“Rhythm Of the Heart ” by Janae H.

The room was dimly lit with haystacks, scarecrows, and blood splatter across the floor. Fake blood of course, this was the setting of this year's talent show. The students and staff did a great job with decorating the school’s hallways and auditorium. The theme of tonight's talent show was a scene from a spooky horror movie. Halloween is this month therefore, this was a great idea for all the viewers and performers. I haven’t seen my daughter perform on stage since she was in elementary school. I've always been that working parent who tr...

I looked up at my ravishing wife who sat across the table from me, she wore her hair in curls that day with bright red lipstick. I remember the sun shining on her threw the glass window as she was smiling looking at the menu of our favorite diner. I had stuck a white colored fake flower from the vase sitting on the table, on the left side of her hair. The waiter was a tall Caucasian male with a four-inch-long ginger colored beard who, sat down two glasses of water with utensils and napkins. My wife and I both thanked the waiter for being att...

“Until we Meet Again ” by Janae H.

Submitted to Contest #67

There I was, standing at the foot of a crime scene. The weekend with my friends was ruined by the sight of staring death in the face. I no longer wanted to live after watching what I had seen and having the perpetrator get away with it too. “So, tell me Charles. How are you doing these days?”, Dr. Andrews asked me. I responded waving my head left and right like a child saying no. “Not good doc. I just keep visioning how everything transpired that evening.” “Charles? You know the police didn’t find anything.” The d...

Author bio

Hello everyone, my name is Janae. I am a writer who writes poetry about life, nature, romance, heartbreak, sadness and all the other feelings that make us human. In my spare time I also write short nonfiction stories for fun or to enter into writing competitions. When I’m not writing you could find me reading horror, mystery-suspense or thriller books at a local coffee shop, in the park or at the beach soaking up the sun. Being that I was born and raised in NYC, I love to get away and explore the world in quiet places that includes activities such as hiking up mountains, taking long walks in nature reserve parks and visiting gardens to admire the variety of flowers. If you like, you can read or listen to my poetry on my Instagram account @simple_yet_significant__
