Weekly Contest #345
Nothing's wrong. Nothing. Seriously. Despite myself, here I am, breaking down in front of the waitress at Kaha Sushi.I don’t even know exactly why I’m crying. I don’t know what goes wrong in my brain. Every day, a dopamine chemical spill drips from my brain, and I stare at it in agony to pick it up, but it’s too far for my short arms to reach.What if I had longer metaphorical arms? What if I could take a clean tissue from the box that runs out so fast, pick up the dopamine, and wring the chemical back onto my brain? What if there was a “rele...
Weekly Contest #342
(This is based on a true story from my childhood.) My Gurl Alyxa, I'm so in love with you that I can't listen to love songs without hearing your voice in them.

You'll see it in your bedroom tonight after cheer practice. Love,M...

Fall into it; don’t fight it. It’ll always win if you try to fight it. You’ll end up in a miserable looping pity party. Let the pain win. Sink into it until it gets bored of its own victory and leaves you alone.Vera’...
Weekly Contest #336
I stare down the road from my window, admiring the effort of whoever decorated this park.Christmas of 1942. Festive gold lights on forests of trees that instill hope in you as you drive past them. Evergreen trees on the mountains glazed with snowflakes. Smiling while sneezing at the dust of the Christmas tree because you know it'll be worth the fun. Its leaves are eyelashes batting at you as it smiles back at you with twinkling lights. Leave it to four-year-old Daniel Rosemont to ruin the vibe.For the past three years, throughout the days be...
