“Steve's Shirt” by Hanna Bush

Submitted to Contest #12

“Wait, were you wearing that on Saturday?”Thomas directed an awkward glance to his right shirtsleeve, just a little too short for his taste, then back to Debbie.“No, I just got it. Why?”“Looks awfully familiar,” Debbie said. She cocked her jaw and chewed on the corner of her lip, squinting at his chest. Thirty seconds passed in silence.

Submitted to Contest #12

Lots of people are scared of the dark. However, I am not one of them. I am simply terrified of the things IN the dark. Now, I will tell my story to the world. It was a mid-summer morning. A wild breeze swept through the trees, scattering a few of the leaves and making them hit the ground. I stood outside, waiting. My seven friends, Emma, Ashley, Laura, Lily,Ash Alexa, Stormy, and Violet were coming. At least, I hoped they were. The big sleepover I'd been planning for MONTHS now was finally ready, and I couldn't have been more excited. It was...
