The Blue Room

I'm just a blue fish. I live in the living room of my owners house. I live in a small bowl with cool colorful rocks and a couple of plastic plants. Im sitting on top of a side table next to a picture of my favorite owner. She has brown hair and blue eyes. She's my favorite because she always gives me a little extra food when no one's watching. She also uses a fish net instead just dumping me while cleaning my bowl. Sometimes it gets a little boring being a fish. Most of the time I just swim…

the rest of the room. As she steps out of the shower, she wraps herself in the soft material of her vibrant orange towel. She wipes off the foggy mirror and begins her nighttime routine. She gently washes her face to remove the oil and sweat that accumulated throughout the day. She then applies a creamy green face mask that reminds her of the aliens with rough, green skin she imagined when she was younger. As the face mask dries, she squeezes a dollop of toothpaste onto her bright blue…

florescent to LED, and add some color with a lamp or lampshade,” says Thomas. “A white lampshade can transform your whole room interjecting airiness.” Refreshing for spring can be as cheap as rearranging the livingroom furniture making it feel like a whole, new space. Updating the pillows in lighter weight fabrics, like cotton and linen, with floral patterns or stripes, and in coral and blue, or teal and lime green makes the area lighter and bright. Thomas advises using light-weight fabric…

I had to be back in the cabin that night. Normally my curfew is 12am, but that night in particular I thought I could stretch it a bit because we had no obligations for the next morning. I went back to the room, changed, grabbed my phone then went out. The usual meeting spot was the card room, specifically on deck 10 aft. Fortunately, I had met up with everyone right on time. After having causal awkward conversation for the past few hours, we all thought it was time to relocate and do something…

and complexity of stillness and motion that goes almost unnoticed every day. Viewers are drawn in to observe the masterpiece initially by the bright red, mellow blue, and vibrant red colors used in the scenic view painted before them. In essence, the painting is of a medium length rectangular, wooden table partially extending from a room inside of an apartment or condo, out onto a balcony with cast iron railings. The ocean and general warmth of the colors used adds a curious, yet inviting tone…

Quietly, I approach the room, and peak my head in, gun at the ready of course. Inside is nothing but an old overhead projector that is somehow still on. I don’t know how it is working, but I am not going to think too much about it because I will spook myself out and I can’t afford…

Dust occupied the vacant room, boxes were on top of boxes, people moved in and out of the house. I sat in the corner of my room trying to ignore the people taking away my belongings, trying to hide from the monster. “Posso preindere questa scatola?” a mover with an ovalish face and flowy hair came up to me and asked. I looked up from the ground and my emerald eyes widened with confusion. “Non parlo italiano,” I responded. “Can I take this box?” the man said in a rich Italian…

When I was born my mother was living in Calumet, so that’s where I was. My birth put a delay on things. She was 18 by one day and still finishing high school. That is where we lived for the first two years of my life. I don’t recall anything from that time but I’ve frequently gone back to the house, until recently. The house itself is not within the city limits of Calumet; it is alongside Lake Superior. The road going to it passes by the soccer fields and slopes down the longest hill i 've…
