Submitted to Contest #29

"Average". That's what the teacher was saying to Miara. The rest of the teacher's words faded while the student continued to day dream. It wasn't the first time "average" was used to describe Miara or the things she did: her grades were average, she put in average effort to complete projects and she was even told she looked average. Oh well... The best part of her day was about to begin. School was over for the day. She was about to meet-up with her "not average" friend Jai.

As the others are passing him on the way to the meeting, William is pleased he's not the only one u...

She pushed her way through my barrier and introduced me to the best times of my life. I have lunch, dinner and shopping outings. There's game night at Mark's, Gina's fiance'. I'm enjoying myself for the first time in years.I hav...

“Christmas Change” by Jamie Shaw

Submitted to Contest #21

Our friends Nila and Greg are the reason we are apart of this wonderful neighborhood. We transferred five years ago and there are no regrets. These tree-lined streets with houses of all types: mid-century modern, Victorian, farm house, makes it whimsical and beautiful. We also have a tree house just off the cul-de-sac. It's quiet and safe. We have block parties, cookout, watch ballgames together. We couldn't ask for a better place.But, lately we are all on edge. There has been a string of robberies in our perfect neck of the world. Most of u...
