leave. They leave, We leave, I leave. It's a cycle, a sad one, but its the truth .. βOh my goodness your going to love her, Athena..β Lily says. βTiffany is the best, the besstt!β smacking my arm over and over. βOkayβ I say moving away from her so that I am out of her range. Iβm not really a fan of βTiffanyβsβ. Not after that Tiffany. βWhat are you glaring at??β Lily says looking around. βOmg is she here??β Lily says quickly gaping. βDoes my hair look good? Make up?β Lil...

"Can you keep a secret?""I'd gladly keep your secret Judy, write it down for me" my therapist says writing something down. She crosses her legs.I lean back in the long chair. βNo you canβt, your paid to receive answers from me youβll just give it to my parents right afterβ I say with laughter.βNo. I can assure you that everything you say will remain hereβ she says tapping her pen on her chin.βWith you?β I say quickly standing up going to the shelf.βOf courseβ she responds. I pull my hands against the books not touched for years. I tap on one...
"I'm sorry Elle, I lied to you"Why did I have to say that? Ugh whats wrong with me. Now I have to explain. Why am I hugging her too? Ever since I found out about my feelings I've been doing ridiculous things. Its like I have these urges that I just follow subconsciously. Its so hard to hold back, I've never felt this way.Well now I'm holding her to my chest, smelling her hair. How am I going to get out of this one. Elle grips my shirt as she hugs back."What do you mean 'lied'?" she says. I want to say something but- my mouth feels dry and wo...
They say, Love is natural, and that when you find someone you will know. But- that makes no sense. No one can explain love but yet you see so many people falling into it, and then they try to explain its the best thing that's ever happened to them even though they got hurt. I never got it, I truly never thought I would. .... So I'm married. Yes its a shock isn't it. Well long story short, our families have been feuding for years. I believe what started it was when our past, past generation. The Triton family which is mine, and the Thompson f...

My Popsicle melts and I let it..I don't care. I watch as another drip of the purple flavored falls twice this time in two places. My anger seems to grow with that. "Gah!" I yell throwing the Popsicle far far away. A couple looks at me like I'm crazy. "What?!" I scream. "Oh what I look crazy to you? Well keep walking sugar plums!" "Come on honey lets go.." the guy says directing the girl away. "Don't make me come over there! Cause best believe I will!" I yell at them when they keep side eyeing me. I stuff my hands in my pockets and walk the ...

The baby cried...it was red and plumpy. It continued to cry and cry..so I had no choice but to pick it up. "Hello?" I ask around. If the babies here..then there should be a mother. Hopefully. The mother couldn't have gone out in this storm right? So she should be here. "Um, your child- HELLO!" I yell looking around again. Why am I making excuses for this child. Its already clear. Abandoned. I wrap the lose cloth that seems so familiar to me around the baby. It cries louder, so I pull it closer to my chest. It suddenly stops, the crying stops...

I've always liked the night..its just something about that clouded night sky that makes my heart skip. And then there are the tiny sparkles that twinkle in the clear night sky. I smile upwards. There is no one here to disturb me, I don't need to act in anyway or impress anyone, because they are all in their homes, they wouldn't dare walk out here. Usually when I tell others my love for the night..they have this look on there face..a look of concern asking whether I am okay. It's sad when others can't see the beauty in things because of their...

I've been through a lot in my life but nothing beats the pressure of a waiting room. The waiting room is torture, a place where everyone is probably suffering, I like to call it; a place where its not all about me. Its just something about being stuffed in that room with everyone that makes everyone question survival. During my life time I've come here many times actually too many times for comfort. I've seen tears, I've seen blood, I've seen big bellies. Ever since I was young my mother has been terribly sick and not having someone else to ...
