Shed a Tear

It was getting harder and harder to deny the fact that she felt an attraction to this guy. She refused to say she was in love because we all knew that wasn’t possible. It was but a couple months. This was how long she’d known him and of those three months, he had a crush on her friend all of them. She never wanted to invest herself in a guy that she knew would never like her back but, it was hard when all he kept doing was drawling her in. Every sweet word and vowel that came out of his mouth…

A month ago I lost my best friend, Itzayana. It’s a day I will never forget. Almost every detail is as fresh as it was the day it happened. It was a Friday I was doing my homework. I remember taking a break and getting in my Facebook account feeling very stressful and nagging to myself, “it is only going to be a few minutes”. I got into Facebook and went directly to my messenger because there were two new messages. I checked the first one and it was my cousin from Mexico asking me if I was okay…

My first year of college, I experienced the greatest tragedy of my life. Some may say she was just a dog, but to me, she was my best friend. My Chihuahua, Tiny. I received this dog as a gift on my second birthday. At which point, she would fit in my father’s work pocket and pester me throughout her “puppy stage.” Over the years, Tiny grew into a best friend, more so than a pet. However, much of this changed when we found out she had a fatty benign tumor. 1.) At the age of 13 in 2013,…

My sister, Julia My sister is 20. She is beautiful and quick witted, and can be angry and insecure at times. She often feels lonely and scared, though she acts fearless and self contained. But mostly she is alive. Nothing about her is more cherished by me than that. When I first knew my sister she was serious and separate from me. My parents had divorced and I fitted perfectly into the family my mother constructed with her boyfriend. She felt discarded, too old, too bitter a bad fit for this new…

pause, despair hanging in the air. "He was among the slain counted in the Battle of Tref," the messenger finally said. It was as if that terrible news was the last straw for her. The woman looked down, her eyes becoming moist. Soon he could see tears streaming down her cheeks. Her entire body convulsed with sobs, and her son could only look on at the spectacle unfolding in his doorway, an expression of worry and question etched on his dark features. Her older son put down his brother and…

The House of Dolls I wake up panting and screaming not knowing where I’m at. All I can say or think about is Yuri. ‘’Yuri! Where is Yuri!’’ as I’m screaming I see nurses and police rush into my room. The first to approach me is Deymian. Deymian is a tall, buff, bold, 28 year old detective. “Hello Anah, I’m detective Deymian.” As i open my mouth to speak nurses rush in shouting “Vash poryake Anah Vash v bezopasnosti”… “It's okay Anah you're safe now” I reply saying “ Ya v poryadke.” I’m fine but…

My mother tells me that dreams are crossroads, not belonging to the mortal or spirit world. In dreams, the deceased can communicate with the living, tie up loose ends. The lost souls would be able to apologize for anything done wrong, be able to say “I love you” one last time, and even tell them where a certain large stack of money is hidden. The possibilities are infinite in Crossroad. Once anything that made the spirit feel fragmented arose, they were condemned to wander Crossroad in search of…

As I walk towards King Hamlet’s coffin, I experience the smell of death. I begin pondering on the thoughts of winning. “I killed him!” I grew confidence, and I killed him. “Killed” is the word most prominently plunged into my mind. Why is “killed” stuck in my head? Well, because I killed my brother. Sorry that I am repeating myself, but I am just astonished that I have succeeded something I have been craving about doing for a long time. Enough about the word “kill,” I look towards my brother. My…

Lady Ezekiel was walking home on a cool, windy afternoon. She was an older woman of small stature who looked as if she had worked her entire life. As she walked around the corner leading to her driveway she noticed her grandchildren noisily playing in her yard. Running throughout the yard, the house, and her flower garden. Though she was overjoyed at the sight of these beasts, she couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated that her daughter had dropped them off without so much as a phone call. As…
