“Salt water” by Grace Kelley

Salt. Water. Salt water.  Salt water itself doesn't smell like anything, it's what in the salt water that gives it the smell. Whatever is in the salt water is stale and sulphury. I don't know what in the water that gives it that strange smell. Maybe its dead fish, bacteria or something entirely else. I don't really know, but it's thought provoking. <...

“What are we thinking?” by Grace Kelley

Three teens stood outside the mansion, it had been abandoned for ten years now and no one was willing to buy it, but no one knew why. One of the boys walked over to the for sale sign that seemed to be replaced recently, the house never seemed to get anything replaced besides this sign.  The boy kicked the sign down before glancing back at the girl holding a bag, he watched her reach into her bag before br...

“The loop ends, kinda” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #99

The longest day that never ends, well I would like to say it's me sitting in a classroom, but it's not school time, it's summer time. I could say it's the long summer nights spent awake looking up at the stars, but it's not, the longest day of the year, the day that never ends, is well today. Not your today, my today, it would be your maybe three years ago today, but for me it's been the same summer day o...

“Dead Trip ” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #99

I’m on a summer road trip, but the only difference is that instead of a nice air conditioned car of sorts, I’m walking on the hot road, underneath the hot summer sun, so a trip yes, a road yes, just not the type of road trip you would think. I am not alone, I am with my worst enemy, can people have worse enemies? Yes, yes they can and this person is the worst, she is awful, but why am I with her because w...

“Remembering Grandma's words ” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #99

Honestly meeting that girl, Cianna after getting beaten to a pulp was a surprise, because she didn't just leave me to rot, but she did remind me of what my grandma had said so many summer nights ago, my grandma was known for being a tad crazy before she passed, but I remember the last thing she had told me. It had been a cool summer night with lightning bugs filling the sky, we had lemonade and cookies an...

“Apparently my new best friend ” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #99

Watching the sun come up was incredible, watching the colors spread out and the gold light hit my skin, it felt incredible, I looked at Miles, who apparently shall be my new best friend. He doesn’t know that yet, but he will.I got up and began to shove things into my bag and got up. Sleeping outside wasn't bad, I reached into my bag and grabbed some roots to chew on, I walked over to Miles and kneeled down, poking him in the shoulder, “Miles are you awake? How are you feeling? Miles wake up” he groaned as he swatted...

“Light is home” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #99

The sun was dangerous, the light that would seep through and my people would fear it and be something to avoid at all cost, we were told if we were to go into the light we would melt like the wings of Icarus who was the son of Daedalus a skillful craftsman.   I didn’t understand why we would melt, I wasn't made out of wax, well I was pretty sure I wasn't made out of wax, but I lived in a dark place, hardl...

“The River ” by Grace Kelley

Submitted to Contest #98

My town was next to a river, a winding, never ending river that was wide and deep. We weren't allowed to go near it, some of the people in my town say if we were to go too close we would drown and be in pain. Maybe I should have listened because I did drown, but didn’t die. Would I be sorry for leaving to the river, maybe. I did not die, I had fallen in, I had hit the bottom of the rocky river below, it w...
