- Fiction > Realistic Fiction“You’re commin’ back, Addi-lynn? Right? You’re commin’ back?” Tears flowed down his face despite his manly effort not to cry. After all, big boys didn’t cry. “I don’t know, TJ” her words were a rough whisper that would carry her away. He reached out and pulled her close, but...
- Opinion > Movies / Music / TVI hear voices. That being said, I am not insane nor do I believe in ghosts or spirits. I just love to listen.

All of these floated across Makenzie’s mind like a bizarre PowerPoint presentation. Her hand traced curlicues over the sketchbook hidden beneath a façade of several pages of notes seemingly of ...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionI’d never seen Will without his camera; it was just as much a part of him as his head. We had known each other since the first day of freshman year and I had yet to see him put the thing down. Three years later, when we were juniors, Mom’s company dropped the bombshell; we were moving. It was...
- Poetry > All PoetryCold faces fixing you in the glare Of hard unseeing eyes Delicate Worrying about cracking And loosing “perfection” Fixable, yes All but their heart of glass It can be mended but Eternally full of cracks Only to be easily broken again Hiding it under a painted smile and Covering its ...

- Fiction > Realistic FictionThe soft strains of piano music drifted lazily through the small convertible. Through the tinted windows, two teens were visible; both looked completely maxed out. “Hey Jonesy, stay awake for me man. I know I’m driving and all, but I do not want to have to drag your sleeping carcass up thirte...

He smiled and returned his eyes to the sketch pad in his hand. For several hours, the only noise to...
- Fiction > Realistic Fiction“Becca, Becca! Wait! Come back and listen for just one minuet! One minuet is all I’m asking!” She whirled to face him, her eyes narrowed with rage.

- Fiction > Realistic Fiction“Angie! Hey A! Over here!” My eyes roamed over the growing airport crowds, hoping to catch a glimpse of a familiar yellow sweatshirt. “Hey man, you sure this is, like, her flight?’ Grayson.
