An Escape

Luna Moss

It’s the night shift again. Lea takes a sip of the fourth cup of coffee for the day as she reads through her patient’s medical record. Her eyes scan the document, but even the coffee isn’t helping her tonight. The lack of sleep in the past week is finally catching up to her, as her eyes start to close. “Dr. Gilbert wants to meet you in her cabin.” One of the resident doctors informs her. Lea puts away the record and quickly dashes towards Bella Gilbert’s cabin. Bella is a renowned physician with multiple awards in the medical field. Lea idol...

The Sauce

Luna Moss

Two years ago, my life was pretty brutal. I had moved back home after dropping out from med school. To my family’s disdain, not only did I waste their money in pursuit of something I never truly desired, but I asked them for additional money to open up my own restaurant, a childhood dream of mine. They shut the doors after finding out I used up the money they had lent in buying alcohol to get through the tough college semesters. My mother cried about the once model daughter who successfully destroyed her life and is determined to make it wor...

Light in Our Eyes

Luna Moss

The world is an interesting place. The earth and its creatures and their continued evolution is stunning. The resilience and strength that they exhibit is highly profound and intriguing. It should be no surprise that life has sustained and grown for so many years when the living beings inhabiting it seem so driven and lively, always wanting to progress. However, there is a place which has proven quite the opposite. A place that is told by teenagers at sleepovers. A cold and eerie town called Boufall.This town saw no sunrise or sunset. A dim ...

My Reflection

Luna Moss

The music is buzzing louder than ever. The party is in full swing. I can hear the clinking of glasses and the loud conversations as I frantically check my phone in the bathroom stall, trying to focus on the news story being covered. I search through my purse, looking for my earphones so I can tune into the news story and subsequent debate that will follow. I can hear footsteps all around me, opening every stall. And then I hear my name. “Louisa. We’re waiting for you. Are you okay?” My friend Stacy asks from outside the stall. “Just give me ...

Alchemy of Time

Luna Moss

Predina, 2060Violence has grown in the city of Predina. Armed with heavy missiles and rifles, the rebel group has been going from door to door searching for the escaped descendants of the Gilmore lineage. The last thing I can remember is my mother urging me to run like the wind as there were huge bangs on the front door. My shaking mother rushed me through the small escape door in the basement that led me outside in the opposite side of the city; the side I have never been to. Why my mother didn’t follow behind me, can only rationalized in m...

Last Memory

Luna Moss

The meadow is lush with green shrubs and blooming flowers. The summer haze clouds my vision ever so slightly. The sparkling water in the pond catches my fleeting attention. I feel small again. Like I’m ten years old sitting in my grandpa’s lap on one of his many nature treks. The scene feels oddly familiar. I look up to see my grandpa’s face smiling down at me, his eyes brightened with glee.His smile slowly disappears as his hand grabs his chest and he winces in pain, falling back on the ground. I hurriedly get up from his lap, tears running...

The Remote Highlands

Luna Moss

Our journey begins today evening. A look around and I’m met with tall trees with wide branches blocking the sunlight from hitting the ground beneath. I tightly hold onto my camera gear as we start ascending the remote highlands. The crickets grow louder and the woods get thicker. The path gets narrower as Mara and I push the plants away from our faces, creating our path to reach the top. “The forest ends a few miles from here. We’ll have an easy time climbing.” I tell Mara while I grip the tree trunk and pull myself up. I lend my hand to a t...

The Imperfect World

Luna Moss

My hand makes contact with the cold glass and my eyes land on the woman behind it, shaking, and unpredictable as she starts to speak.“I don’t remember where I was infected…..but I know I had a fever that lasted for three days. I was put in a containment room and my parents were told that this is it…. That I can never be normal. I cried and never realized that it would be the last time I felt sadness. What I felt later was rage. Uncontrollable rage. I wanted to kick and scream and then punch and kill. I took a knife to the eye of a male nurse...

Ingrid’s Journal

Luna Moss

My head is spinning, the autumn leaves fall around, on my waist, over my head, on my hair, as I try to see clearly at the moon hidden behind the big oak trees. A movement below my feet catches my attention causing me to stir, a failed attempt. I hear the soft strums of guitar as I feel a tightening on my feet, like they are tied together by a thick rope and I get pulled….out of my sleep, sweat beads on my forehead.“It happened again?” My husband John asks, giving me a side hug as I sit upright on our bed. I just nod my head and take a quick ...

Bow for Nature

Luna Moss

I stand firmly on my feet; one foot resting on the thwart and the other foot catching a grip on the water filled floor of the rapidly swaying boat. I take one swift look at the cyclops and notice that it’s tired from all the magic that my crew has used. It’s weakened and I can kill it swiftly in one go. I pull the arrow back and shoot for its heart. We watch as the creature falls back in the water holding his heart.“You did it! Delia!” Everyone cheers on. I give everyone the same satisfied smile that I’ve given before in these mini battles w...

Characters of Artis Grove

Luna Moss

“And the winner of best book of the year is ‘The dragon’s den’. The presenter announces and the audience erupts into applause. I stuff my face with grilled cheese sandwich as I involuntarily clap for the happiest person in the room, without realizing that it’s me. My book just won the award? “Toni! Congratulations!!” My publicist yells at me as everyone giddily cheers me on to go on the stage to receive the award. I wipe the crumbs from my cheap suit as I walk toward the podium. This is a surreal moment. I guess all the tips and tricks worke...

Lophill secrets

Luna Moss

There’s some weirdness around Lophill. The people are mellow and calm and tend to be older. But there’s always a darkness around here that I can’t quite put my finger on. So, this visit, which will be my final visit, I want to successfully convince dad to shift in to my apartment. It’s spacious with four bedrooms. That Med school education finally paid off. I sit patiently in my dad’s dusty old living room. The couch is tearing apart and the yellow foam underneath is visible. Dad walks in calmly after pushing through the jammed door of the s...

Brighter than Before

Large airplanes fly too close to the tall building making a soft roaring sound causing the crowd on the streets to look up for a brief moment and then go back to resume their jobs.

A choice in a forest

Luna Moss

The beautiful Forest of Clardens welcomes its guests with open arms. With the absence of warmth in my own life, I feel drawn to walk in to the woods and get lost. The trees swaying softly on the windy day, fills me with joy. I walk inside the dense forest with my camera and notepad, ready to start my journey of studying the new species of herb my lab had discovered. This project needs to go perfectly.“You take the east side Julie. Andrew and I will walk the opposite way” Karen, my colleague says deadpan as she’s busy with unlocking her bag t...
