I was on my merry way to deliver some goodies to my horribly ill grandmother.

Prancing through the forest and letting my red cloak brush against my legs, I had heard a low menacing growl behind me, I was so surprised I dodged and jumped right off the pathway and rolled into a dark and damp sink hole! It must’ve been deep because I fell for a long while.

I had some time to think as I fell but a...

“One marigold please.”

The voice startled Jane, she looked up from the flowers she was tending to the man. He came every single day with an almost blinding crooked grin.

“Welcome to the cattail boutique and also, hello again sir.” She answered him with a laugh and picked out his flower from the assortment of bright colors with a flourish. “One quarter for the marigold, I’ll have one ready for y...

Rupert was so wonderfully kind and very very big for a goldfish. So the tears that he cried every single day would be almost the size of her head!

My friend and I

We sat in summer

Right in the middle of July

We race all day, it's usually a tie

Sometimes I’m faster

Our tans darkened from the clear sky

We played in trees way up high

Leaving me bewildered

Maybe this hole you could fill

I never thought you’d like me unfiltered

Yet you’re still here I suppose

They couldn't see or hear me, no matter how violently I screamed. My voice echoed through the chaos as the ship plummeted from the sky, a fiery comet of despair. I screamed as the flames roared to life, an inferno consuming our hope, and I continued to scream as they slowly flickered out, leaving us stranded in the unforgiving snow.

I stared at the wreckage before me, a colossal monstrosity that ...

The sound of footsteps echoed through the wide, empty ballroom, each step reverberating with a mournful tone. This grand space, once alive with the joyous chatter and laughter of dancing people, now lay in a state of desolation. Dull, faraway explosions punctuated the eerie silence.

The two dancers, their movements slow and deliberate, glided to the center of the ballroom. Their feet barely graze...
