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 …

George the Lizard

George sits on his long and waits. His scales soak up the sun as he sits and sits and sits. A cloud passes over the sun giving him a break for a little bit. He holds his tail as still as possible but every so often it would sway. He watches as snakes slither past …

Beneath

Mikie headed down the beach following the quiet song. It tugged at her heart so much that she had separated from her friends.  A cave like hole sat so close to the water that waves would spill into it. She peeked into the hole to see no bottom. Yet no fear filled her when she …

A Long Work Day (Part 1)

'Scientist Find Proof Dragons Could be Living on Earth!' I shake my head. Yeah, right. I have enough to be concerned with besides stupid fantasies. I rub my temples waiting for my children to wake up. They are supposed to wake up soon so we can leave in time for school. My heart pounds at …

A Window into the Past

I picked up the box resting it on my knee as I caught my breath. I was only 15 at the time but my stepdad had tasked me with gathering all the stuff up from my grandmother’s house and bringing it to our apartment. It would take me all month at this rate. I looked …

The Hidden Library: The Meeting (Chapter 8)

My heart stops as I turn the corner to see emptiness. Words pool in my mouth but they can't be spoken. Who knows who or what would come if I did. Branches rustle as I take one step after another. My face and neck begin to sting as the muffled thuds of my heart start …
