“Our Friend Mary” by Marie Tineo

I can’t sleep. It’s a cold December night, with wind blowing in multiple directions. The moon illuminates the dark, scary woods that lie just a few feet away from my house. Mary’s been out in the woods for hours. We sent her out as a dare to get a flower. Beth and I don’t know what to do. Neither one of us wants to go out, but if we call our parents, they’ll know we were awake and we’ll get scolded. Beth ...

“What Brothers are For” by Marie Tineo

“It’s really not that hard.” “If it’s not that hard, why do you keep repeating it?” He’s holding on for dear life. “I can’t believe this.

Suddenly I was woken up. “Benny!” Dave cried. “Benny wake up!” I lifted my head tiredly, confused as to why he would wake me in the middle of the night. Dave opened the door and that’s when I saw it. The Monster. Large beast that was destroying everything in its path. The gray cloud it ...

“The Next Sherlock Holmes” by Marie Tineo

BAM! “Another mystery solved by yours truly.” I curtised. Edward rolled his eyes at my dramatic gesture. “All you did was find someone's missing car keys, Linds. It’s not really a mystery.” He takes my “file” and puts it in the drawer with all my other things. “Well not much happens here!” I stand up, leaning over my boss's desk and looking him in the eye. “How am I supposed to call myself a detective when I live in Bis...

“Not Like His Brother” by Marie Tineo

WARNING: Contains little mention SA and anxiety“Lexi! Stop leaving your stuff laying around!” Alex looked at the bathroom in disgust. Lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, and many other things he couldn’t name were scattered across the counter and sink. Lexi popped her head in and looked at the mess she didn’t even realize she made. “Aw crap. My bad, bro. Give me a second.” She returned to her room and put the finishing touches on her outfit,a light blue flowery dress, with white converse and a thin yellow jacket to finish ...
