  • The Laws of Attraction

    “I’m not sure when the attraction started, but once I realized, I fell hard and fast.  I couldn’t get enough and I didn’t know when to stop.  Or how to stop.”  I wanted to keep talking, but couldn’t figure out how to say exactly how I felt.  I thought if I told Bill exactly how…

  • Enfolding

    “All I wanted you to do was to love me.  To fold me in your arms and never let me go.  You were the only place I feel safe and the only place I want to be for the rest of my life.”    As June read the beginning lines of her short story to the…

  • Perfection

    I stared into his eyes and wanted to leave the party.  Even though Grant and I had met three months ago, I am not confident he remembers my name.  I longed for him to remember, to notice I was there.  To know that I was noticing him. But here he was staring blankly at me…

  • 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…

  • Lisa

    “I’ll be back shortly,” Mr. Jones said as he walked out the classroom door.  The entire class watched as our History teacher walked out of the classroom.  No reason, no explanation, just walked out into the hallway of our tiny high school.  Even with lockers lining the hallway, the walls were still paper thin.  “What is happening?” Lisa whispered loud…

  • What it Takes

    “She doesn’t have what it takes.  Just look at what she’s wearing.  She’ll never make it through the first day.”  Suzette leaned back in her chair and watched the new English teacher set her bag down onto her desk.  She was the third one we’ve had this year and we weren’t even through the fall semester.  Suzette…

  • The Date

    “She has changed her opinion.  Twice.”  My father continued to grumble as my sister headed to her room to change her clothes again.  I looked the other way and smiled.  My sister and I were going to meet our dad’s new girlfriend for the first time since they had started dating and Haley was having a hard time deciding what…

  • Chaotic

    “This looks a bit more chaotic than what you’ve done in the past,” Mr. Ross told me as he crossed his arms.  “Life is chaotic,” I stammered.  I didn’t really want to tell my teacher what really was going on.  It was really none of his business.  He couldn’t do anything about my personal life.  I knew I couldn’t,…

  • Incapable

    “I am incapable of feeling,” I told my teacher.  “I can’t do it even though I have tried.  I’m not even sure what to do anymore.”  When Mr. Stewart didn’t respond, I stood to pick up my backpack and headed toward the door.  I knew I shouldn’t have told Mr. Stewart what was going on. …

  • Clouds

    “His head is always in the clouds,” I overheard my teacher tell my parents.  “Is that a bad thing?”  My mom asked tentatively.  It was probably the fact her head was in the clouds most of the time, but I knew the rumors weren’t true about either of us.  She was just using her art to escape the trauma of her…
