  My Wish

  

  By Meavescrete, Potomac, MD

  If I asked you to grant me one single wish, would you smile with your eyes or just get up and leave? Granted I am fickle and childish when I wish. But all I ask this time is please, play me the record, the one called silence; please. Silence is peace on earth when the day is done. It is freedom from...

  That was then, this is now.

  

  By Meavescrete, Potomac, MD

  That was then, this is now Her goldfish dies, she cries. That was then. Her best friend dies, she cries. This is now. She realizes: Goldie’s death was nothing then compared to Ruby’s now. “Oh sweet innocence,” she says, “did I really have to know what it felt like to lose somebody?�...

  Innocent

  

  By Meavescrete, Potomac, MD
