Genevieve is also the author of the published short story titled “The End” and poem titled “My Fire and Ice.” In her free time, she plays soccer and volleyball. A long time ago, deep beneath the deep blue sea, there was a beautiful cream-coloured shell that lived with her two coral-coloured starfish parents. Shell was happy, but she always felt as if something were missing, as if she were different than everyone else. Unfortunately, different was not a good thing at her school. All different…
Foreword : I have always loved the beauty of Poetry, how words alone can grip the mind and stimulate the soul. Poetry is a feeling, like the tears of happiness or sorrow that we don't speak of. It's the cries of a breaking heart and the songs of love that we keep locked away. Within these pages lay just some of the hopes, trials and tribulations that have made me who I am. So take a deep breath if you dare, And settle into your favorite chair. Of my plights and dreams, have…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…
