“Listen . . .” I glared intensely at my pencil, gripped in my white-knuckled hand. How was it possible for something to be so annoying? I’d been sitting under the hellish sun for an eternity. The bustling around me was a dull buzz—just another fish in the sea of noise. Why should I listen when there’s nothing to listen to? “Relax yourself,” the demon beside me mocked me in a honeyed voice. “Let the sounds consume you completely.” My pencil snapped. I saw her open an eye and peek at me. “You’re not listening.” “No dip.” I stuffed the bro...

Submitted to Contest #81

Dahlia Gorvana. Her name rang through his end on an endless loop. Like a chime in the wind constantly ringing beautiful melodies.

Hana leads a hard life. Scorns and sneers follow her everywhere she goes. People are constantly pointing their fingers and laughing in her face. They can’t possibly know what it’s like and yet they continue their jeers. Hana doesn’t understand the hatred everyone points at her because of her disabilities. People take advantage of her ignorance. They think just because she’s autistic, they’re allowed to bully her. I’ve been Hana’s only and best friend for longer than I can remember. She avoids people as much as they do her. She’s never real...

Author bio

Reading, writing, and food are my favorite things in the world. Give me a good book and I'll sit in bed or at my kitchen table reading it all day. My favorite genres are fantasy, modern fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, and sometimes drama and romance (i.e. Five Feet Apart, The Fault in Our Stars). I love musicals and Broadway shows, though I've never actually gone to see one. Writing is my passion and I base it on everything in my life. I've been writing for about 3 years now and am currently working on a book I'm hoping to get published in the future.
