“Comfy Night” by Misa Romero

Comfy Night I’m shaken awake by the movement of the subway as we slow down to stop. The doors slide open, and several people begin to leave. I stay at my seat as I breathe into my hands to keep them warm. My glasses get foggy, so I grab them to wipe the lenses. My phone falls to the ground as I see texts appear on the display. Dad: If you died in that crash you know where you would go 10...

But they'd all gone. Even Andrew. She tried to turn it over in her mind. What did they all have in common? Had something happened years, maybe decades ago, that had linked them all? Dead bodies were not a common sight until this week. This morning she had walked past thirty-nine corpses before she stopped counting and started crying. There was something about a significant number that was playing on ...

“I Ask Myself Why” by Maria Moore

I sit upon this trainAnd stare out the window,As the gray high rises flash by,Making me ask myself why;Why do cities have to be so noisy?Why do people want to live in such places?Why would they opt to breathe smog, choked air?Why, when they could live anyplace, but there?Every day I see the same people, though I know not their names,Nor do I ask. They are strangers to meAnd I to them. I ask not, because they will never want mine.And I have t...

“A Hero ” by Alex Rogers

Once upon a time, there was a young man who lived in a small village. I met him at the bus stop near my university. There he was, a young gentleman in a T-shirt. He had nothing in particular to catch my attention. At that time, I was waiting for a bus to go back home as soon as possible because I needed to write an academic essay on “The Natural Environment.” To be honest, I did not know how to start it. There were fears of failing the course and negative feelings in my mind. My situation is “like a meaningless pebb...

“WALK ON” by Debbie Curtin

I didn’t see this coming but here we are. Slowly, I rise from the pile of metal, shards of glass and the heat that was so intense my face melted to the bone. But, up I struggle to rise, with knees so broken, I screamed with the effort to adjust my stance as best I could. One hand was blown off, the other shredded around my weapon. “Wow,” is the only word I voiced as I looked around the busted hillside. In o...

“waking” by Greyson Lewis

“A Surprising change of attitude” by Mfon Dick

Etim, aren't you joining us? Tom asked almost unmindedly, "No!" Etim answered without adding any more words. "Maybe he isn't feeling really well or he hasn't eaten since morning" Tom thought to himself before taking his eyes off him. Etim was in a weekly meeting with his friends. The group was about fundraising and financial support to her members. In the group, if you are a registered member and you had any event...
