This is All my Fault

Ivy Spade

“This is all my fault,” She smiled looking directly at me, her eyes bright red. “What do you mean-” I cut myself off as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. My forehead started sweating, a cold sweat. My throat became dry, I gasped for breath. Dizziness overwhelmed me. I slowly looked down a knife was lunged into my stomach, “Wha-at,” I cringed, “Why sister?” My vision went black.~*~Two Days Earlier~*~ “Momma!” My 12-year-old sister called. Mom stuck her head through the archway connecting the kitchen and hallway that led to everywhere else. “...

Do You Remember?

Ivy Spade

Dear long-lost Friend,Today is the day I change! Today is the day I finally write you this letter.I know we haven’t talked in a while. I miss you. I know, I know you don’t believe me. But do you remember the summer of 6th grade? When you told me you liked her? You told me her name, age, how long you were friends, you told me everything about her. I tried to get you to reach out to her, but you were too shy. What about the time when you begged me to stay up with you to play that game. What was it again? Was 'Totally Reliable Delivery Ser...

New Hightur

Submitted to Contest #85

New Hightur March 17, 2021 I was told by my therapist to start writing in a diary… So where to start? I just moved to a big city in Georgia called New Hightur. I live in an old apartment. If I am not mistaken, it was made in 1910. That’s over 100 years ago. Of course, they have remodeled it a couple of times. It isn’t anything special. It’s just a small apartment building with roughly 20 rooms. It was a huge deal when it first opened. It was the first apartment to open up in this city. March 30, 2021 I just got back from my session wit...

“Peaches!” Daddy called. I ran up to him. He is my best friend. I nuzzled him as he picked me up. He laughed and said, “Peaches are you hungry?” “Yes!” I exclaimed. He laughed and said, “I will take that as a yes.” He put me down and gave me some food. “Time to eat,” I said. He said a prayer and I copied him. “Yum! Daddy! You gave me my favorite; ham.” I finished my meal and went to look at his plate. He looked at me upset, so I quickly went away. I went to my bed and was playing wi...

“Mom! When will Crystal be here?” Amy said for the 100th time. Crystal is Amy's best friend. “Soon, honey!” her mom said. “But… I haven’t seen Crystal in years!” Her mom laughed, “Yes darling, I know!

Opposite Day

Ivy Spade

Submitted to Contest #39

“The sun is rising in the west today,” I said to my Mom. She looked out the window. It was about 5:55 am. The sun started rising from the west. “I knew it!” I said to myself. “Oh, it is, Luna,” mom looked from the window to me. I pushed my glasses up higher on my nose. “I wonder why,” my mom said. I looked at her green eyes through my glasses. Just like mine. I sighed, “Mom, it's Opposite Day.” She looked at me with disbelief and fear. “W-what?” she stammered. “Opposite Day,” I repeated. “A-ah,” She ...

Ivy Spade

Submitted to Contest #37

I’m a 28-year-old female, I have deep-set brown eyes and my very short, wavy, black hair is neatly styled. I am recently married, with a kid on the way. I am on the way home from the store. When I looked behind myself I saw a car? “Ehh it’s probably just my imagination.” I thought to myself. It was dark outside almost 11 pm. “Ow!” I exclaimed “This child never stops moving!” I looked behind myself again. “It’s still there?” I panicked a little and took a picture, it wasn’t really good though. When I got hom...

Ivy Spade

Submitted to Contest #36

Wednesday, 2 June 1954 9:32 amOur baby girl, named Turquoise, was born EXACTLY one year ago. You are a beautiful girl, with fair skin, nice brown eyes and shiny blonde hair. Your first word was Mamma, and you have a lazy eye. You are the most lovable creature EVER! When you were 6 ½ months old you started crawling. You’re also very talkative (mostly babbling)! Every year, on your birthday, I will write in this journal until you are old enough to write by your self! I can’t wait till you start talking and reading!!! But goodbye no...
