My eyes flickered across the menu. What do I want? God, there’s so many options! I looked around the small cafe. How can one small place have so many options? In reality, there weren't many options, but I can never make up my mind. Even if I get the same thing over and over again, I always wonder if I should switch things up, so then I read the entire menu anyway. Usually, Nick would be here to help me choose. I felt my throat constricting. Why can’t you just let it go? I said to myself. He’s much happier with that rich blonde now anyway. I...
The kettle screamed at the top of its lungs. I walked over and turned off the heat. Ah, tea. I sit back down at the table to read the letter that you’ve sent to me. It’s one question. You started sending letters with only one question because I always get side-tracked. “What’s your favorite color?”“Dear reader,My favorite colors are white, black, and gold. Why? Because white and black are so modern and cool, plus they go with almost anything. Gold is rich, gorgeous, gleaming. They’re a fun combination- all three. Although, I also really...
“You’re crazy, Val!” Brooks' eyes widened.“I know! Isn’t it great?!” Valentia laughed.All the twelve year old kids had met up at the playground in the neighborhood again.

Everyone looked up to her, even though she was short for her age.She backflipped o...
“Hey God, I mean, if there is one… It’s Jordan and I really-” Sirens interrupted Jordan’s prayer. He gazed out his window. He could see the red and blue flashes in the pitch black night. The silhouette of further away buildings reminded him how trapped he was. Trapped in this never ending city. Sighing, he rolled onto his back and closed the curtain. Why’d I even move here? Jordan knew the answer to that question. To get away from the war. This is better. I’m far safer. “I’ve had it with you, Lisa!” Jordan heard someone scream....
  My alarm blared into the silent morning. I stiffly opened my eyes to see my gray ceiling. I groaned and rolled over. Where was I last night? I thought, trying to remember the events. Nothing. I lifted up my hand and examined my long pastel fake nails. I sat up slowly and looked down. What the? I noticed an odd checkered jacket on me. The colors of Sea foam green, yellow, pink, and black checkered. I didn't fall asleep in this... Did I? Then, I got fully out of my bed, and looked down to see my pants. Holy smokes! I thought. B...
:) Have an awesome day!
