Rain pattered like a lullaby on the cabin's windows. Clara had woken up to grab a glass of water. She stumbled in the dark, leaving the lights off to stay sleepy. Coming into the living room, she dropped her cup, glass cutting her bare feet. A girl that looked identical to her sat on the couch. I'm half-asleep, she thought as she navigated broken shards. To her horror, even after she flipped the lights on, her doppelgänger didn't disappear. Clara scanned the clone up and down in a panic, searching for some sort of difference. The girl had r...

I waited for the lights to startle us back into harsh reality, and for Avery to wake back up. The movie couldn’t have been that boring to her, could it?***The popcorn was too salty, but I wasn't going to say anything. I was finally on a date, and I would probably eat a frog if she told me to, to be honest. Ah, to be 15, and on your first secret date with a girl.My mind faltered at the thought of my family laying out their church clothes for tomorrow morning, and leaving my dress blatantly hung in the closet. Isolated. Alone.I shook my head f...

The walls were that formal, clean gray-white color like all churches have, a spread-out kitchen with dipping sinks and stained counters. There was a closet with a thin drape that blew a little every time you walked by and could easily get caught in for a few laughable seconds. It was raining outside, springing mud in the dense woods. I remember seeing Alex smiling like she’d never smiled before. Usually, she smiles one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen, flashing her teeth like a model, but just for a moment; this one was more subtle, li...
The full moon spins silver jewels through velvet, drooping branches. Magical, intricate webs full of stories old and new loosely hang, each memory woven through prisms. The melting dew drips onto the barren, empty earth. The moon’s exhale mixes together with snowflakes to create crystallized pathways, licking the side of tree trunks then scattering like rapid flames.A girl has just come to a fork in the trail. Her hair is dyed marigold and stands out starkly against the white forest. Her face is as pale as the snow, and her lips tinted purpl...
Percy scribbled in his notebook; his back leaned against an oak tree. He scrunched his peppered nose as he always did while in deep thought. His dark gray eyes scrutinized every detail his charcoal pencil scratched against paper. He sat on a hill perched above his creaky wooden middle school. The dead grass whipped in the wind. He focused on capturing each wave and bend of the beige high stalks. Sheltered on the rolling hill with him was a scarlet fox. Percy caught the flash of her hide through the grass below and intently gazed after her, h...

Dawson sat in the library anxiously, his leg tapping. His shaggy blonde hair hung in front of his silty blue eyes, and he wore his best flannel. It was orange and azure and clung tightly to his broad shoulders. He didn’t expect this many people to be here today.He wasn’t sure he wanted to do this anymore. More and more people filed through the glass door, masks of all colors on their faces. Next to him, Chloe breathed heavily. She was going first today. She wore a puffy winter jacket and a tiny maxi dress; no tights. It was 15 degrees outsid...
