Playing Guitar This Morning before school, I decided I was going to play on my Electric Guitar. I took a break from it for a long time. I have been playing Highway To Hell by ACDC for almost the whole time I’ve had my guitar. I said “You know what? I’m going to learn Symphony Of Destruction by Megadeth!”, and so I practiced for a … Continue reading Microfiction by Toby Vance

                                                                  Little Goldfish         Laying in a bed of cotton clippings and  decaying rose trims, the weeping statue prayed. Old crayon scribble drawings decorated the halls and walls of the rooms we once played in. Now empty and dark, water damage stained the floors and ceiling of the small white steeple.

Ryan always pointed his rough, oil-covered, mechanic finger at us and said, “You be careful on that thing! You could kill yourself if you go to fast!” He was a hard working … Continue reading The Quick Ride by Aubrey Lackey

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
