“Daisy Miller and the Green Woman” by Lucy Siwko

I cracked my eyes open, squinting at the ceiling. The moment I did, I wished I hadn’t; my head pulsed and I felt dizzy.  I started to piece together what happened before I fell asleep.  My eyes shot open and the blinding light made the back of my eyeballs ache. I blinked stupidly.  I was lying on my back on a dark green velvet couch. The room was fairly tight. Definitely an outdated apartment, pr...

“Dancing in the Rain” by Lucy Siwko

As our shouts cleared from the air, I leaned my head against the car window, tears gathering in my eyes.

All the quotes from all the dusty books in all the cobweb-laced libraries seemed to look over people like her: people who could stop time.If Violet had to divide her identity into two parts, she would put her strange ability on one side and her coping mechanisms on the other side. That was ironic because Violet didn't have coping mechanisms. She lied and pretended and twisted her way away from moving ...

“On Angel's Wings” by Lucy Siwko

I avoided looking at the ghost's nearly see-through eyes. No matter how much time had passed since her death, the grief hit me like a tsunami every time I caught her eye.She, on the other hand, was much less bothered. Carefree in life and unchanging in death, she didn't seem to notice that she was a dead thing and I was alive. Or was she dead?
