“The Year After” by Emily K

Submitted to Contest #63

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire. Scarlet, orange, and gold hues glowed with the sun’s rays, located in small piles scattered all over the old mossy sidewalk. The deep blue sky hosted a few swatches of wispy, stretched clouds, weak attempts of masking the secrets of the void beyond. A fresh, crisp autumn breeze whispered through the air, my first taste of non-stale air in three years. Strands of my dark, tangled hair floated against the sides of my face, brushing lightly against my cheek until I pulled the strays back b...

“Fragile Memories” by Emily K

Submitted to Contest #55

“No, no, no,” I whispered frantically as I stepped over puddles of red wine and broken glass. My bed sheets were soiled, by who-knows-what, there were half-empty cups littered throughout my house, the couches were dirty and ripped, vases left shattered and the door unlocked. “This isn’t possible,” I muttered, pressing my hand to my aching head. I remembered last night. I was here the whole time, and nothing had happened. I knew I couldn’t have slept through a party this intense, I was an extremely light sleeper. “Looks like it worked, ...

I would blast music and open the window, letting the wind flood into my car and whip my hair around my face.

“Epochal Events” by Emily K

Submitted to Contest #50

A significant moment in one’s life is called an “epochal event.” The day you graduate from high school. The day you finally gather up the courage to ask that guy you’ve had a crush on if he wants to go on a date. The day you’re accepted into your dream job. Mine was a bit different. Don’t get me wrong, everyone has multiple epochal events, and so have I, but the most significant one… well, it happened three weeks ago, during a game of Truth or Dare. It had started off innocent enough, but it quickly helped shape the worst day of my life. ...

Author bio

Hi, I’m Emily. I used to be super into writing a few years ago, and only recently got back into it, thanks to the introduction of this website. I’m obsessed with music and constantly have my earbuds in. I wouldn’t say I’m the most active person alive, I’m more into art. I do enjoy watching sports, though. Mainly hockey. I hope you stay here with me on my little writing journey!
