  • 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 –…

  • 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…

  • 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. …

  • Hidden Secrets

    “Where do you think he would have hidden it?”  Tyler lay on the hill next to me and whispered into my ear.  He knew I hated the way his whispers tickled my ear, but did it anyway.   “It’s a car.  It’s not like he can hide it somewhere in plain sight.  If it’s not in the…

  • From the Grave

    As soon as Nathan went indoors he was completely out of his natural habitat.  I always found it to be kind of funny, but also endearing he couldn’t find his way around a house.  Especially a kitchen.  The first time I went over, I wasn’t surprised to find his entire house was blue.  Blue dishes,…

  • Epic Countdown

    The final moments of my night culminated in the biggest letdown I had ever experienced.  Even I was shocked by the amount of grief I felt in the pit of my stomach from what I was hoping would have been an epic night.  I knew I had placed too much energy into how I thought…

  • Bonfire

    The warmth of the fire did not lessen the ice forming in the pit of my stomach.  I knew to get what I wanted, I would have to temporarily abandon the woods and the bonfires I dearly loved.  I knew following my dreams required me to be in the city for a few short months…

  • Love Shaped Mistake

    My love shaped mistake obsessed over wearing green.  A color I hated beginning on day 651.  Greg had been my first love and the one who successfully sabotaged everything I had worked for. Every single aspect of my life had slowly gone to pot before my eyes during Greg and I’s relationship.  At one time,…

  • The Blizzard

    The blizzard started out as something I was terrified about and turned into one of the more positive events in my life thus far.  Having just moved to Wyoming, I was still getting used to the lay of the land when the storm hit.  I had last minute decided to go to a ‘getting to…

  • Bad Intentions

    “She never had good intentions when she started dating Andrew.  I mean, do you remember how she was also talking about the online dating she was doing when Andrew was out of town for soccer?”  I leaned back on the park bench and tried to get comfortable on the rough cement. I never understood why…
