really hard work (I’ve done the same job) is so strikingly at odds with the elegant room they are in, that the picture intrigues me. I can almost smell the raw wood, and the men’s sweat. We are in a typical Parisian apartment, with paneled walls and French doors leading onto a small wrought-iron balcony. There will be pots of geraniums out there when the place is furnished. Ornate roof lines show in the distance, which indicates this is a desirable…

fall from anywhere, at anytime was paralyzing for me, but until then I’ve never had to do anything so enabling of these fears. In the eighth grade, I started the new trimester off with a smile, and a jump in my step. As I sprung through the grey gym doors, I felt immobility stopping me while I widened my eyes. It was the rockwall. Wreathed in hand holds, and in that moment I felt I was falling from each. After an effective persuading from the gym teacher, I took a final look at the rockwall,…

for themselves. But today we would. Today is the day I can finally get to see them. I leaned forward as far as I could manage without toppling over, standing high on the tip of my toes. It feels as if I’ve been waiting an eternity. Suddenly the door swing’s open and I hear myself take a sharp intake of air. They are beautiful. Beauty that cannot possibly be described accurately. It’s as if they had been carved from gold. The silent room appeared to grow quieter. It’s as if we are all frozen.…
There once was a girl, fettered to a wall ever since she was young. There was no one guarding her, taking control of her, or feeding her, yet she felt no hunger. She would not holler for help or even call out for a savior as she felt as though everything was pointless in the world she was in. Her only friends were the the little sanity she had left and the darkness that kept her hidden from society. The rusted chains simply pierce the thin skin of her wrists ever so slightly as the chains held…
Zick woke up in his bed with a start, staring at the opposite wall. He stood up grabbing the pants he wore the previous day off the floor throwing them on and grabbing a shirt and lab coat out of his closet. His stomach gurgling as he realizes he hasn’t eaten since yesterday morning. zick opens his door and walks into the hallway shutting the door behind him. He whispers quietly to himself, “i wonder whats for breakfast?” He walks slowly down the hallway trying to guess what breakfast will be.…
