The aglets of the shoes had broken off years before, but Max was too lazy to replace the laces. He stood, slipped on an old sweater that he got for his birthday years ago, and headed out the umber door into a brisk, November evening.  As he walke...

“Miss Vulpes ” by Lei Lawrence

The sun was only just peeking over the peachleaf trees, but the heat was already crisping the leaves and steaming the creek, and making the dying fields too bright to look at. Pepper, Bea, and Larina trotted toward the dappled shade of the Maple Wood, tongues lolling. On these high-sun days, the grasshoppers were as dry and sour as birch bark. "So, whaddaya think we'll learn about today?" ...

Author bio

Don't be stuck on the struggle for the fact that you refuse to be apart of life, there are so many people waiting on you to show them that they deserve to live, so breath a bit and live life even in the struggles. Hello ! I'm Lei, a middle school student in the Northern hemisphere. I'm here to share my unprofessional stories and I've come here seeking inspiration and criticism on how I can ameliorate my writing. I've tasted all sorts of frosty, sugary lemonades. They're always great. to have on a hot summer day. I don't recommend them during the winter though... If I'm not writing, I'm probably curled up in my bed, lost in a book, totally unavailable to the world. Reading is like walking. You'll only do it well if you actually put in the effort. Have a great day, dear reader!
