Truth Hurts

Ashley Smith

“We’re just too different.” It just won’t work out. I’m not trying to be mean, but I don’t want to be in a relationship with someone too different than myself. I wish I had dated my best friend, Carter as we are the same and not different, freaks like you are gross and different. I’m sorry but it’s for the best. As I closed my eyes, I knew I didn’t want you to be in my life. I blocked Alex and messaged Carter without any thinking. I pulled out my phone to see if Carter was free to hang out at my plac...

Losing My Religion

Ashley Smith

Submitted to Contest #177

I remember waking up, and thought it was a bad dream. I yelled for Ima, meaning mom in Hebrew. “My poor little baby.” She was sobbing. I was feeling upset, as Ima’s tears were dripping slowly onto my blue shirt. Slowly Ima was trying to say something, but it was hard for her to get the words completely out with all the tears and sadness she was feeling. Then, Ima took a breath, and stopped crying for a second and spoke, “my poor baby, we were forced to pack up and go to a prison, because we were Jewish, we weren’t all...

The Cure

Submitted to Contest #168

Nothing mattered anymore, and nothing was important anymore. There was no point in going to medical school, so I quit. In most cases, my parents are a good support system, but they do not understand how I feel. I felt my fingers getting numb, my face getting clenched, and I was on the verge of crying. Rather than continue with this, it would be better if I just ended it all. I am ugly, I don't deserve to be here, and it would be better if I just ended it. My thoughts were coming to life and whispered to me the word die. I heard Mila, my olde...

Submitted to Contest #65

Mommy, Mommy can I go out tonight? "Sweetie, where do you want to go"? Mommy, Mommy I want to get a ghost costume for Halloween tonight. "Why don't you go with your father when he comes home from work"? That is how it started. Hi! My name is Kenya and I am from Jamaica. I act like a toddler but I'm really only 10 years old. I live with my mama and my papa and they are always so nice to me, even though... sometimes they just treat me like I am younger. Mama homeschools me so she can save money and she also is a teacher. I like how Mama and Pa...

All for Hannah

“He has been caught, and he will be going to jail”! The police officer says to one of his fellow officers as he handcuffs me. As he does this, I yell “I cannot go to jail, I have a family! Oliver, I thought you were the good cop!” “Jimmy, we are all good cops. but it’s been your twentieth time being arrested. We’re taking you downtown now!” Oliver is the police officer of my small town I am unfortunately all too familiar with, though I dare to admit he’s the one I would prefer to deal with than some of the others. Oliver is definitely exaspe...

The Summer In A Tree House

Ashley Smith

Submitted to Contest #50

Whack! The colorful round object had a lasting impact on my skull. I turned to see Chloe, Joey, and my parents’ mouth hanging. As I stepped on the freshly mowed grass of our summer house, a large wooden space caught my eye. I slowly moved towards it to see that it was a treehouse. One that I have never seen before. “ Stop!” My neighbor exclaimed as I drew closer to the treehouse. The exclamation took me by surprise, but I shrugged it off and walked back into the house. My boring afternoon was spent having meaningless conversations wit...
