Until the End

Rawn A Lynn

"What did I tell you two about playing rough?" I question for the millionth time."Sorry dad, we forget when we play.” Layne apologizes first."Yeah daddy. Sorry, I keep forgetting." Lacey follows after her brother."I know princess, but you need to remember for Lay." I remind my daughter. I'm aware I can't blame her for forgetting, she just turned 5. Then again, I tend to forget about my son's condition as well."It's all fun and games until your brother's arm falls out of his socket.” I let out with a sigh.With a shrug I grab the roll of duct ...

Something Underneath Their Differences

Rawn A Lynn

Arin finished preparing breakfast as the sun rose in the sky. She scraped the last bit of porridge from the pot as she looked at the depressing, barely filled bowl. She let out a heavy sigh then shook her body loose. The day was wasting, and she couldn’t afford to let that happen. With one last loud exhale she grabbed the bowl and went to her son sitting in a handmade seat placed on a sturdy yet shabby looking table. She quickly got to feeding Cahaya as he babbled; his amethyst eyes sparkling as he looked at her then zeroed in on the spoon w...

Maddox was cooking breakfast with his mom like he always did every Saturday morning. He was watching his mom stir the batter with concise and un-wasted movements. He was silently trying to figure her out as he observed her. She mentioned a surprise for him which made him excited, but she didn’t seem as excited. She seemed a bit afraid and Maddox was not used to his mother having that expression. He always knew her as the strongest person in the world. He tried to say something but he didn’t know how to word it. How was he supposed to ask his...

Wager sits in the back of the taxi. She looks at the letter in her hand again. Though she had gone over the contents many times, she is still far from understanding them. To my flesh and blood, I’m gone. I know there’s no point in apologizing for my sudden disappearance so I won’t. I’m not dead, but I’m going on my last assignment. I left everything to you. Money has been placed into your account too. Use this to start over or something. You followed me and made me proud. You are one of the rarities of happiness I have had in my life. Be s...

I looked at my watch to see that it was only 20 minutes until the ceremony started. My mind was short circuiting and my stomach was twisted and eating itself. Everybody I have talked to about getting married had said that butterflies and nerves were the worst right before getting married. I felt something else. I felt like I was unsure and making a mistake. I was never unsure about my relationship with Ivory, especially since we were both women. Now it felt different. Did I really want to spend the rest of my life with her? She is a gorgeous...

Skyler is on his break from his shift. There has been a lot on his mind. Work has helped to distract his wandering thoughts. The other times, his mind tended to spiral on its own. He grabbed his sandwich from his locker and headed to the back entrance. None of the smokers were on break so the air was clear and refreshing. He took a deep breath.

Kenton and I just returned from our little trip to Maine. It was to celebrate his last day of physical therapy since waking up from his coma.

Lance had some business in Maine so we followed him. It was supposed to be like a vacation, but Kenton was tense the entire time. He constantly surveyed our surroundings all time, he did a perimeter check of the inn we were staying in every...

There was nothing but black. I can’t move my body or feel it. It feels like the heaviest weight is on top of me. My muscles must be weak. The last thing I remember was them beating me for the 3rd day. The last thing I remember is passing out as they slowly cut my arm into segments. At that point I knew I was going to bleed out. I was finally going to die.Now I feel like there is this type of invisible field around me. Like I am dreaming or suspended. I don’t know and it’s confusing. I don’t know what’s going on.I initially thought I was alon...
