Alexa Pei

Submitted to Contest #270

Maria loved to be in the kitchen. The small space was always filled with the sound of something: the sizzling of onions hitting hot oil, the bubbling of sauces simmering, and the occasional clatter of a spoon against a dish.

We were famished and desperate for some food, so we decided on a place we had never been to, the Cheesecake Factory. The advertisements online had piqued my interest, and I was so excited to try it.

Submitted to Contest #210

The Mysterious Disaster By Alexa P. I woke up with a startle. There was a loud bang in my house in the middle of the night. I brushed it off, thinking it was one of my parents, but the noise continued. I was creeped out and pulled my covers over my head. I knew everybody had woken up, so I went out to look....
