“The Mutant Child” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 07/14/2020

I hear evil laughter from right behind me. I need to ditch them fast. I fake a left and then turn right down a long road. I guess my training wasn't a waste after all, I think to myself. I chuckle loud enough for them to hear and keep running. So what, I’m a stupid, mutant mistake. Is that a reason to chase me so I can be dissected piece by piece in a smelly old lab? I was born in a lab. I’m just a science experiment. They messed up my DNA, that's not my fault. It’s not like I volunteered to be a weirdo who will never...

“Look to the Trees” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 07/13/2020

It was a blistering hot Florida summer day. I was starving and thirsty. There were no resources and the odds of me coming out alive was very slim. Something was going to eat me or I was going to die of starvation if I did not find shelter and something to eat soon.  “Look to the trees,” were my mother's last words before she was killed. Her and I lived out here alone for as long as I can remember though she neve...

“The Commercial” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 07/12/2020

I have always wanted to... more like needed to be an actress. Whether it be in a play, movie or even just a small commercial. I had to. There was no doubt that acting was my thing, even though I had never done it before (unless you count being in the comfort of my own home and only in front of my family). I enjoyed working backstage while the older students at my school would put on brilliant performances like Mcbeth and Hamlet. As I would watch every musical that I could strain my eyes to see, I would ache to be on the stage acting alon...

“Goodbye Questioning” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 07/05/2020

“Okay listen, they are going to take you back one by one so you will be alone when they question you, but while you wait for your turn you will be in the waiting room. When you go back, be confident and stand tall, be sure of yourself and speak clearly. Also do not talk to anyone unless you are spoken to. Not even people in the waiting room because they can get you into some big trouble. Look at me Hazel, you can’t mess ...

“Aspen the Hero” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 07/03/2020

I want to leave so bad, but I can’t, there's no way that I will get chosen. I have been in the same old tank looking at the same old faces for what has seemed to be years upon years. If any of you are wondering, it’s really boring doing the same thing every single day. Some fish who were said to be in the tank even longer than me, just didn't wake up one day. After a few days if they still were not awake they were taken ...

“My Worst Nightmare - Not so Bad” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/26/2020

First day of school. A.k.a the first day of the worst nightmare anyone could dream of, at least for me. Some kids look forward to school. Some look forward to the social part, and learning enthusiasts look forward to the actual material, but let me tell you. I look forward to none of it. We are only ten minutes into the first period and Mrs. Gibson will not stop talking. “This is my first year teaching here and I'm very excited." When is this period over? These kids are giving me nothing but blank stares. I need to make something up t...

You have been offered a nice job as ...

“Ten New Friends” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/24/2020

You walk over to the dessert shop and pick out the fanciest and most decorated cupcakes they have at the shop for the beach party that one of the popular girls is throwing tomorrow. You really hope that the girls will like them because they are very expensive but hopefully worth it. You are really surprised that you are invited because during school you would usually not classify as one of the ‘cool’ people, because of this, you are really nervous. It was kind of a last minute invitation but you are so grateful that you were invited. Mayb...

“Your Painful Picnic ” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/21/2020

“Hey Audrey,” you say to the girl that you have always wanted to talk to. You are afraid that she will ignore you. She turns your way, and you know that you have her attention. Satisfied, you continue. “Would you like to meet up at the park with me and some of my friends for a picnic tomorrow- Saturday-at twelve?” She agrees to your proposal, smiles, and walks away. You breathe a sigh of relief; it went better than you thought it would. You watch her walk all the way down the hallway and turn the corner. She’s so pretty, you say to yourse...

“London” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/21/2020

You know you have to say it at one point. He might hate you after but you have to tell him how you really feel. He thinks that you guys are just friends but you have to tell him that you want to be more than that, you need to be more than that. You know that you love him but you also know that if you don’t say anything he will never love you back, you will always stay friends and you know that you can’t keep doing that. ...

“The Dead Maple ” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/17/2020

“Bye mom! I’m driving to writing club!” “Bye, love you! Drive safely!”“I will! Love you too!” I walk out of the house relieved to be away from my mom. I mean I like spending time with her and I love her to the ends of the earth, it’s just that I need a break sometimes and ever since this horrible quarantine, I've hung out with no one but my mom and trust me, that would drive any teenage girl insane. Anyway, I’m going to book club for the first time. I’m kind of scared because I feel like all of these people ...

“The Differents” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted on 06/16/2020

I’m different, and everyone knows it, which makes it even harder for me to cope with. My parent, who is just my dad, tells me that being different is good and is something that I should be proud of, but I just don’t see how I can be proud of being weird. A little part of my brain thinks that it’s really cool to stand out but no one else thinks like that so neither does the rest of my brain. I wish for one day that I could be normal just like everyone else. I’m different in a lot of ways. I have dyslexia, ADHD, and social anxiety which get...
