Short Story I’ve always liked to walk on the beach. I like the feeling of the coarse sand between my toes as my feet sink into it with each slow step. I love the way the the ocean paws inquisitively at my passing footprints. The sea is truly beautiful. I’ve always admired it. I like to look out on the horizon and find the tiny waves throbbing on the line between sea and sky. Of course, in actuality the waves are probably huge, but from my standpoint here on the beach, even staring at…

The memory of 126 Riverside Drive will always stay with me. The concrete in front of the apartment overlooking the park is separated into squares and covered in old gum and the occasional chalk doodle. You go up and stand on the single black concrete step and look up at the black marble and the silver 126. You walk in the clear glass door and walk onto the faded tile floor that goes from the bottom of the few lonely stairs through the next door and to the elevator. You feel the cold from the…

Thinking of painting your bedroom? What color are you considering? You may want to take a minute and think about your color choices and what they can do for you.

If your bedroom is your sanctuary, the place you go into to get away from it all, then you may want to consider the color green…

The Logger of Elwood Forest Of the twenty-some men who were waiting at the station for the 4:17 train, Lawrence was the only one who was standing out on the cold, open platform. For nearly ten minutes Lawrence had been standing deliberately out of conversation range with the other Exuder boys who also rode the train to stations near their families’ winter cabins or to connecting planes that landed somewhere like California or the Bahamas or Paris. Lawrence was not popular among his…

The Monster Okay, so you know how no one wants to get some holes ripped in their mouth because they can’t eat anything good except for like ice cream? And wisdom teeth in general just suck and fuck up your mouth by coming in like sideways and shit causing infections and overbite like a bulldog or whatever and just altogether wasting all that time and money and effort – not to mention all the endured humiliation from sneers like ‘brace-face’ – which the braces did to make your smile attractive?…

It was a cold, and cloudy day and it was quite reflective of Daisy’s morose attitude. Her days were always the same; school, reading, dreaming, and sleeping. She desperately wanted an escape from the dreary streets of Croydon, where she had lived her whole life. School was a bore, Algebra 2 and World History just didn’t suffice when it came to intriguing Daisy. She walked home from school, feeling the light raindrops on her arms and smelling the vial car fuel. It was just the Croydon air.…

The ending isn't that cute :/ this whole story is basically us hangin' out tbh words: 2729 Chandler wasn't even sure what Max and her were fighting over anymore. She's never truly experienced his rage, only getting in small arguments with him, but this was something new, something that she had to dig deep to find within him. She was under enough stress and with his yelling, she couldn't really think. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as Max seemed to stop yelling for a minute, losing…
