It was just another day. I had just finished my shift at TJ Maxx and was waiting at the bus stop to get back home. It was raining heavily and I cursed myself for wearing trainers instead of rain boots as I fidgeted from the cold and the impatience of waiting for the bus. I couldn’t wait to get home and get into my warm pajamas. These days, it felt like the only good thing in my life was that brief moment when I got out of my day clothes and got into those pajamas. Ever since my mother died two years ago, my life felt like it was going downhi...

Summer. The worst season ever. And thanks to global warming, summer is getting longer and longer while winters get shorter and shorter.

He said I looked like her alot but there were no pictures of her that I could compare myself to. We live in a...

When I was in their arms, nothing could harm me because I knew they loved and cared about me more than anything else and we all loved each other. That was enough to topple anything that could come our way. They were flawless. Sometimes they wouldn’t let me do the things I wanted, like eat ice cream for dinner but they would tell me that if I did, I wouldn’t get bigger. Of course that stopped me from a...

She was finally at the spot she had been trying to reach for the past hour. The view was perfect and the sun was just right. There were long pine trees all around her and 200 meters away from her was an opening between the trees were the light was shining through on the lake. It was beautiful and she had hiked to this spot for the sole reason of taking a photograph of that specific view. It was just as she had remembered it. A month ago, Sandra’s mother had died and she was stricken with grief, unable to get out of bed. It was sudden an...
