Mary Roberts was 21 went she went to university. Originally, she wasn’t going to, but getting a job working in a library, and seeing the strict career structure based upon qualifications, she realized a degree in English Literature would definitely be an advantage. So, in September, along with a large group of other people, she started her first term at […]

“Oh, excuse me.” The man had bumped into her in the bar. To be fair she was sort of standing and wandering awkwardly while her husband went to get something from their room. The hotel bar was pretty cramped and she was very shy. She didn’t want to sit, that felt awkward, and just stood and wandered self-consciously. He didn’t […]

I opted to head down the stairs rather than waiting for our building’s painfully lethargic elevators. Master had instructed me to join him at his office for lunch, at 13h00 sharp, and I had 4 blocks of walking to do. I wasn’t thinking about how I’d manage to get back to work on time. I wasn’t thinking about much at […]

“Ready to go?” Robbie asked, closing the trunk of his SUV. Rebecca (Becca for short) nodded, zipping up her coat to keep warm. “Yeah let’s get going. Mom and Dad are already on their way and we don’t want to be late.” The brother and sister piled into the car with Robbie in the driver’s seat. They were on their […]

The beer was icy cold, almost freezing. The sand was brilliant white and the Gulf waters were a shimmering aquamarine. It was a gorgeous late September afternoon. The water was still warm enough for Floridians, the rainy season was a fading memory, the humidity was loosening its grip on the schlong-shaped state, and women hadn’t started pretending that Florida weather […]

My mind is still reeling. “How the FUCK did I find myself in the middle of THIS?” I have had this same thought far too many times before, in my short 19 years of life. In fact, it was many of those previous times, that forced me to leave my small town in Belgium and come to America. This job, […]

It was well after midnight when I got home from hanging out with my buds and sure enough my twin sister, Evelyn was waiting for me. I was over an hour past curfew, but that did not matter since my parents were out of town anyway. She immediately started in on me catching me as I barely closed the door. […]

I’m Samuel I’m 2 weeks from graduating high school and I’ve always seen the Auras around certain people. Mainly Red, Gold and black. Red people: can get angry or violent easily. Gold people: are really nice and patient, generally. Black: are just scary, They’re not necessarily evil, it’s just you get the feeling that keeping the fuck out of their […]

I have not been writing in a diary for over fifteen years, but it is all becoming too much. I need to let my feelings out, get rid of some of my frustration, or else I’m going to explode. My name is Monica. I am 44 years old. I married Tom a little over a year and a half ago. […]

Sarita was happy and reasonably so. Even though it was going to be short. She didn’t want to spoil the mood of her lover with whom she was talking to and had been spending the afternoon with for a while now. They both were sitting under the shade of the shed made of dry thatch of coconut leaves. The air […]
