Our eyes BOTH watched Our ears BOTH heard Our skin BOTH felt Our noses BOTH smelt Our mouths BOTH watched And yet our brains have different interpretations. Different plans on how we should handle our “secret.” Our little mystery. Why was that? Why couldn't we both agree? ... Hannah; “Hannah! Please!” Mother called across the table. Splitting open my thoughts. Causing reality to seep in. “Um-yes.” I answered turning to meet my mothers eyes. She had beautiful brown eyes which sat in her face so evenly. It was perfect how they li...

“It doesn't count if you’re already planning your defeat.” “Well, what if defeat is the only answer? The only possible plan?” “Then I would begin to doubt the question I am answering.” “What if the question is rushed upon you and has fatal consequences if you fail?” “Then choose the right answer.” Our eyes locked. His smirk is slow on his face. I try to do the same on mine. Mimicking him. I want to remember and absorb all of this. Not let a piece escape. I am trying so hard to remember, tears burn in my eyes. This isn't what I want...

I held the red construction paper in my hands. Ever so lightly I cut along the sharpie lines. My scissors gilded around the page. Finally creating a pile of hand made decorations. Once all that was left of my red paper was simple scraps, I grabbed the same in yellow and began again. Tracing and drawing different silhouettes on my paper. Grabbing my scissors, and cutting them out. Making a neat pile of my work. Then began the process again and again. I was determined to create as much as possible. I would use them and decorate my room in thei...
In the middle of the dark cruel city laid a small bunch of buildings. They were tall and skinny brick structures. Bars and black curtains hung on all the windows. No music floated through the streets, no people walked by and talked. The only sounds were the clicking of falling water droplets and the occasional automobile. Out of the buildings, the middle one stuck out the most. Though it had no significant difference the inside shined brighter than anything. When you opened the creaky black door the second you walk in, the atmosphere consume...

The muscles in his face tensed. His veins started to bulge and he clenched his fist hard. I leaned against him and we continued to watch. The monstrosity of humans. “Well...are you ready to go?” I asked, still staring at the mess.“I don't know. Honestly when will I ever be ready to go?” he replied, almost lifeless. We couldn't remove our eyes. It had us intensely mesmerized.“Well it's getting dark.” “But does it have to?”“That's the way of the world.”“Sadly enough;” His muscles had relaxed. Silently we walked back to the house. Whe...
The snow covered everything in our tiny town. My friend and I sat huddled together in the homemade tree house. The oak planks were the only thing that held us from falling. Our big winter coats rubbed on each other. We had the tin box lying in the middle of us. No one wanted to touch it. No one wanted to see it. It had too many memories attached to it. … “Come on Jimmy! Don't be a baby! Lets go!” My lungs shoved out. I was trying to keep my head above the murky water. “Jimmy?!...LETS GO!” Billy shouted beside me. His voice was m...
