The Snowman

Maybe today would be different, maybe the snow would make things better.

Dear Diary,

I know I said in my last diary entry I was going to look into F, but I have other business to attend to first: her.

I was out at 2am taking a walk trying to come up with a way to find information on F when something caught my eye. The girl looks no older than 10 years old, hand being pulled by the man towards the alley at 2am in the morning. I could hear her yelling for help...

One Sentence

The blank screen on my phone stared back, defiant, daring me to leave it untouched. My fingers hovering over the keyboard and my mind working to come up with a starting line to my story. It has been a while since I last wrote anything and I wasn’t expecting it be this hard when I came back.

“Just one sentence,” I mumble. “That’s all.”

My eyes scan the sentence I wrote, “There were two things I ...

Four months ago, an invitation came in the mail. The blue envelope with my name written in calligraphy in orange pen, Amelia Harris.

When: September 18, 2024 at 7pm

Where: The Old Gym at Washington High School. Yes, the one that has the musty smell that clings to every surface - a potent mix of mildew, rust,...

Echoes of the Past

I find myself at the entrance of the house where I grew up, my heart racing fiercely. The home that served simultaneously as a refuge and a cage appears untouched after 12 years since I was forced to leave on my 18th birthday.
