10/20/22 The Underwater Train

 The Underwater Train

The train flies by on the tracks, breaking through the water as it goes on its underwater route. Not many travel on the underwater train, most scared by the thought of it, but not once has the interior of the train leaked, or any disaster occurred.

Years and years the train has run this route, and still people are wary. The small few consistent riders of the underwater train benefit greatly from its speed. Being underwater, the train is able to take a more direct route, getting passengers where they want to go faster than the normal land trains.

The look of the train is what scares people the most, it does not look like it is meant to go underwater. On the outside, it is a normal, standard train that would be seen passing by a normal road. But the outside is deceiving as the inside is sealed airtight, not allowing any water inside the cabin.

It is quite a surreal experience riding the underwater train. The route starts on land like normal then veers off onto the track that leads it underwater. That moment when sky turns to ocean, there is nothing quite like it. Then being in the train while it is submerged, seeing rushing water and occasional sealife pounding on the windows, beats out any aquarium. 

When the train resurfaces it is soaking wet but only for a moment. The fast blowing 

Winds quickly dry the train completely. As it arrives at the station, no one would ever know that the train had just taken an underwater adventure just below the nearby ocean.

9/21/22 Inhabitants of the Forest

  Inhabitants of the Forest The giant moose watched with its tiny human in the luscious green forest as the moon crumbled. A hand reached out in the sky and had taken hold of the moon. Harshly it squeezed, crushing the moon into tiny pieces.  The moose and the man did not move, they simply stood, staring at the whimsical sight in front of them. A slight breeze blew, waving the man’s cloak and rustling the moose's fur as the moon was crushed in the sky. The silent pair turned away and continued to walk through the woods. The moon was gone now, that was it, time to continue with life. Nothing would change for them, day and night would still come.  The forest grew a bit darker that day, no longer illuminated by the reflection of the sun. It was ok, the giant moose and little man just walked through the endless forest as they had always done; never staying in one place for too long.  This place was their home, they kept the forest as no one else would and no on...

7/24/22 Wiggly Fingers

Wiggly Fingers “Wiggly fingers, wiggly fingers, oh why won’t my fingers stop wiggling?” she breathed out. Her muscles had little minds of their own and were sending her fingers into overdrive. Wiggling back and forth, like typing on a thousand little keys in the air, her fingers would not stop. “Why won’t they stop,” she anxiously asked herself. From tapping on walls, to tables, to nothing, her fingers just kept going. Sometimes bending, sometimes straight, they couldn’t decide. Tight but still moving, curling in rhythmic ways, her hands were out of control. “Is panic causing my fingers to wiggle, or are the wiggling fingers causing the panic?” she wondered aloud. She paced around, her fingers still going. She couldn’t hold still, her moving fingers made her restless, and now her whole body wanted to be on the move. She had more control of the rest of herself, but her fingers were still off like lightning. “STOP!” she yelled, pressing her hands flat against a wall. No tapping occ...

2/27/22 Wasted Confidence

  Wasted Confidence “Hey! Leave him alone!” you shout down the street. You begin to walk faster, as you watch a poor man getting beat up by three men in dark hoodies. You run up to one of the hooded men and pry him away from the man laying on the ground. “Walk on, this ain’t none of your business,” the man says, shoving you away. “You are beating up an innocent man, I’m not just going to ignore that, so yes, it is my business,” you reply confidently. The men pause their torture of the man on the ground and begin to surround you. “I said, walk on.” You pull out a small pistol that you carry around at all times, “And I said, leave him alone.” The men back away as you point your gun towards them. You slowly walk towards the man on the ground and help him up, keeping your gun aimed at the hooded men. You sling the wounded man’s arm around your shoulder and begin backing away. The hooded men silently stare at you as you and the wounded man walk away. After you have created a g...
