I, Georgia Olivia Mendoza, have made a mistake. A mistake that may follow me for the rest of my life- changing everything as I know it. But to talk about this mistake, I must first talk about somebody near and dear to my heart. Harold Chen is the love of my life. Um…or ‘was’, maybe. I mean, I still love him, but it’s totally possible he no longer loves me back…anyway, Harold and I have been dating for the last five years or so, ever since we graduated from college. That’s actually where we met- each realizing we liked the other, but not mak...

I remember the first time I tried to cook. In high school, I was really into this girl- a super smart, super funny girl that was only a little bit condescending (just the perfect amount! Huh? You have no idea what I mean? Hm, maybe that’s more of a personal thing). Anyway, I was really into this girl, and she was talking about not having any dinner plans one weekend, so I was like, “Hey, my parents aren’t home on Saturday! Maybe you can come over and I can whip something up for you!” Big mistake. Now, you might be thinking, “Well, did you a...

Lin coughed. His long, straight, raven-black hair shined in the light of the bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Normally, it would not have shone so brightly, but the hair had remained unwashed for days, natural grease and oils now coating his head with a radiant glow. Although he usually liked to stay clean, Lin had not been able to use the shower or bath often as of late- doctor’s orders. This young man was relatively tall, his full height was hidden by the blankets on the hospital bed on which he was laying. Across from the sickly Lin...

Dating apps are the worst. …okay, maybe they’re not the worst-worst. They’re definitely not as bad as losing a loved one, or a world tragedy, or getting stuck in thirteen consecutive red lights on the way to work. But they absolutely rank in the top ten…top fifteen? Ugh, whatever. A-ny-way, dating apps really suck- and I mean, really suck. One moment, you’re chatting with a nice guy and bam! They punctuate a sentence with a dick pic. Or there’s this lovely woman that all but has your heart and- unspeakable horror! Her smiles and blushes we...

Tick, tick. At this point in my life, the clock in my office was the most interesting thing in my world. The ticking sounds it made graced my dreams, filling my nights with bliss. The movements of the hands over the numbers were more captivating than the most attractive person I have ever laid eyes on. The shape was one of perfection- if all of the gods of all the myths were to combine their images into one, the beauty of that single holy being would still be dwarfed by the image of this clock. Unfortunately, the only reason this clock was ...

In our town, there were no heroes left. One by one, anyone with even the smallest ounce of courage departed, to protect those who lacked the courage to defend themselves. Even those with no strength, with nothing but bravado to their name, were willing to pick up a sword and fight the good Fight. But not I, nor my friends. Despite being of an appropriate age to give our lives for the cause, we remained in the safety of our homes; in the warmth of our beds. It would be easy to blame others for our cowardice. To say that our parents be...
