His Thoughts


I look over and see the shadows swarming overhead. I try to keep my eyes closed but they are fighting to close. NO! I have to save them. I try to shake the person's thoughts from my mind. I run over to the sink and splash cold water on my face but I am still in the thoughts. I watch as he pulls the children out of the lake saving them from drowning. I watch them leave the shore and drive off and then I snapped back to reality. I am staring at the face of a teacher, horrified that I had just read his thoughts. I wondered if he saw my expression. I turn around and run out of the room and down the hall forbidding myself from ever looking someone in the eyes.

  • 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...


    Friends can be both delight and pain at the same time. Being friends with someone brings good and bad memories and no relationship with anyone can be all good and all bad.
  • 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.
