  • Sing his Praises

    Russ never made anything easy.  I think part of it was the fact his parents never made anything easy for him.  He just didn’t realize how difficult he made everything.  He just wanted everything to go well so he planned everything to the nines. But if something went off course, Russ often went off course.…

  • Harmless as a Fly

    Everyone always thought that because I was short, I was harmless.  They just didn’t know about my bite.  Not many people had seen me at the height of my anger because it took me a long time to get there. Only a handful of people had ever seen me angry and no one believed them –…

  • My Favorite Band

    The reasoning and excuses I heard about what had happened that September night were out of control.  Tonight, Tim’s anger came running and caused him to punch the leader of Sanders. One punch and Daryl had a broken nose. We had gone to the sold-out show because I was obsessed with Sanders and had been for many…

  • Almost Sure

    “Are you sure you want to go along with this?  I mean, it seems like it is all a little sudden.  No one has even met Roger.  Are you sure you’re sure?”  Taylor continued to bumble over her words as she tried to chide me about my newfound decisions.  My newfound love.  Bad news for…

  • Mrs. Miranda

    The window over the back field was my favorite part of my grandfather’s house.  I could see the entire neighborhood, but more importantly, the field.  I longed to see the animals crossing the field and I knew all the prime times my favorite animals would be there. The fox and her family had quickly become…

  • Mistakes

    “Seriously.  Forget it.  Let’s pretend like it never happened?”  I crossed my fingers under the table and hoped Bruce would just agree nothing had happened.  I was too embarrassed to talk about anything further.  I only knew I had thought he was along the lines I was thinking, but after tonight, apparently I was mistaken. …

  • The Homicide

    “The case has been ruled a homicide.”  I listened to the news and had to get up to pace around the kitchen.  Up until now, Jeff’s death had been ruled accidental and the police were no longer looking into his death.  For three years, I thought I had gotten away with it, but now the…

  • The Law

    “He never cared about laws.  He has always done whatever he wanted and didn’t worry about the consequences.  But why does he always get away with it?”  I fumed around the house because Jesse always got away with everything.  He really could do nothing wrong in the eyes of the law or in the eyes…

  • As Spring Unfolds

    I always told people that Spring was my favorite season.  New life seemed to come back from the dead and it was always a guessing game of what would come back in my yard.  I loved them all, but the show didn’t help.  Spring was always a time I took for my own personal regrowth…

  • Dangerous

    “So, how do you feel about camping?  I know this great site we can go to and not have any neighbors or be bothered for the entire weekend.”  I twisted my scarf around in my hands as I waited for Scott to respond.  I desperately wanted to spend more time with Scott, but I knew…
