Love ya! ♥️


“Run!” Her voice said playfully.


The 3 other little girls ran into the forest.


Abby gave them a 5 second head start before running. Her shoes were not made for this but she would make it work.


They had all just got back from the aunts wedding so they were in heels and dresses. It was a great time but know everyone was leaving, and the grownups were talking. Theref...

Murder Mystery

Two minutes.

That’s all the time I had left.

Two minutes until I solidify my status as either the greatest success or the ultimate failure with my new friends.

No pressure.

“So? Do you have an answer?” Someone shouts from the back. I look up from the incomprehensible to anyone but me scribbles of my notebook toward the gangle of costumed people surrounding me.

The murder mystery underway had gon...

Pursued.

It started all like a chess game. He, white. Opening up with two steps in. Ready to advance, attack, or whatever. It was as if his mind wasn’t made up yet. The other hand, she was gentle. Soft, but firm. A patient woman, and true. She played her part well. Opening up where she felt-she could. Advancing her intention with much, much-thought.


Where is the man patiently in love? Messily advancing i...

Truth

“Truth or Truth Mir?” I look up at the sound of my preferred name. I roll my eyes, “do we seriously have to play this game?!” Gabe rolls he’s eyes at me “It’s tradition! Tilly, Wylie back me up here” Tilly sighs “it is what we do on the first day of summer since we were 5” Wylie nods “can’t break the tradition now” I grin despite myself “fine you probably won’t believe this, but I pick truth” Gabe...

The Game

There’s only one way to play the game.


Strike hard. Strike fast


A pair of dice roll onto the mahogany desk, bouncing off each other and clattering in opposite directions. The pieces land on two numbers: a three and a six


The room seems to quiet. Air vents let out a cool whistle and the players are baked in flourescent lights. Everyone is collectively holding their breath.


People in the crowd...

One Truth at a Time

“Sometimes I feel like a ghost in this house,” Julia says, matter-of-fact, and takes a piece from the bottom right of the Jenga tower. She doesn’t even glance at the easy block near the top.

 

Her husband Mark doesn’t hesitate. He reached for the opposite corner of the foundation. “I’m tired of pretending we’re okay.” 

They’re dismantling the base.

They go on like this, round after round. Calm ...

Death Wish

“Tick, Tock. Tick, Tock. Time is running out!” the clown said with amusement. She looked kind of doll like, big round eyes, rosy cheeks. The point of the game was to find her, but there was mirrors and she was an illusionist.


I didn’t really want to find her but I wanted to win. As I searched for her I heard her giggling then say, “If you win, your biggest wish will come true!”


I turned ...

The House

The house.

The house that now stands sad and gloomy

Once stood happy and inviting,

This house had open doors for all,

People would come and go,

Normally staying for months at a time,

The people who came to the house seemed like nice people, but weren’t always as nice as they first were,

They would abuse the house and it’s welcoming feeling but still stay,

The house grew more damaged over time,

...

Roll

He glanced at me as I took a seat across from him in the middle of Sam’s dining room. I felt my cheeks burn up as I stared down at the monopoly board.


“Maybe he was just looking my way because I have some spinach in my teeth” I thought to myself while rolling my tongue over my teeth and gums.


I got lost in a daydream while Jan was explaining the rules and house rules. Thinking about how in the...
