“Taking Time ” by Ella Kinnett

I knew that he had always thought about it, but I never thought he would make it a reality. Cam and that brilliant mind of his has really done it. He has made everything that I have ever dreamt of become a reality. That's only one of the reasons I fell deeply in love with him. He is smart and funny and so creative and when he has his heart set on something I love seeing the fire and inspiration in his eyes because you kn...

“Finally ” by Ella Kinnett

The blistering hot sun beats down on his bare back scorching him to what feels like his very core. He looks down at the dust on the dry, thirsty, ground and refrains from falling into it’s trap like all men who are dead have done. He stumbles down the much trodden path, who some dare to call a road, too exhausted to look in the shops to his left and right. He is distant from me, yet I still feel his pain radi...

“Only Three Weeks ” by Ella Kinnett

“I swear if I find you two… two.. hooligans making noise in this library again, then you will never hear the last of me! I am giving you both a three week suspension from the library!” The old library hag yelled at us as she marched away to go find others to howl at. What does a librarian expect? Two 15 year olds found a new comic book. It’s not like we weren't going to enjoy it. I guess people just have different ideas ...

Every year on my birthday since I was seven they always appeared on my doorstep, those bright red roses. They weren't from my mother or my father or any of my siblings nor did they appear on the door steps on their birthdays. Only mine.

“Same Place, Same Time ” by Ella Kinnett

“ Rory, did you hear that?” I ask, hearing glass shatter. She nods and we both rush to the kitchen hoping to see what happened. All we find is a broken plate shattered in pieces on the ground.. “It was the wind,” Rory said, sounding kind of disappointed. I feel like she’s always looking to save the world sometimes she just has to accept that she can’t. “Rory, do you ever think that…” I hesitate becau...

“Stronger, Smarter, and More Fit to Survive” by Ella Kinnett

“I want to go outside and see the sun. I want to be able to run for miles. Please can I go out for just a few minutes,” I say drawing out the words so my voice sounds even more desperate. “A.J. you know my answer. As your mother it’s my job to keep you safe and keeping you inside is the only solution for right now. I promise I want to go out just as much as you do but we can’t.” “Why not?! It's not fair th...

“Just Say Yes ” by Ella Kinnett

“Ready for Christmas Eve Jamie?” I ask, unable to keep the excitement from spilling out. “What is there to be ready for? It just means that Christmas is the next day and Christmas is just another day of the year. I wish you would stop making a big deal of it Charles. You have asked me if I am ready for tomorrow at least a billion times. It’s just like every other day of the year.” “Oh trust me, this ye...

“The Mutant Child” by Ella Kinnett

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

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

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

“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

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

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...
