I step up to my ball. I can feel the sweat dripping down my back and face. I take one deep breath and start my swing. I am telling myself to just stay calm and swing easy as I feel my hands start to tremble. I got to the top of my backswing and my jitters faded away and were replaced with the sound of … Continue reading Finale by Sara Veara

“I think I popped a nut,” cried Jasin as he rolled off the sled. If it wasn’t for the moon, we’d both be completely blind as we stumbled through the snow. I was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and boots that were too large for me to wear comfortably. Unlike me, Jasin was prepared for the snow wearing a coverall snowsuit and was in no rush … Continue reading A Long Night by Daniel Shifflet

A scream echoed in my ears, drawing my attention from the captivating scene in my book. I lifted my head, rubbing the back of my neck, as my gaze followed the scream of horror in the unfamiliar kitchen. “Why are you screaming?” Holly, my eldest sister, yelled as she shut the front door. Everything in this beach house seemed so ancient, I winced everytime something … Continue reading Spongebob V. Cockroach by Chloe Riggs

Have you ever had your toes noticed? No? Well, I hadn’t either until today. My day started like any other normal summer day. Wake up at eleven, eat, and watch Youtube. Today, I decided to paint my toes bright blue, but I’d regret it later. Once I finished, my mom burst into my room and told me we were going to get groceries. I groaned … Continue reading Blue Toes by Leasah Hutchinson

When my great-great Aunt Lucille’s husband, Junior, died she moved in with my grandma, Shirley. She stayed in my Uncle Kevin’s room. It was fifth grade, and I was just a little girl in love with my grandma. I stayed over there a lot, and always ended up sleeping in my father’s old room. It wasn’t a large room. The walls were painted an Aegean … Continue reading Darling Souls by Madison Harvey

A few years ago, maybe two or three, my dad and friends summoned a demon in our living room. The friends that were with my dad were Indy and Kk, they were living in our basement at the time until they could find their own place, and as far as I know, summoning demons isn’t in the norm for them. Anyway, while me and my … Continue reading CHARLIE by Cody Doorn

The sweat dripped from my forehead as the sun lowered in the sky. While shielding my eyes, I watched the deer dance around the hills of the golf course. The bees were peacefully playing in the flowers. In shock, I pointed at the black clouds just above the far mountain. “That looks troubling.”  Joe agreed and said, “Let’s go and get our cars.”  I expressed … Continue reading Stung by Harly Didawick

Hi, I am Liberty. I am 14 and I will be telling you about some things involving me, my brother and my family. My brother and I have been close since we were little. My brother is currently in the Army. I will say one of the hardest things for me was when he left for basic training.  It affected me emotionally and made a … Continue reading Untitled by Liberty Bonjour

My friends and I set up a D&D session at one of their houses. D&D is a tabletop role-playing game where you play as a fictional character you create. Every D&D session has a Dungeon Master (also known as a DM). That’s the person who runs the session, chooses the story, plays as monsters and npc’s, etc. This was a new session with a new … Continue reading Memoir of the Five Dwarves by Jada Dean

“CALIE JOHNEIEN BROWN GET UP AND CLEAN THIS ROOM!” I wake to my aunt yelling at me; I roll over to face her and ask her to repeat herself. “I said to get up and clean this pigpen of a room.” She stomped out. So I stand up, stretch and look around the room to see what needs to be cleaned. I decide to clean … Continue reading Hoarding Problems by Calie Brown
