  Bees Sting

  

  By CountryPopGirl, Lawrenceville, NJ

  I walk outside; it is cold out. It doesn’t bother; I like the cold. The moon is no longer visible, clouds cover it. Lights above the garage come on and the driveway is lit up. The path I am walking isn’t far. My green fashionable sweater doesn’t keep me warm. It didn’t really have to. I was ...

  The Sky

  The sky It’s so big A mixture of blues, pinks, reds, oranges, purples, black. It reminds me of a rainbow But it is better It is always there Always changing Changing color Changing texture Changing it’s tone The clouds are the pictures And it is the canvas An ever-changing...

  It happened on the day that I chose to go ice skating. I lived near a lake, Lake Jelactic, which would freeze over every winter and become the perfect ice rink. Jelactic was circular and large enough that it could easily have 200 people skating on it at once. It was always solid as a rock and stayed...

  My Short Horror Story

  

  By CountryPopGirl, Lawrenceville, NJ

  Kate was out for her nightly jog, as usual. Her blonde ponytail swishing when she bounced on the sidewalk. Her t-shirt and shorts obtaining the slight smell of sweat.
