Happy Birthday

The dining hall screams extravagance. Harmony, my boss, is having her thirtieth birthday party. Her family owns the company I work for.

Today is also my birthday, but no one here will know that. I just need to stay till Harmony sees me, then I can go home and eat ice cream with my roommate, Rose. Twenty minutes tops.

My hair is a wet, and now frizzy, mess since I couldn’t find my umbrella. It ...

Twenty more minutes and then I can finally close the store. I’ve been looking forward to going home and working on my painting. That and relax. It’s been a long day.

It’s the first busy day after a slow summer. We sell clothes, cute nicknacks, kitchen items, and more. It’s not a crazy large space, but it’s got room to move around.

Dolly Parton fills the speakers as I start to blow out some can...

Just A Second

The grand apartment is crowded, dark, and loud. I can’t hear my friend tell me she’s grabbing a drink, but I can see her make enough motions with her hands to take a guess. The bass of the music is loud enough for me to feel throughout my body.

As I join in to dance with a decent sized crowd, I decide to not think about the bizarre week and just let go. I jump and move with the rhythm, grateful ...

The damp bodysuit will cling to a person like a second skin. Out of the water, it will feel grainy, rubbery, and heavy. Once it’s subermeged, it will become light, airy, flowy, and slick almost like slime. It would be hard to grab ahold of another person in the water.

These suits will allow the people of the Deep to never resurface until they wish to. They can be under the surface for days strai...

“That’s the last box.” I smooth the comforter on her bed with my hand. It’s black and white striped, so different from her bedroom at home. It makes me think of all the comforters she’s had since she was a little girl. Pink ribbons, butterflies, fuchsia, and the Little Mermaid were all unalike what she chose for her room now.

When did pink become not grown up enough? Or have I just lived in denia...

“The T-Rexes look like giant chickens!” I yell into the receiver to Mike. “They are covered in feathers and some have different colors. They don’t communicate really, and they’ll bite if you get too close, but they aren’t near as vicious as we thought they were.”

I landed into this alternate dimension a week ago. My group hadn’t heard from me and thought I was dead. But today I was able to find ...

“Why are you doing this?!” He screams at me. The jewelry store worker is clinging to life and at the hole I put into his stomach.

I take a deep breath in and let it out. “I’m incredibly selfish.” I shrug and laugh. “And I like nice things.”

This is the truth. I gave up on attempting to be a good person a long time ago. Now I live life the way I want. It’s worked for me so far.

I am here before you today already a convicted murderer in your eyes. ‘A man that chose violence instead of forgiveness,’ I heard someone say earlier this morning. But really I am nothing more than a father.

Why did I take justice into my own hands? Because he slipped through the cracks and got away with taking my daughter’s innocence. He didn’t even serve a single day in jail. He stole from her...

“Are all the dead just chilling or walking around?” I ask Leo as we hold hands and walk downtown. His hand feels equal parts hot and cold, like an icy hot. Leo is the grim reaper. I didn’t even know that the grim reaper was a legit thing two days ago.

But my thoughts are going crazy on why there are so many dead people just looking around and walking slowly. And Leo is incredibly hot, but I shoul...

Victory almost tastes like a tart fruit. It’s refreshing like the relief of getting to this point, that it’s all over. The sweetness is the pure joy and elation of success. But it’s the tartness that lingers on the palate, a sour reminder of the pain, losses, and sacrifices it took to reach victory....
