Daybreak

Bobby Spina

The colorful array of fireworks had lit up the skies at the exact stroke of midnight, painting the vast blank canvas with a plethora of fiery paint that spread to each invisible corner of the night, until eventually disintegrating into the deep blackness of what was left of the sky. They had ended a few hours ago, and when they ended, the party ended, and everyone had drifted off into a deep sleep. Bodies scattered all over the house, some sleeping on the couch, others on the floor. The mixed smells of champagne and bubbling cider had been t...

Wanderlust

Bobby Spina

Submitted to Contest #90

I wasn't sure how I managed to get the only empty cabin on the train, let alone find it, especially when considering how abruptly crowded the train was with other folks who were diagnosed with a serious case of wanderlust. And yet, here I was, sitting comfortably on the cushiony seats made of a particular red fabric that smelled like the inside of a musty car. But I had been on the train long enough at this point that my nose was almost immune to it.I looked out the cabin window, my hazel eyes faintly reflecting off the glass. The English co...

Simply Spring

Bobby Spina

Submitted to Contest #86

There were a hundred hints of Spring in the air when I took my dog outside on this fine morning. The air itself was warm and comfortable, more so than it had been in months. It was refreshing and replenishing as I took a deep breath under the cozy March sunshine. I snuck a smile. This was my favorite time of year, where the weather was just right, and the wind seemed to hug you back. Spring was upon us, and with that, the days longer and warmer. The sun brighter and happier. The grass greener and fuller. And people's smiles reflected the joy...

Lost at Sea

Bobby Spina

Submitted to Contest #83

I emerge from the depths of the great blue sea, only to find that my clothes are torn and ragged, and that my left knee is bleeding. As I crawl upon the shore, breathing heavily, I notice I have arrived on a lonesome deserted island. The harsh sun nearly blinded me as I looked up at the sky. A parade of white puffy clouds quietly crept across the horizon, occasionally blocking the relentless sun. I then look back at the ocean. I spot floating planks of rusted broken wood pieces floating about, bobbing up and down in the water. What exactly h...

Bamboo

Bobby Spina

Submitted to Contest #78

How high does Bamboo grow? I wondered this, as I gazed in awe upon the green skyscrapers shattering the heavens above me and the rest of the grove. It was quite a sight to behold, especially during the early morning sunrise. But the funny thing was, only a fool would think to see sunlight shine in this perplexing forest, or at least during this time of day. The hellishly dense forest made it impossible to see even an ounce of sunlight slit its way through the trees; a living barrier in and of itself from the rest of the outside world. I en...

The Search

Bobby Spina

Submitted to Contest #78

I thought that I was really going to stick with my New Year's resolution this year, but yet again, not even a month into the new year, I gave up on myself once again. It was hard to keep your word; make a promise to yourself; and then let yourself down by not following through with it. It wasn't easy, that's for sure. Folks on television and online made it look so easy, but why wasn't it the same for me? Am I just not good enough for this? I often asked myself this question countlessly.So, I guess origami just wasn't my thing, but that was a...
