“A Quiet Sort of Happiness” by Gabbie S.

Submitted to Contest #105

Crack. That was the sound of my heart breaking. I can feel the fissures forming, the lines running through the middle in jagged formations. I’m happy for them, I really am, but their happiness came at a price. I was the one who paid it. I can hear the crowd roaring in my ears, but it feels muffled and muted as I stare at the two people on the platform in front of us. Tears start rolling down my cheeks and I can’t stop them. My first thought is to panic, I don’t want people to see me crying right now but then I realize. It doesn’t matter. I...

Submitted to Contest #90

I swayed side to side as the train continued on. Not that there was much room to sway. I was tucked in between two strangers and there was no other place to sit.

The smoke wasn’t the only dull thing in this word. The landscape outside the window was the color of ash, not a trace of green to be seen. My father always told me that the most valuable thing in life was the u...

“When You Were Here” by Gabbie S.

Submitted to Contest #89

A long time ago, when my hair was a golden brown and my skin full of an inner glow, I was given a choice. At the time it was an easy one. I could stay in the same dreary town I’d always known, or I could travel the world with the one person who truly mattered to me. The answer used to seem so obvious but now it’s not as simple and I wish I’d put more thought into my impulsive decision. Still, the few years that followed were some of the best of my life and though we did not have a fairy tale ending, I find myself still smiling each time I lo...

“The Calm After a Storm” by Gabbie S.

Submitted to Contest #77

On January 1st Cindy Rona Loper was stuck inside her office building. She was the only one there which wasn’t very surprising, as her co-workers had made a habit of having Cindy pick up their slack. She raised her head from the mountain of work to stare out the window and realized that it was snowing hard. It was a blizzard though that didn’t mean much. She already knew she would be stuck in this office for many more hours to come. Despondently, she slaved paper upon paper, resigned to the miserable state in which her life had taken place. &...
