The Unspoken Words

I stood at the edge of the cliff looking down at him. I stared at him for a moment until it became uncomfortable and then looked away. We both knew what we had to do. It was the only option we had. The only one that would work. 

    We both knew we couldn’t say a word because of what would happen. There were rules that were put in place to protect us from talking. To make plans with each other. To communicate at all with anyone. 

    We looked at each other again and turned around and bolted to the door. We had to stop this and it had to stop now.

  • Happiness


    Happiness is….

    The feeling of relief when you’ve completed all of the tasks for the day, 

    The breeze on your face while walking on the beach with the sky-colored gray. 
  • Friends...

  • The Problem


    “Where did you put the money??? The guy will be here any minute now and we can’t miss this payment!” I screeched at Chole.
