The Stars Made Me Do It

Tangerine!

1 min read

Tessa read her horoscope every morning before she even checked the news. Sometimes before brushing her teeth. She followed a small astrology blog run by a woman named CelestiaMoon333, who signed each post with a star emoji and the phrase: “The universe whispers, and I translate.”

Tessa believed that.

When it said “Avoid water today, dear Pisces,” she canceled her swim class and refused to shower...

They Shouldn’t Have Said It

They took turns like it was a game.

Ghost stories.

Urban legends.

The kind you swear never happened,

but say them anyway

because the dark makes everything sound better.

Someone mentioned the girl in white

who waits at the edge of the lake,

asking for help with her eyes,

never her voice.

Say yes—you vanish.

Say no—you dream of drowning.

Someone else told the story

about the tall thing in the tree...

The Note

Tangerine!

He spent twenty minutes writing it.

Scratched out the first four tries.

Settled on something smooth.

Mysterious.

Cool, but not trying to be cool.

“You seem different. In a good way.”

Underlined once.

Folded like a secret.

He waited for the teacher to turn.

Slid it across two desks.

It landed perfectly at her elbow.

She looked down.

Looked around.

Looked confused.

He panicked.

Was that the wron...

On Halloween night, every phone in town lit up at once with a photo—your own house, taken from inside, while you were asleep.

No one could trace it, no number, no account—just the caption: “You looked so peaceful. Don’t wake up next time.”

By morning, seven families were found gutted in their beds, mirrors turned inward and screens shattered into their eyes.

The town tried to cancel Halloween the ...

(I had this prompt, rewrite a classic fairy tale as if it were in a different time, but I lost it soooooo. Yeah. This is it.)

She wore the hood like armor,

not for wolves,

but for stares on subway platforms,

for whistles like claws dragging behind her.

The forest was concrete now,

its paths split by neon signs

and alleys that didn’t ask questions.

Grandmother didn’t live in a cottage.

The Arsonist

She didn’t set fires to destroy.

She lit them to wake the sleeping things.

Old dreams buried under dust.

Walls too clean, too cold, too careful.

People called her dangerous.

They didn’t understand that some rooms

need to burn

before they can breathe.

She walked barefoot through fields of ash

and planted wildflowers in the soot.

Not everything was lost—

just what couldn’t carry the heat.

She wh...

There was no music when it broke.

Just the sound of something splitting quietly

beneath the surface.

Not bone,

but belief.

I did not scream.

The silence felt more honest.

Pain came like a teacher,

without kindness,

without pause.

It peeled away the soft parts

and left only what could survive fire.

I wanted to run.

I wanted to vanish.

But the mirror held me still—

made me watch the shift,

What Remains

Tangerine!

There was a moment

no one else noticed—

when the world leaned in

and time forgot to move.

A hand reached out,

not demanding,

just present.

And mine, uncertain, met it.

In that stillness,

we were not names

or stories

or mistakes.

We were

held

beheld

beloved.

No vows spoken.

No promises carved in stone.

Only a breath shared

that made everything lighter.

I don’t know where it went.

That second.

The ABCs Of Peak Life Meltdown

Ate a candle because it looked like cheesecake.

Bought a llama online during a blackout.

Cried when it arrived because I named him “Gary” before knowing his vibe.

Didn’t vibe. Gary’s judging me. Constantly.

Emailed the moon asking for a refund on 2025.

Forgot I don’t own a blender. Tried using a shoe.

Got smoothies and emotional damage.

Hugged a cactus. On purpose. Needed the attention.

Ice cream ...

The ABCs Of Even More Total Life Chaos

Tangerine!

1 min read

-since my previous post “the ABCs of total life chaos” got so much attention, here is my second take on the prompt!-

Attempted to fix the sink with bubble gum and blind optimism.

Broke the entire plumbing system and possibly a law.

Considered just living in a pool float forever.

Decided to Google “how to fake your own disappearance.”

Emailed my boss a resignation letter made entirely of emojis.

F...
