“Analyzing People” by Salony Shakya

Submitted to Contest #56

I was returning home from school. Throwing my bag carelessly, I went to my friend Jane's house as she was absent in school today. I was walking in the streets thinking how I would tell the things that had happened in school that day. It had been the worst day in school. I was bored as hell and angry with Jane because she did not tell me anything. Otherwise, we always planned our absenteeism to do something fun!

Submitted to Contest #44

I have some secrets that I cannot utter to a single soul. Some secrets that kill me deep inside. That create wounds healing into scar and again wounds on the same scars. I will not lie. I have been trying to heal in the best way I can. I could say that I have been reborn as a newer self but I fail to recognize it is only an outer shell that cracks with each new arrow thrown right at the weak spot. What is life exactly? Who can you trust with all your heart? Who do you think is willing to listen without judgement? Who do you think will stand ...
