The Endless Cry

At my old middle school I would sit in the back, and I would never talk. My goal was basically to be invisible. I was nobody’s first choice, but at least I wasn’t their last. But high school is going to be different. You only need one thing to survive it. Popularity. A thing I don’t have. Since kindergarten I’ve never been popular. That’s going to change this summer. New school, new me. During the summer I went shopping, and I bought clothes that barely passed the dress code, make up, and shoes. Not just any old shoes. I bought high heels. ...

The Restaurant

I remember that day very clearly. The day Monica died. It was a normal day for us. We went out to lunch to gossip about our lives. She ordered the steak as usual. When it arrived, it looked odd. I tried to warn her, but she didn’t care “food is food” she declared. The next thing she knew she was screaming in pain. Trying to get something, probably poison, out of her throat. Life drained from her eyes as her body cried for help. I couldn’t help her. The waiters couldn’t help. The doctors couldn’t help. I couldn’t help. Since that day, I decid...

Katie had always been a bad driver. That’s why Melody, her best friend, always offers to carpool with Katie to go to school.  Today Katie looked out the car window, wondering if she will ever become independent. After all, everyone treats her like a child, even her best friend won’t let her drive to school on her own. I’m not to be trusted, Katie thought. Katie leaned closer to the window sill. “Oops!” Katie said as she knocked her phone down in between the seat and the car door so that she couldn’t get it out until they parked. A small...

The Kiss

“Hey Auntie, why aren’t you married?” My niece asked during our family’s yearly Christmas celebration as she was playing with a toy barbie and ken she got for christmas. “Sweetie, it’s not okay to ask someone that.” My brother-in-law said, surprised that such a thing would exit a sweet little child’s mouth. “But mommy said that people who aren’t married by their thirties will grow up to be sad lonely cat ladies” My niece recalled her mother say. “Well, your mother isn’t always right. I’m not lonely, and I don’t have a single cat. At least fo...

The White Hall Dash

Weekly Contest #289

The room is unfamiliar. I don’t know how I got here. I rose from the crinkly paper used as a mattress and yawned. Slowly but surely light filled my eyes like the sun usually would. I blinked and looked to my left to see a pure white wall. I suddenly realized I didn’t know where I had been taken to. I jumped out of the small white cot I had been unconscious on, my back hurting like hell. The hard pillow and mattress didn’t do my back any favors. I looked to my right, and I saw a humongous mirror that covered the entire wall. I wouldn’t have n...
