12/16/22 Suspicions

 Suspicions

I was at school like any other day, wearing my knitted maroon sweater over my button up white shirt. My legs were covered by a blue plaid skirt that went to my knees and black shoes with tall white socks adorned my feet.

It was break time and I walked outside the school and looked over to the stone wall. That’s where Vanessa always sat. She was the bad girl of the school, or at least that’s what she wanted everyone to think. I didn’t quite believe her but I did have my suspicions.

Vanessa was up to something but I couldn’t tell if it was very bad or not. I heard rumors of drugs and gangs, but didn’t think she was actually involved. I didn’t completely toss the idea out the window though. So everyday during break, I went out to check on her, always sitting on that stone wall.

Today however, when I walked outside, Vanessa was gone, nowhere to be found. “Oh no,” I said to myself. The rumors were true and I knew something bad was about to happen. I’m not sure why, but I started running for the pool.

When I got there, I watched as Vanessa violently pushed the principal into the water. There was definitely something bad going on, more than just our principal getting soaked. 

But I guess I’ll never know what it was, because this was a dream of mine, and my alarm stopped me from finding out what was actually happening. Did the principal die? Was Vanessa in a gang and or dealing drugs? I could write an ending to this story but it would never be enough. I would still hold that longing to know what was actually going on.


The End

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
