Rocking chair

The lake was frozen solid the tops of the trees disappearing into the ongoing distance; no one around for miles. You could see strands of stray snowflakes falling from the ground. At the tip of Hogwarts stands a young witch taking in the sights of the barren lake. *Stella’s POV* I breathed out my breath coming in a stream of cold air; I searched behind me to see if anyone had followed me down after a quick look over I knelt down to put the palm of my hand on the ice I knocked on it. “Still…

Once upon a time there lived a very poor family who lived on the outskirts of a little village. The family had little, but they were happy. Their house was only two rooms, they had only one cow to live off of and continually needed to go the market for more provisions. One day the father of the family came home, walking dejectedly along the worn out dirt path he walked every day of the week. It was the afternoon and the father had just got home from a long day of work. He was carrying a bag in…

forever remained in this bittersweet, numbing quietness in comparison to the chaos experienced at Stanley’s house for so long. There is an internal chaos yet to be discovered. She now remains in an estate—much like Belle Reve. She is sitting in a rocking chair. The kind that squeaks ever few seconds upon leaning. She holds a journal on her lap, and a pen rose to her chin. Gazing out of the window, looking at the birds, wishing she could just breathe the fresh air. Not this trapped air where…

Our Chinese Shar-pei didn't have a name when we picked him out from the shelter. The staff was calling him Wrinkle Face. It suited him. A good samaritan had found him walking along the side of the road and brought him in out of the bitter cold. His folded skin gave him the appearance of being draped in a brown burlap sack and he had a nose like a hippo. He maintained a quiet dignity as he sat alone in his kennel, staring solemnly out the window that faced the highway. He was the only dog that…

The day I received the news of my grandma being diagnosed Alzheimer’s was a emotional day. I didn’t have time to take in what was going on and I felt speechless. The news was thrown at me like it was nothing and after that it was all business. I was told that I would be taking a break working at our family restaurant and spending some time at my grandmother’s along with my cousin. At first I was a little confused because I thought to myself that I always spend my time there with her. But…

through the forest trees. If you looked closely, you could begin to see the deep lights of the milky way fall on the harbor. Far off on the horizon large grey clouds emerged with a threatening tone. On any other night I would've sat in the rickety rocking chair on the patio and watched the dynamic sky come to life… but this night was different. I continued driving down the never-ending curvy roads of Acadia National Forrest. I glanced up through the sunroof and saw the large cumulonimbus…
