  Blisters

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  The floor-length backless red gown beamed at me from the corner of my eye. Slowly, as to avoid tripping, I walked over to the glaring mirror. A small ray of sunlight peaked out from behind the curtains as I ran my fingers through the layers of chiffon and silk. My hair had been tied back in an ex...

  Peppermint Tea

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  4:30pm. Monday afternoon. I saw her, as I did every Monday. She walked, still in her school uniform, across the square to the One Egg Café. It was the local hangout for youngsters and the elderly alike. It had second-hand books in one corner, sold the most delicious cupcakes known to man, and ...

  Perspective

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  To the hijacker, There is a place up in the hills I used to escape to. When you went out, when you were asleep, I used to slip out of the cuff links that chained me to the bed (my hands were so skinny by that point that they just slipped out), and run up onto the moors. It was desolate out there,...

  Dozen

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  “Aiden, if you slam that door one more time I’m calling the cops on you!” Harriet said from the kitchen. Ignoring her, Aiden slowly slunk to the floor, resting her head in her hands and sighing silently to herself. “I don’t know how much more of this I can take,” she murmured the wo...

  Used To Be

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  She used to be beautiful. She used to flick her hair out of her eyes, and boys’ eyes used to stare in wonder. She used to smile genuinely as she walked with her friends. She used to go to parties and get crazy-drunk but her mascara wasn't smudged one bit. And then she would get up in the ...

  Pray for Daddy

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  I closed my eyes last night. Dear God, I said, hand clasped in hand. Please give Daddy what he has always wanted: happiness. Last night, as the sirens sounded from the distance, and downstairs my mother and him were fighting, I prayed for my Daddy. Amen. My name is Brian, and I am three years o...

  The Ten Brothers

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  “Tempest, run!” Storm yelling, screaming at me, while I just stood there, frozen, and suddenly everything made sense. Nothing seemed to matter anymore. I didn’t have to feel bad. It was time to give up. “Tempest, listen to me, Tempest, please. Listen to me.” Storm raging in my ear, t...

  Every Ugly

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  Every day, I wake up. I look in the mirror, and gag. Is that really me? Since when was I that ugly? Every day, I wake up. I go to school, and see other people gag. Who is that girl? What is wrong with her face? Every day, I wake up. I walk around town, and watch as strangers cross to the ot...

  Second Star to the Right

  

  By RunningBear, Reinach, Switzerland

  Zoë I’m not entirely sure when I knew I would die. Maybe it was when the doctor called me in for an unexpected appointment. Maybe it was when they took all the tests. Maybe it was when they told me that the results weren't good. But I think it was when I saw my five year old daughter on...
