For My Best Friend

The light was soft as the sun departed for the day. “Hurry up, Peter, my mom said I had to be back before it gets dark!” Annabelle weaved her way in between the trees of the dense forest that surrounded their neighborhood.

Annabelle stopped and face him, “I can’t be late again, I promised my mom....

My God, I have you back sweetheart

It is a bright sunny afternoon. Every once in a while a couple of cars pass by the square park. Under sunlight, car shadows move forward as if fish are swimming through the tree shades cast on the roadway. Usually the park becomes lively after the work hours.

The Lake

As always, Martina was talking to her best friend Kalli about how much she hates the new math teacher. “‘I am going to tell you again, do not talk in class,’” Martina said in her most scrumptious voice, “I was just trying to get a pencil.” Kalli said, “oh yeah, and also trying to tell ‘tea’ to Marcus, you need to come up with better excuses and use your inside voice.” “If your going to harass ...

“Come on! Don’t b...

The Dream Car

“A journey of a lifetime!” A phrase that keeps repeating in my head as we merge onto the highway. We slide into the express lane and Chase increases our speed from 50 to 70–wait no—75, 80, 90…100!!

I can’t move, but my heart won’t stop moving. I’m overtook by adrenaline as the road, before me, is being swallowed. The adjacent cars are a blur—countless they come, countless they go. My eyes are more...
