The crisp scent of the freshly cut grass. The warm luster of sunshine prickling my skin. The old playground sitting adrift amongst the many rowdy kids. The delicate, pink flowers falling from the elegant cherry blossom trees. The numerous pebbles wriggling in my shoes from the dusty, old trail. The patches of abundant 3 leaf clovers crowding the grass under my feet. Everything was just as I had remembered. The place looked the exact same as my memories of when I was just merely a child running to the park in the evening everyday to play. Ex...

Emily drowsily stared at the pristine, white clock hiding in the corner of the back wall at the café. The clock read 3:12. Liz was late again. Emily lazily reached her arm out to grab the iced coffee on the table in front of her to take a sip. After putting her iced coffee down, she turned away from the clock, propping her left elbow up on her table and laying her head into the palm of her left hand. With her other hand, she started scrolling through various social media pages on her phone. The time was 3:20 now. Emily stared at her almost ...

It was another normal summer day for me; I was about the house living my life to the fullest by eating as much as I possibly could fit in my flabby stomach and then laying around on the couch. The day was humid, and the sun was scorching ever so aggressively that I could barely open my eyes when I looked outside through the window in my living room. Ignoring the intense heat, I strolled out to my backyard and layed in the tall, green grass. Feeling the tingling of the grass scratch my skin relaxed me, so I closed my eyes and inhaled ...

As you check your mail, you notice a letter that makes you stop in your tracks. You dig out a compact, folded square of paper with your name written on one side. You notice that it’s not sealed in an envelope, so you assume that one of your friends put the note in your mailbox since only a few of your friends know your address. But as you start to unopen it and catch a glimpse of the handwriting in the letter, you realize that the handwriting is unrecognizable and so messy you almost can’t make out some of the letters. This is not from any o...

“Everyone here doesn’t even want you in our writer’s circle!” Jeanine shouted across the room.“Well at least I’m a talented writer! You guys can’t even write a paragraph without me having to check it!” Amelia retorted, glaring at Jeanine.Jeanine gawked at Amelia in shock of her obstructive comment, harsh wrinkles forming between her brows. “You are not welcome in our writer’s circle anymore,” Jeanine spat out.“Hey! You can’t decide that! You’re not the leader of the group, woman! I’m the only one here that actually gives valid criticism...

I always thought that things would stay the same for me forever. I thought that I could be content with who I was and where I was and what I was doing for the rest of my life until death, but that was before the forceful pull of reality dragged me in its robust arms and whispered the darkest truth in my ear.I was unaware and completely stupid back then to believe that I could keep my simple life that I so strongly loved and enjoyed. I admit that I’ve been ignorant of previous things in my life, and I’ve always been a little oblivious to sign...

A single tremble quivered beneath my feet. I perceived a faint growl in the distance. The trees hovering above me began to sway intensively while the tall grass grazing my ankles stirred in an unruly pattern. Then came the silence, the loathsome, deadly silence that could only mean one thing— destruction. Everything was a blur when my eyes hazily opened again. The sky was foggy, and its blue hue was covered by a hideous gray smog. The grayness was suffocating. The repugnant fog kept me from seeing the things around me clearly. I felt t...
