Fireworks

_Hello! I’m Selene and I’m thirteen years old! I was told to write about yesterday’s fireworks show and my opinion on it. I love fireworks! My parents brought me over to the park early before it started so we would catch the whole thing. It was loud! But also magical!

Fireworks

The room is dark, lights out

As she sits in her chair

Wrapped in blankets

The room flashes with lights from outside

Her grandson sits ou...

Sunrise

“It’s too cold, it’s so dark, why do we have to wake up so early, can I go back to bed after this?” Whined 7 year old Danyal. His grandmother had woken him up at 4:30am on a Saturday to watch his first sunrise on the first day of half-term.


“It will start getting brighter any second now, just keeping sipping the hot chocolate, and you’ll be as warm and cosy as you were before came out here”, she ...

The Polling Station

Danny strode in like he owned the place, and his worn plaid flannel and jeans did not match his demeanor. He leaned against the booth and made a few selections, one arm above his head keeping his balance. The other hand intermittently stroking a beard of patchy white while trying to make a decision.


June was working the table where voters sign in, and had watched a few hundred people do this ver...

Hair Dye

The grocery store is sooooo boring! The little girl didn’t want to go aisle to aisle with one like two of them having stuff she cares about.


Her Granny promised her some candy for coming with her. That makes the boredom a little easier to swallow.


Turning into another aisle, the little girl gasps.


A girl with pretty pink hair is grasping a cereal box.


“Look Granny! A fairy!”



OoOoO

Watermelon Moonshine

“It’s a … cup,” Nell said.


“I know right,” Haley said. “isn’t it simply gorge.”


Crowds of people bustled around them. An ocean of gleeful grabbing hands reached for the boxes of thermal cups. Blinking in confusion, Nell watched the towering stack of boxed cups be swarmed.


“Does it do something else? I bet it connects to the internet. You can text,” Nell said.


“No, it’s—“


A brilliant flash bl...

What Are We Looking At?

Her body laid among glass shards, dented black mental and steady streams of blood running down the fragmented vehicle.


It was almost an art peice. The kind the edgy artist who stayed in the corners of the highschool. Face painted in only backs and undeserved hatred to the world would heil like a God.


Not her. She analysed it with a displeasured faced, her golden eyelashes fluttering at her bro...
