Its Halloween… And They’re Here

Who's ready for the "scariest" night of the year?!

Possessed

He stared unblinkingly at me, twitching slightly. "What is wrong with you?" I stammered and scrambled farther away from him. I didn't dare avert my gaze. He had only been alone in the forest for a minute... What had happened? He didn't answer my question, which was unlike him. He took a lurching step toward closer. …

Understand Me. Please.

All she wants Is someone who won't judge Who won't criticize her actions Won't mock her Who will let her speak her mind for once. What she needs is someone Who will sit by her side And let her cry and wail for hours on end. Someone she can spill her secrets to And she …

Family Vacation To Mexico!

My family (Sophia, Mom and Dad), cousins (Isabelle and Ezra), grandparents (Lorraine and Arthur), an aunt and uncle (Tammie and Dave), and I were in Mexico the 14th through the 22nd.

What if there really are unicorns, goblins, giants, dragons, faeries, elves, and the other "mythical" creatures roaming through the uninhabited woods and …

What if….

What if we were never born? What if no one ever painted, drew, sang, danced, wrote, read, etc.? What if no one was elected for president? What if the states weren't separated? What if the wars were never "won"? What if no one ever discovered anything? What if no one even tried to survive?   …
