- Fiction > All Fiction
You know, society is kind of like that friend you have who argues about every decision you make. A frienemy. A big, giant, fat frienemy. She pressures you and pressures you and then yells if you don’t do something she likes. She likes to mess with girls a lot. So, Society and I have this mutu... - Poetry > Free Versehe smells like wood and fresh blades of grass you swallow your nerves and choke on butterflies as you say hi after class and his eyes look like rain during the summer where concerts took over and he has sunshine-woven hair so you swallow your nerves and choke on butterflies because he’...
- Fiction > All FictionMusic took my life in its hands and shaped it like clay. I was melted butter in a bowl, a ball of silly putty, soft ice cream puddling on the side walk during summer. Music took me by the hair and yanked me to somewhere I’ve never been before. The notes seemed to physically appear before me, forci...
- Poetry > Free VerseHow early is too early? I don't want to be too early. But then again, I don't want to be too late. Eight letters, three words, and one heart Beating like a native drum because His eyes reflect the stars and I don't want to become blinded and miss my chance at saying Eight lett...

- Fiction > Realistic FictionI step out of my car and breathe in the crisp, fall air. When I let out my breath, a small cloud balloons upward. I feel like a dragon. I smile slightly and let out another breath, watching it rise to be with the gray sky above. I look down from the sky to see my favorite floral shop. Normally,...
- Fiction > All FictionI love music. But the feelings aren’t mutual. I’ve been music’s best friend since I was born. We’ve been absolute best friends since. I know a lot about music, I think, and I’m sure music knows a lot about me; we’re just that close. We were really, really close when I was a kid. H...
- Poetry > All PoetryIf I swim the Atlantic Ocean And come up in Japan, If I give birth to a Gorgeous old man, If I count the stars But only count three, If I dive into a pool To pick from an apple tree, If I run a marathon And come in last place, And if I hit a home run But only make it to first base, Will...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionHe was tall. Not too tall, but he was taller than the average seventeen-year-old. Not only was he tall, he was lean, as well. He was skinny. Too skinny. But he wasn't a stick; he had good muscle. He swims. He was on the swim team two years ago and also when we was six. So you could say he had s...
- Poetry > Free VerseSometimes I feel like a girl with mascara running down her face. Sometimes I feel like I say "like" 25 million times in each sentence. Sometimes I feel like such a stereotypical teenager when I said I'd never be one....
- Poetry > Song LyricsAll this hypertension Building up in me Is a result of what happened When I sailed off to sea. Also caused by Mary Sue When she skipped up to the class. "12 plus 12 is 24," She said before the mass. Another is her Majesty When she bowed before the shrine. "Who's shr...

- Fiction > Realistic Fiction“Nicole, what’s wrong?” I asked, reaching out a trembling hand. My sister sat, hugging her knees and staring off at the unfocused world above my right shoulder. “Nicole, I want an answer.” “I don’t know, Jared.” Her voice caught and she didn’t get to finish saying my name. The...

- Poetry > Free VerseCracks On my iPod’s screen. Slicing Through the rythym of life. Ruining What light it has left. Nothing But ridges and hardships. Like ice, It barely slips by. Entirely Visable but still unnoticed by everyone. Cracks On my iPod’s screen Are like My c...
- Poetry > Free VerseI hate love. It is in the top three most powerful emotions. I loathe it, hate it so much… But there’s something in me that is looking forward to it. Like that little kid on Christmas Eve, her heart beating fast, her mind racing. That little kid inside of me wants love like every little ki...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyYou know, sometimes I wonder. To be straight forward and forthright, I wonder why kids like to play pretend. I like to wonder this; it gives me something to pace to, something to crinkle my brow to. Of course, I wonder about a lot of things. If everyone let thoughts cross their minds without stoppin...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyI bowed before him, steadying myself onto one knee. I was surrounded by the blinding whiteness that I’ve only seen seven other times and will rarely ever get to. I felt selectively happy to be, yet again, restarting my life. It was a good thing human brains only use ten percent of their capacity. ...
