“Butterfly Counts” by Tausha Marshall

Submitted to Contest #74

“Grandma, what are you up to?” Liza teasingly asked with her big brown eyes. The inquisitive 7 year old had to know the ins and outs plus the ups and downs of everything and if you wouldn’t tell her, she would go find out for herself. This day was no different and she had to know why her favorite, and oh so funny, grandma was doodling on the wall. Now Liza knew if she wrote on the wall, she would get in some major trouble but Liza’s grandma was magical and special so she wouldn’t get in trouble at all. As Liza excitedly walked into her grand...

“My truth” by Tausha Marshall

Submitted to Contest #73

“And 1, 2, stop, drop, 3, 4, spin and pop. Take it low and up, here we go, 5, 6, 7, 8!” This 8 count was on repeat in Tavia's head like a broken record she didn’t want to hear at the moment. She knew the dance steps so well she could literally perform it in her sleep and that’s the reason she was tossing and turning all night. That morning, she auditioned for the gig of a lifetime and was excited about more opportunities coming her way, but she felt troubled. She never wanted to seem ungrateful about the wonderful life created through dance ...

Submitted to Contest #72

Angel groggily opened her eyes after being asleep for what seemed to be hours. Her head ached, her body was stiff, and she could barely lift herself off of the floor. She was surrounded by complete darkness and silence and couldn’t feel or sense anything around her. The last thing she remembered is walking with her best friend, Macie, to her house to spend New Year's together. Their annual celebration was filled with laughter, apple cider, lots of chocolate in many forms, and the occasional glitter dresses, nail polish and/or shoes. But now,...

“That Fateful Night” by Tausha Marshall

Submitted to Contest #72

Faye, the self-proclaimed party girl and Terry, her loyal sidekick plus Instagram model, drunkenly trodded up the driveway after one of their extreme girl nights filled with loud music, overly interested men, and unending drinks. Faye and Terry were laughing so loud one of the neighbors yelled out their window to “Shut that noise up!!!" Terry and Faye immediately held their breath but could not hold it for long. The restraint they normally would have possessed was swallowed with the last bottle they drank at the club. They both looked a...

Author bio

If I could explain myself in three words, I would be a colorful, introverted/extroverted, creative. I am also what you could call an oops writer😆. I have a background in English and Literary History but never in a million years would I have thought I would be writing short stories and composing grant proposals, mission statements, etc., in addition to editing books/novels. It's pretty fun to do though, so I'll guess I'll keep it going 😁. Life is funny and will lead you on the path to where you need to be so trust that life knows what it is doing. Go along for the ride and embrace creativity and self-discovery on the way🤎.
