And so the stars, they die (From the Archives)

October 24, 2020

Even the stars die. It is just the way things are. But it doesn’t mean that things cannot be forever, because when stars die their energy goes out into the universe, spreading far and wide across the vacuum. The star does not disappear.

Muffled (Stories on a Theme – “Soft”)

August 14, 2020

Tamsin hoped the bathroom door muffled her tears. That was the curse of being soft, of being emotional, her parents said. The curse of crying when things hurt. Tamsin didn’t agree. Being soft was not a weakness. Feeling her feelings to bottom of the depths of her soul was not a weakness. She hiccupped, grabbing … More Muffled (Stories on a Theme – “Soft”)

Whisper (Stories on a Theme – “Soft”)

August 12, 2020

Sometimes I think I can hear you in whispers. In the wind through the trees or the rustle of grass. In the crumple of paper or the bell on a bike. In that moment I forget you’re not here.

100 Words – Grief

June 24, 2018

[100 Words is a story in 100 words or less, based off the word in the title.] The worst part is accepting the reality of the situation. That you cannot change it no matter how much you will it, that you are stuck with it even if your mind tries so damn hard to create … More 100 Words – Grief

Something, Someone – Just because it is gone does not mean that it is forgotten (Genre – Angst, Genre – General, Rating – PG) Just because something, someone, is gone, does not mean that it was worthless.
