Gracie Mae

Just someone who loves Jesus, books, and a good cup of coffee. Books are strangely magical, they can make you cry, laugh, and worry all at the same time. I hope to spread a little of that magic through my stories.

Log 24

Storm. Boat with holes. Water flooding in. Have to get buckets. Sinking. Can’t breathe. And then… orange sand? My eyes open to a dim light. My head is pounding like a thunderstorm and my wrist is bent weirdly beneath me. Wood. Why am I on wood? Is this heaven? Did I die? My eyes slowly start to take in my surroundings. My ship. I’m on my ship! But… where...

Born To Lead

Calathen gripped the windowsill tightly, gazing through the crystal-clear glass into the forest. He stared worriedly at the path that led through the city center. The flowers were in bloom and the trees were just beginning to bud. “She’s being reckless,” he thought while running his fingers through his dirty blonde hair, “why couldn't she just listen to me?” Although he knew he was expected in an ...

What Is It?

2 min read

It’s not a human, it’s most certainly not a creature… what is it? I thought creeping along behind the pillar. Suddenly I felt thankful for my soft woolen shoes as they whispered over the crystal floors. All my life I knew I would need survival skills. Everyone told me nothing bad could ever happen to our quaint little village. I tried to believe them, but I couldn’t. Something told me I would need...

Calathen’s Head

The waves crashed mightily against the rocks far below. The seagulls cried their mournful songs as they swooped overhead. But these were not nearly as loud as the thundering in his head.

“Of all the choices you could have made, this is the worst.”

“I was trying to let her live her own life. Isn’t that a noble thing?” Part of him thought. Then the other interjected.

“Noble? Allowing her to marry ...

“I see you don’t know how things work around here. Let me have the privilege of explaining it to you.” The man said. “Prove yourself, you move on, fail, and you won’t see the light of tomorrow.” He then stepped aside to reveal a rack. I internally cried when I saw the weapon of choice. I had always been at the bottom of my bracket in archery. I stepped forward, trying to have utter confidence with...

The Dinner Party

Gracie Mae

I stared uncomfortably at my plate. A million smells hit my head painfully. Susen’s perfume was giving me a migraine and her loud boisterous voice wasn’t helping. I folded and unfolded my hands, hoping no one would ask me any questions. My appetite had left long ago. The dress I was wearing was much too tight and breathing was impossible. Not to mention that I don’t understand the ruffles. Why wou...

The Edge Of The World

Gracie Mae

4 min read

Calathen opened his eyes. This place never ceased to amaze him. It was as if he was perched on the edge of the world. With his back against a large oak and his arms crossed behind his head he looked at the waves. He sat at the edge of a cliff. The sheer drop went down hundreds of feet. The wind blew fiercely so far up, but he was not afraid. He had been here many times. This was his quiet spot. Al...

Ethenlia

Gracie Mae

2 min read

Her deep crystal blue eyes peered out from under dark lashes. Ethenlia had always been followed around by young men. With her long, wavy dark hair falling around her like a silhouette, she definitely caught the eyes of many. But this of course disgusted her because she would live forever (unless someone killed her that is) and they would maybe live to be 75. To her kind she was not exactly conside...

Endless Dreams

The grass was green and wet with dew from the morning mists. I breathed in deeply, enjoying the sound of the birds early songs. But something was missing. I looked around, slowly becoming more and more anxious. To the natural eye, everything was normal. Everyone was doing things exactly as they should. A little boy ran around his mother laughing merrily as a cart of goods led by an angry looking m...

The Feeling Of Content

Gracie Mae

1 min read

The key they’d given me still fit in the lock, but the house no longer felt like home. I had I stayed away to long. Simply seen to much. I had a whole life while I was away. Even though it was only a year. The terrible things I had been through, the pain and losses of close friends bought through near death experiences was to heavy a weight. It was one I could not put down. I knew that it would fo...
