Almost There

Wendy Minore

Submitted to Contest #68

I stared at the sky, pulling the blanket closer around myself. It was chilly in the morning, even though it was spring. "Don't hog the blanket Raven!" Audra hissed, tugging on the edge groggily. "You drag me up here for what? To stare at the sunrise and yet I have to freeze. I should be in bed." She stated, pulling on the blanket and laying down. I smiled and shook my head. Only Audra could sit on the roof of a mansion during the sunrise and not even care. I turned my face back to the sky and soaked in the warm sun beams coming down as the...

Where They Belong

Wendy Minore

There's a loud clink as the grappling hook catches the window ledge. A person dressed in all black flinches at the noise, but there is no one awake to hear it. Waiting just a few seconds more, they hook their carabiner to the thin line and whiz off into the darkness.A few moments later, a security guard dashes down the hallway, sirens exploding around him. He rubs the sleep out of his eyes, running toward the exhibit. In his sleep-like state he gets turned around, and by the time he gets there, the case is empty. Ruby Red Slippers, Stolen Ag...

I first noticed him at the Farmer's Market, on a Wednesday afternoon. It was chilly due to the late fall weather and most stations had already closed. I was grabbing a coffee when I noticed him. He was in line behind me, and there wasn't much different about him. At that moment he was just another person rushing to get their last minute supplies from the Farmer's Market.The next time I saw him was the next week, on Saturday. I was picking up my little sister from school and he was in the parked truck next to me. It took me a second to place ...

My parents dislike it, but my therapist says tha...

Not a Wink

Submitted to Contest #36

I have been tossing and turning for almost an hour now, and I am still nowhere near falling asleep. It's infuriating. Usually, I'm the first one asleep in my house, but not tonight. I don't know why I can't fall asleep, but someone said that you have to clear your mind to fall asleep, so here we go! Let's see, today my younger sister Melody woke me up and I got ready to go in a super cute outfit, in my opinion anyway. I took a quick shower and headed to school. My first hour was English with Mrs. Polcik. We read for a while, I read Thief of ...
