“Our Own Moments ” by Nic Siemer

Submitted to Contest #55

“Can you keep a secret?” I jump, the instant presence of another knocking all thoughts straight out of my mind. I’m left staring down at a half written word, a half written story.  “Damn it, J, can’t you save your outbursts for some other time?

Author bio

Hi all! I'm a writer, reader, musician, artist. I really just love all the arts. I'm here in hopes of bettering my writing. I'm hoping one day soon to get inspiration from something here or in the world to begin a novel of some sort. Please feel free to give me feedback! I would love to hear all the good and bad anyone has to say about my writing; it's the only way I'll ever grow.
