  • Marriage

    Why did he freak out  It was only one question  Will you marry me 

  • Memory

    I felt a panic attack rise in my chest as I realized I didn’t remember.  Didn’t remember anything but the last twenty-four hours of my life. I had gone to sleep the night before, just like always, but when I woke up, I didn’t even know my own name.  Or where I was.  I looked…

  • The Neighbor

    Photo by Tom Rumble on Unsplash  As the ambulance approached my neighbor’s house, I wondered who it was picking up.  I hoped it wasn’t Mr. Cooper.  He was the only neighbor who understood me, much less talked to me.  Everyone else on the street often pretended I didn’t exist and often crossed the street if we were walking…

  • Freedom

    “It’s my last night of freedom,” I said to myself.  Then I said it out loud.  To my friends.  I knew they didn’t have any idea as to what I was talking about.  They didn’t know what I knew.  The next day I was supposed to marry New York’s newest millionaire.  I knew the life…

  • You Define Love

    “You define love,” I wanted to whisper, but ended up biting my tongue instead.  I was scared my views would be blown out of the water by my more thoughtful and poetic fiancee.  There were many times I totally felt inadequate by his words, his actions and his thoughtfulness.

  • Dropped Coffee

    Jackson came busting into the room like he owned it.  I dropped my coffee onto the floor, but managed to move my already broken toe out of the way just before my mug shattered on top of it.  “What-” I managed to stutter with hot black coffee dripping down my legs. Without a word, Jackson…

  • 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…

  • What Could Have Been

    “I knew your story could go further depending on one moment.  One moment that will change the course of your entire life.”  I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what my life would be like with Kevin still here.  Would we be celebrating our fifth anniversary or not?  Would he had left me if…

  • 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…
