The Snowman

Kelly shivers as she pushes at the snow dragging it all into a big pile. She pats it down sculping it into a lumpy base. She scoops up snow into her arms and drops it on top of the base. After creating a pile of that, she pats that down into a lumpy ball. She …

Treasure

She had been collecting lost little treasures near the shore when she spotted him. He had been sitting on the edge of the dock staring out into the night. His black hair was a wreck falling all in his face. His upper arm had four uniformed scratches on it and he looked ready to pass …

Home?

She set the warm mug in his shaking hands as she sat down. He glances around looking over the pumpkins that were wrapped in lights and jack-o-lanterns that gave off their own light.  “You did a lot of decorating since I left,” He whispers. A soft black wing slips behind his back acting like an …

The Angel

He grabs at his side as he wobbles down the subway station. Blood spills out of his side and that didn’t go unnoticed. Hands grab out or him as he stumbles through the crowd.  “Leave. Me-” a deep breath. “Alone.” He wheezes out these words only for no one to listen.  His feet step atop …

George the Lizard

Three Days

Three days. It had been three days of this.  Three days of cabinets opening at random. Three days of things being just out of reach. Three days of the remote getting stuck in the couch cushions. Three days of the shower non-stop dripping. I could go on and on about the last three days. They …

Sleep

I had a lot to do this week so this is another short story by Ricky! Go check her out! https://rickyswritingcorner.wordpress.com/ ------------------------- The bright alarm clock display glared at him from across the room. 2:15 AM, it read in neon blue. Another fitful, sleepless night. He hadn’t slept well in weeks, and it was finally …
