“The Twins” by Evalina Williams

Submitted to Contest #103

One more box of photos and I could walk away from my mother, her home, and never look back. The sorting would go quickly, I wanted none of my mothers, but I longed for one of my father. Thousands of pictures and still not one to be found. One picture after another was simply tossed into the garbage beside me. A picture of two toddlers grabbed my attention I knew one was me but had no idea who the other child was. I flip...

“The order of the red snake ” by Evalina Williams

Submitted to Contest #55

“Lessons” by Evalina Williams

Submitted to Contest #47

Another toilet scrubbed, another bed made, you are beyond thankful that this is your final room.

Each day you wake thinking today would be the day I will get use to this, each day you are wrong.
