Submitted to Contest #83

I'm only 6 years old and the little girl who pushed me doesn't know I can't swim. I try pushing my body up again and scream for help before my body gets shoved back down by another unforgiving wave.

Submitted to Contest #81

Love after Miscarriage By K.L.Newton It hurts. I’ve been bleeding for three weeks now. When will it end? Why did this happen to me? To us? I glance over at my husband, David, and the guilt crashes into me again. The sobs rack my body all over again, and he reaches for me. Sorrow in his eyes. I pull away, unable to be held by the man who I let down. I lost our baby for reasons I don’t know yet. All I feel is pain. Pain as my body rids me of my child that we wanted so badly. The blood circles the drain and in that moment it...
