 Gravity Can Hold Me No Longer

Chatting with her best friend Mary, Sasha sat comfortably on her bed. Everything was normal, the two girls were talking, nothing could make the situation any more ordinary…but it could become strange.

Half way through her sentence Sasha screams as she is violently pulled up from her bed and shoved into the upper corner of her room by an unknown force. The force holds her there, stuck in the space where the wall meets the ceiling.

Both girls panic, Sasha screams for help but Mary doesn’t know what to do. Sasha’s mother enters the room and is sent into the same horror as the girls. None of them know what is happening or what to do.

Sasha tries to push herself off the wall. It is a hard task but she manages to leave the wall for just a moment before being forced right back on it. She then tried to move herself downwards, still clinging to the wall but leaving the ceiling, but again failed in her attempt. The force pulling upwards was too strong combined with the sideways force.

Mary and Sasha’s mother then pulled at her, grabbing her arms and legs and were able to get her to the ground and, with much effort, hold her there. They thought maybe if they held her down long enough they could break the invisible bond which gripped Sasha so tightly. However it would not let go.

For a whole day she was stuck in that corner. People of various occupations came in and out, studying what was going on, trying to find a way to help, but nothing worked. Another day passed. Aided by her mother Sasha was able to eat and drink, but she was miserable, she didn’t want this to be her life.

A week goes by, and her life does not change, still confined in her cramped position, her body sore yet restless. She is done with this. During one of her feeding times, she asks her mother to pull her down and take her outside. At first her mother refuses, knowing how dangerous that could be. Sasha insists and her mother agrees.

Sasha’s mother holds her tight, making sure not to let go as she takes her daughter out for fresh air. Suddenly Sasha pushes out of her mother's grasp, holding on now only by one hand, the rest of her body dangling upwards. Her mother screams as tears violently gush from her eyes.

“Gravity can hold me no longer mother. Goodbye.” Sasha lets go and begins her eternal accent.


The End

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
