  • Evaluate

    “I should have thought about this before I came. If I had thought about it, I knew the night would take this turn,” I whispered to myself as I watched the party spiral out of control. Part of me was horrified while the other part of me was mesmerized by how everyone was acting. I…

  • Backup Plan

    “You have a backup plan, right?  Like where are we going next?  What’s the next step?”  Adam sat down on my front step and looked at me expectantly.   “Hey you two!  Here’s lunch!”  I was saved from answering by George coming up behind me carrying the pizza I had promised the two of them.  I…

  • Laundry

    PHOTO PROMPT © Na’ama Yehuda  Laundry had always been a big part of my life. Starting from second or third grade, I did my own laundry and wouldn’t let anyone else wash my socks. My mom loved it and my brother didn’t understand. I just knew I could do my laundry the right way and as…

  • The Stairway

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at, but I knew the stairs were leading exactly where I needed to go. Michael was somewhere at the bottom of the stairs and no one else was here to help me get him home. If I didn’t get him home soon,…

  • The Dance

    “We were friends from day one,” James said.  “And then everything changed for reasons beyond my control.”  I sank lower into my seat because I knew exactly what was coming next. James had fallen for my sister and my sister had never wanted anything more. The more time they spent together meant the more James…

  • Love, True Love

    I always wanted to be loved, but never really knew how. And I think it all started with William. He had been the one I knew I would end up with. The one who would fill the lonely hole in my heart. William was all I was looking for in a partner and I think…

  • The Campout

    I had been waiting for this camping trip for weeks.  Months even.  Ever since I had heard about the trip through the grapevine at school, I had been preparing.  I had finally started walking again.  I was slow and unsteady at first, but now I was walking up the hills in our neighborhood without ever…
