“Skinny jeans” by Jay -

The stars have unfolded their truths for me- just for me. Just for me. For once, I wake up happy. A good night’s sleep decided to show themselves at my doorstep; I welcomed them in. For once, I actually feel like I’ve rested enough. Enough, meaning that I have enough energy to power through Mr Cally’s math class. No one needs to know calculus. Ever. So I stretch a bit in bed, because ho...

“Pants on fire” by Jay -

Kerosene fumes waft in the air as his clothes soak it up. He closes his eyes and pulls out a set of matches. Without hesitating, he lights one up. "No, don't do this!"

"Don't do this." Tur...

"I'm not coming." "Hahahahahaha- hey! Mark! Come say hi to Cassidy!" "Jay, n...

"Are you coming tonight?" Sarah asks. The voice message plays in my mind. Should I go tonight? Probably not. I really don't want to go to Sarah's Christmas party. Everyone will be there. Family, friends, neighbours, random people she met on the street- they'll all be there tonight. "Which is why you should go!" Sadie groans, cutting my rant off. "No, it's why I shouldn't go." I...

“Probabilities ” by Jay -

Submitted to Contest #104

Tinder is shit. Absolutely terrible. I've tried so many dating apps, but none ever find a good match. It's usually just desperate men trying to find a good time. Disgusting. And women? Most are straight, and those who aren't are just looking for money. Honestly, what on earth would it take just to find a partner? Alright, I'll admit.

“Long lost” by Jay -

Submitted to Contest #72

The station smells of coffee and lies. He’s certain that he’s caught the right person, for all the evidence points to the suspect. But there’s just a doubtful feeling at the back of his mind. He brushes it off. “So,” he begins, looking the killer in the eye, “start talking.” The killer stays silent. The detective is becoming impatient. “Look, every piece of evidence we have points to you,” he says.
