“Missing More Than Her” by Thea Brown

Submitted to Contest #68

It had been twenty-four years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. At least, that’s what Christina thought, based on how her sister had described it. The manor was an elegant, yet greying, umber color. It had tall, fortifying green front shrubs, and inside of those shrubs was a courtyard worthy of a duke or duchess. Bronze benches decorated the edges of the inside, with meticulous desi...

“In and Out” by Thea Brown

Submitted to Contest #64

“The Snow Runs Into the River” by Thea Brown

Submitted to Contest #59

"Why am I here?" I asked again, although everybody seemed to not hear me, again. "Now, you'll be sleeping in this quarter," The nurse is in white. Everything is white here; even outside. It's a blizzard. I've never even seen snow before. You can see the ice glittering in the window, from the fluorescent lights. The sun isn't out; I haven't seen the sun since I had to leave Japan. <...

“The Rain is my Enemy, but You are my Friend” by Thea Brown

Submitted to Contest #34

“MASON!” Callie yelled from her porch, the rain splattering heavily on the sidewalk. She watched from the porch, desperate for a sign of him, but it was raining so hard she could barely see. It would be hopeless to look for him, especially in the storm.She knew he had been upset, but she thought he’d have come home by now. He’d been gone all afternoon. She walked back in the house and flopp...
