“Team Tundra” by Rochelle Miller

Story begins in the voice of Patrick Warburton. You know, the M&M Buzz Lightyear guy."Hey, everyone. Thanks for showing up early for this meeting. We have an important task ahead of us. Practicing our ability to connect with one another will be crucial to making it outta here alive. We have one shot and gotta work together on this."Maksim addressed six other members of the team, hoping to test their focus and resolve before hitting the trail. Everyone gathered close. "This morning I'd like us to start with an exercise to streng...

“Free at Last” by Rochelle Miller

Submitted to Contest #145

"Let's go to the dining room. I think dinner is about to be served." We walked together to another building, just across the lawn. "I'm sorry there are only little kids here this evening. The older kids will be back later; they're at the Oakland A's game right now. You'll meet them all when they return." The lady welcoming me to the shelter was nice. The officer who took me away from my mom made me ride in the back seat of the police car, just adding insult to injury. The last thing I needed was to feel like a crimina...

“From This Day Forward” by Rochelle Miller

Submitted to Contest #144

Warning: some profanity There is magic in capturing a moment forever. It can live outside and independent of the individual memory. Yet, those reminders often end up being housed and stored away within books, secured by cellophane pages, and trimmed in ribbon and lace. Because of what happened, we never had a ceremony making promises to one another before our friends and the Lord. We vowed to each other that our relationship was a celebration in itself; we didn't need the "show" to validate our love. The moments I have shared wit...

“Surf n Turf” by Rochelle Miller

Submitted to Contest #143

"Papa, can you tell us a story?" A gathering was taking place. The sounds of bare feet echoed on the covered porch as the children ran to seek shelter from the angry skies. Taking a seat, his chair faithfully squeaked every time he rocked back. Papa contemplated what tale he might share to entertain these fidgety creatures. The children settled in, some on a bench, others on the porch swing. The smallest boy laid down on his back, right on the wooden planks, acting silly chewing on a sprig of grass from the yard. A Jack Russell ter...

“A Tale of Treasures” by Rochelle Miller

Submitted to Contest #142

"By appointment only" - the sign on the lawn alerted incoming guests. A young boy, about the age of 12, made the arrangements, coaxing his reluctant mother to come along. It was a strange building. The glass walls secured ocean waters, housing fishes big and small and sea life of all kinds. This was not an aquarium, like most would imagine. It was a place to gather and share tales, preserving the stories of aquatic antiquity, guiding the ideas for the future. Entering through a stone archway, the boy and his mothe...

“The Storm Within” by Rochelle Miller

Submitted to Contest #141

A blue sky is a joy to experience, a dark cloud a sight to behold. As far as the eye can see, an eternity of water surges in the Atlantic Ocean. In the vastness, there is a breeze; the breeze - she wants to be bigger and stronger, purposing to raise her wings to draw down gusts, propelling herself toward the shore. Back on land, there was an artist who, while sitting in his studio, lost himself in a landscape of hibiscus and zephrlilies and creeping indigo, his daydreams taking him to a most spectacular horizon. Imagining the ne...
