“The mysterious haunting of Black Wood Manner” by Melissa Holewa

From the beginning, I’ve always been unnerved by that Manner that my Great Aunt left me. Though I’ve never heard of her till that day I got that letter, not long after her death. No one in my family would tell me about her, not even my mother. They told me she never existed, that She must have done something to piss off my whole family for them to not mention her ever.            I did my research on the web through ancestry.com and where Black Wood Manner might be. I found her and th...

“The unknown” by Melissa Holewa

Submitted to Contest #42

Some say that you are supposed to know who you are by the age of eight-teen. You are also supposed to know what college you want to go to, what you want to do for a career, and even sexuality. I’m 25 and I’m not really sure what to do with my life, the first of half of my life I thought I love animals I think maybe I should be a vet, until I discovered needles. Then when my Dad when I was twelve, and the only thing that helped me cope was the magic of writing. I thought maybe I should be a writer, author, script writer. But then when I turn...

“hidden amoung the stars” by Melissa Holewa

Submitted to Contest #38

This was a mistake, it wasn’t supposed to go viral, it was supposed to be a joke among me, my sister, and my cousins. But it made me famous, a thing that I’m rarely use to. See in the beginning I wasn’t the most popular person on the planate let alone on youtube. See it all started when I had this stupidest idea, and I wanted to include my sister, and my two cousins that I hardly get to see because life reasons. So, we decided to do this stupid tik tok, and thought nothing of it.          &nb...

“secret of a stranger ” by Melissa Holewa

Submitted to Contest #37

Secrets of the stranger            My sister always told me I was adopted, and I wasn’t supposed to be in this family.

She always had it out for me, and if that wasn’t bad enough, I feel like someone or something is watching me constantly. I was at the park and this older gentile man probably rough around my sister’s age between maybe twenty-seven? Twent...
