The Still

Josefine R. Dalsager

The wind doesn’t howl through the window as it did before, there’s no cold blows rushing in anymore, we had it fixed. We don’t have to huddle up under fluffy blankets and sleep with our limbs intertwined to stay warm. The roof doesn’t leak either, I don’t have to put a bucket in the designated locations, but the stain beneath it, from when I wasn’t fast enough, when I forgot to empty a bowl, remains. It curves in the corners and has a dark brown shade to it. Sometimes I lay down on that floor, our wooden floor, I don’t know what wood, the wo...

Submitted to Contest #272

It’s christmas eve, I’m sitting in my room, the time is almost midnight and i’m exhausted. What a night, what had happened, why was everybody acting so weird. It was supposed to be a quiet night with my mom, dad and older sister. She doesn’t live at home anymore, she is a lawyer and lives in the city.

All The Same.

Josefine R. Dalsager

Submitted to Contest #247

Every day is the same, the clock rings to wake us up in our side by side beds. In rows we get up, synchronized after years of routine. In tact with each other we make our beds, beat by beat, the same every day. We walk in one neat line out to brush our teeth, our hair, standing up right, sleep long since away from our minds. The mirror we look into are all the same, uniform circles, and the faces we see look so much alike now, that we can look at each other and see ourselves. We put on our white dresses, our clean white shoes. Wide white smi...

The Moon Close

Josefine R. Dalsager

Submitted to Contest #245

Stacy had reluctantly agreed to travel up the mountain. When Peter and Aaron first pitched the idea, to go up high where the moon would be at its clearest, she had declined. She had thought it was a waste of time, hadn't seen a point in it when she could see it just at well from the plaza. For days they had both talked about the trip non-stop, excited about witnessing something away from the crowd. She had rolled her eyes at them, and everytime they asked she said that she would rather be with her family anyways. Stacy didn't want to be away...
