The InciDENT

Robin .

Williams was not close to his grandparents. When they died, his father inherited the house and a piece of land in the middle of nowhere. They used to go there for picnics and to admire the sunsets. That is, of course, until his grandmother could not walk a lot anymore and his grandfather would carry her on his back. Williams was around 17 when this all was happening and he went along with them once or twice, but he was never interested in spending much time with his family. All he wanted to do was move to a big city, party all night and get ...

Maple's Paincakes

Robin .

“Hi! My name is Maple and my one true love is cooking.” Maybe this isn’t strong enough; it seems basic, Maple thought, as she started smiling to the camera in front of her. Her kitchen was very clean that morning, as the sun was rising, letting in more and more of its spring embrace inside the room’s walls and over the white countertops. Maple thought it better to start filming around 7 AM, so she could get on to editing later on that day, but she didn’t take into consideration how the light changing with the sunrise might affect her video ...

It was red.

There’s nothing better than waking up to the sound of the kettle knowing mom is having a third good day in a row. When she’s happy, she’s making tea. When she’s waking up depressed, I have to make her tea so it’s good she’s been making it for a change. I have so many plans for today! I want to go to the park and feed the ducks, so I must go by the store and buy duck food. Maybe I’ll grab some new yellow flowers, the vase seems lonely. A summer morning without school and endles...

Trainwreck

Robin .

When I first met him he looked like someone I’d share a beer with and then probably never see again. His hair looked slimy; he had brushed it behind his ears. His eyes looked clouded, and it seemed like his mind had been cloudy as well for a while. He was sitting at the bar, waiting for me, and wearing a grey T-shirt and jeans. I asked him about his style, what his clothes meant to him and he said he just liked the color. I thought to myself that this was going to be a very boring first date and I had already started thinking of reasons why ...

Robin and Amber

Robin .

Dear Diary, Today has been a crazy day. I was so scared this morning when mom was driving me to school! I knew that being ‘the new girl’ can’t be easy - I watched too many shows to fall into that trap. I thought I’m going to be bullied or the mean girls will target me, but I got none of that. It started out as...

The AstroNOT

Robin .

Sensitive content: domestic violence and swear words. “What do you mean you’re going away for a year?!” his wife yelled as soon as Michael stepped in the apartment. He managed to arrive late that day after work and his co-worker, Ted, had called to congratulate him for this new position. “We’ve talked about this. It’s not a surprise” he responded while taking off his black boots. They hit the floor with a thump as powerful as his wife seemed to be hit by the news. Michael Thompson was an astronaut. He had always dreamed to reach the o...

Forgetting Cip

Robin .

“Don’t you remember?” “No”, she said while shaking her head. “But how is that possible? It only happened a few hours ago!” exclaimed Josh. But what was it that they talk about? Why can’t she remember? All these thoughts might jump around the reader’s mind from here to there as no one could understand what happened from just two very confused sentences. Therefore, let me take you back to where it all began… It was one hot summer night and both Josh and his sister were pl...

Under the desk

Once upon a time a small girl named Ariana was cleaning her room before going to bed. She took her toys one by one and carefully placed them on the shelves and in the boxes she had under her bed. She knew that Mister Blue Rose didn’t really agree with Misses Bottle-Nose so she made sure the teddy bear and the truck weren’t sitting side by side. The last toy she took was her Bunny, the toy she had been sleeping with since forever. Bunny was a small, well, bunny. He had superpowers and always kept her safe, even in the dark room, after her...
