The Wavery Woods My name is Samantha O’Bryan, and this is a collection of my notes and observations from living five years alone in the Wavery Woods. Influenced by my transcendental forefathers I have come to the woods to think, to live, and to write; I have come to avoid distraction from both people and technology.

“And Now You're Dead and Going to Hell” by Natalie Meador

Submitted to Contest #282

“W—where am I?” It was dark, so dark she couldn’t see an inch in front of her face.

These are his golden years.” “He smells like he crapped himself!” Sam eagerly chimed in from her spot on the carpet. “Samantha Smith, do not say that word aga...

“Mommy and Daddy” by Natalie Meador

Submitted to Contest #241

They sat across from one another on the carpet of Talia’s bedroom. Talia eyed her mother with scrutiny. She looked different now. Still beautiful, still lovely and graceful…but different. She didn’t look like a mom anymore. She looked like a person. A lying, gross, scrupulous…person. Talia wanted to yell, but no words would come, they were all scrambled up in her brain. “Please, say something. Do you hate me?” Christy asked with tears running down her face. “Why… How could you?” Talia finally spoke. “I—I—You gotta let me try to explain. C...
