When Forever Ends

Submitted to Contest #43

At two she will speak. She will speak to her mother, and her mother will touch her face in admiration and love. She will raise her own small hands to her mother’s cheeks and beyond their own understanding, her father will stand aside and wonder why she cups her hands to the air like so.  At four she will paint her room blue, and beside her, her mother will paint with her. They share a favorite color, but that is not why she smiles. She smiles because her mother is next to her, and she loves her mother so much. At six she will pick sou...

The Secret of Clay

Submitted to Contest #42

Emmett set his phone down and rubbed his forehead. This was too much. How could it be true, when Allison had never called? It just wasn't possible. Across the room in her bouncer, Bella gave a soft sigh in her sleep. At least she was happy. Whenever Bella slept, Emmett saw it as a miracle. Bella was just at the point when she was beginning to sleep halfway through the night. Before, she had woken up every hour, and then it became two. Finally, she was up to three and then it became four. Four whole hours. That was when they started to not fe...

I ate a waffle from our new waffle maker, and brushed my teeth afterwards because Mom made me. Finally, I changed from my pajamas into an oversized T-shirt and gymnastics shorts. Afterwards, I kicked a soccer ball around in the front yard until Mom came out ...

Quarantine Goes Viral

Submitted to Contest #38

“Hey everyone!” I hear from the other room. I roll my eyes. Listening to my teen sister live broadcast all day long is getting old. Who wants to watch Samantha eat Rice Chex?“It’s Sammy here!”Another annoying thing about Samantha’s live broadcasting is that she calls herself “Sammy”. No one, not even her followers, or her best friends, or even me, has ever called her Sammy.“It’s Day 32 of COVID-19 Quarantine Live Broadcasting Posts, and I’m back today with another morning routine! Ooh, I see some of the live comments popping up already! Oh m...

The Cursed Checkerboard

Submitted to Contest #37

River sat on a rock with the chess board in front of her. She placed her chin in her hands and watched as the mist drifted across the bog ways off. Absentmindedly, she moved a chess piece and watched a few deer scamper across her path. She attempted halfheartedly to touch one, but it danced away before she could. The graceful movements made River a little jealous of the deer. She would love to move like that, so graciously and effortlessly. She watched the bog intently. She checked her watch, and wished her brother would show up so she could...
