Smoke and magic filled Ashling's lungs as she darted between foes. The warlock’s undead army had used the cover of night to descend upon their camp. Her dagger dug into an undead’s chest, his tattered cloak giving way as she ripped the pauldron off his shoulder. Aiden was out there, she felt his magic like a warm campfire. The light from his fire casting contrast to her shadows. She prayed to the old gods he would be alright. She held the piece of armor like a shield, blocking a sword before she could duck under and rekill another undead. It...

Mother had always warned me about the rat poison. In a tinted glass jar it sat, stowed away on a top shelf, only reached for when the cat couldn’t keep up with the mice. One time I had gotten into it. I didn’t eat much, but felt like I was going to die. My insides twisted, and food was unthinkable. But soon it passed. I forgot the pain, only remembering how funny it must have been watching me spew everywhere.The day the baby died the rat poison had been left on the counter, just within my short reach. Seeing it had given me a great idea for ...

Oh shit, was that light familiar? It all looked the same in the dark. My foot shakes as I wait for it to turn green. The back of my hand runs across my mascara stained face. Three years in this city and I’m back to getting lost while searching for 3 a.m. burgers. If only- The light turns green. Tears well in my eyes again. Four days have passed since Max died and here I am listening to his favorite song while getting lost. He would’ve found this amusing. When it came to getting lost with friends he was the best to be with. No panic, just eye...

Dear mom, I know it is a parent's instinct to turn all their child's flaws into loveable traits. But after washing and mending my overalls for the 5th time that week you had to finally admit, I was troublesome. The beautiful Saturday afternoon sun was filtering through the tree behind our house into my bedroom. I hated being grounded. It wasn't even my fault! Those boys had paid me five bucks to climb that tree, I didn't know there was a sparrow nest there. With an angry sparrow mama. I heard the sound of your sewing machine from your craft ...
