“If I Had Known” by Jacqueline Han

Submitted to Contest #103

The soft breeze flowed with the thin air, gently passing through the strands of my hair. A sigh fell from my lips as I tugged harder on my scarf just a little closer-- my body craving warmth. The wind was stronger now, occasionally rippling through my blue cardigan with a small whale pinned on and a short pleated skirt. Although my socks were knee-high, tingles ran through me as a gust of wind pushed by. The metal whale was cold to the touch, sitting right above my heart. It was my favorite item because it made me feel slightly less alone...

“These Words For You” by Jacqueline Han

Submitted to Contest #68

This was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. The day they would remember forever, together.The quiet clicks of the cameras could barely be heard over the joyous soft sobs from mothers and proud looks on fathers.

I promise you a life together. I promise to stand by you, not ahead nor ...

“Saving Stars” by Jacqueline Han

Submitted to Contest #51

The night sky, littered with stars, never felt so vast and never appeared to shine so beautifully as it did tonight. Each star glistening against the endlessly dark backdrop. Not to mention, the moon was the brightest it has been in what seems like months. The sight as a whole was, for lack of better word, astronomically breathtaking. “The sky is so beautiful to watch tonight, but why do I feel so small?” asked ...

Noticing a light from the kitchen, he made his way there with a warm feeling filling his chest. Sitting in the middle of the table was a plate just for him with a small note on the side.Wen...

“New Words” by Jacqueline Han

Submitted to Contest #49

“Daddy! Daddy! Come quick! Look what I found! What kind of bug is this?!” he squealed as he ran towards his father, insect in hand. However, with a quick misstep at the foot of the stairs, the boy fell forward with a loud “oof!” His hands that held the insect close by was now flat against the floors. He had caught himself from smashing his face onto the hard wood, but he had lost the bug in the process. Tears started to well in his eyes as he stared at the squashed bug. He was so proud to have caught it, and now he couldn’t even show his ...

“Just Me” by Jacqueline Han

Submitted to Contest #41

Sitting by the ever-changing water, I let my feet slip in. The cool pull of the river tugs on the fine fur that enveloped my three feet. My glowing eyes tinted in purple find their matching pair in the water as I glared at my reflection. Long pointed ears that stick up beyond the fur on my head. The strangely splotched patterns that covered my skin. The three antler-like horns that grew from within. The baby pink nose that is hugged by the many strands of navy and violet whiskers.
