“What do you think will happen if we all lived forever??” “The same thing that has been happening since we came into existence; killing each other and ruining the environment out of greed”
Leap
As she stepped up and out a sudden gust of wind blew through her hair, and as it flailed wild and free, so too did her heart, which raced with excitement at the thought of taking that next step. Breathe deep, eyes closed, JUMP…
purrfect pet
“Tiddles wants his food mummy”My daughter whines pulling on my sleeve. I wonder how to tell her that her cat died three years ago, in the sam accident as her.
boo
I was going to hide in the cupboard, she would never find me there. But it was taken by her late husband.
stream scream
I looked thoughtfully into the stream. Then I realized it was looking back
Daring
“Don’t you dare!” he shouted, running towards me, trying to get the weapon from me.
But I dared… and I dared skillfully.
Dark Side
They were delighted to finally hear I have a dark side after confessing, during our team’s drinking session, that I’ve carefully planned to really hurt people for making fun of me all the time. I was too glad to see them truly happy for me for once that I decided to postpone tonight’s plan for them until the next team gathering.
Drained
As expected, I saw another disgusting pile of my roommate’s hair clogging the shower drain. Irritated, I started to forcefully pull the strands out only to hear someone’s screams of pain screech out from the drain pipe.
Hair of The Dog

I received a text from an anonymous number, and when I read it, it said:
“What’s your name, little girl? I’d like to know who I’m looking at.”
Matters of the Heart
My ex-husband told me that he would steal my heart again.
It now sits in a jar on his nightstand.
Her Mother
My five year old daughter asks her mother to read her a bedtime story every night.
Her mother died five years ago in childbirth.
Patriot
Three men, total strangers to each other, sat in the buffet-car of the Bangkok express as it hurtled through the night toward Kuala Lumpur.
“Looks pretty good, doesn’t it?” One of the men, an Englishman, waved his hand towards the silver-washed jungle as the Frenchman nodded in agreement and only the Australian remained silent, confident and knowing.
Black Listed
It was the second leg after a 36 hour layover. We hit it off straight away, laughing raucously, as the flight attendant kept bringing us free wine.
I smiled as I watched the lady scold herself for being so scared when that stupid black cat had jumped in front of her in that dark alley. That smile turned into a grin when I realized she hadn’t noticed me standing right behind her.
Monsters in the closet
“Dad, there are monsters in my closet!” He replies, “I know, son.”

Most girls first memories are of being given a bottle, or rocked to sleep.
Mine is of being raped.
Peter None
I was dancing in the studio alone, practicing Wendy’s part for our upcoming school play, when the music suddenly stopped. I was about to fix the sound system when I noticed that a dark shadow continued to dance just beside my reflection in the mirror, which surely wasn’t Peter Pan’s.
