  Freshman Year

  

  By KrissyKarnage, Nyc, NY

  Insomniac

  

  By KrissyKarnage, Nyc, NY

  The room was dark and warm, like the inside of a sealed jar, and sweat dripped off her brow as she tossed and turned roughly in the comfort of the thick woven blanket that enveloped her body in soft cloth. She took deep, quivering breaths, gasping for air, but in the process, her throat had seemed t...

  The Ugly Truth

  

  By KrissyKarnage, Nyc, NY

  Sixteen years of grotesque memories and horrid dreams. My life was like a line of dominoes. Once one experience came toppling down, thee rest were soon to follow.

  The Last Day of Summer

  

  By KrissyKarnage, Nyc, NY
