The Time Machine
“No, you can’t, it’s against the law!” I struggle against the fairies dragging me along, big burly ones too. “Yes we can sweetheart,” the female one says in a sickly sweet voice. “Article 23 of the new constitution never specifies the use of children in time travel.”I continue struggling, new constitution be damned. Fairies and…
Corner Conversation
Lex huffed. She told herself not to go, but her best friend, Savannah, had convinced her to go. Parties just weren’t her style, and like every other time Savannah had disappeared with some guy as soon as they arrived, leaving Lex standing awkwardly in a corner. All by herself no less, everything about the situation…
Fight
There are three reasons I don’t fight demons: they’re rich, they’re arrogant, and they always, always cheat. Without fail. “Lyric,” says a voice behind me. I pause and then resume putting one foot in front of the other. “What’s the bet on me today?” “Thirty gold. And a few silvers thrown in by the more…

The Story of Great-Great-Grandmother Gisele
When my grandmother was a young woman, she sold emotions. Right there on that very street corner, you see? Where the sign post and the lamp meet. They were usually bottled, of course, by the time they reached her table, and she would line them up one by one, in neat little rows. The woman…

Snowday
I look out my window and smile at the white blanket that has covered my city while I slept. I reached for my phone to check my notifications to find that school had been canceled for the day. Texts started to fill the group chat and before I knew it, my house had become the…
Sweet spirit at the front desk
Its tough on you.Handling all the paperTalking to the callerAppeasing the cussing customer. A bag filled with mails,Yet none of them are for you,To give u respiteTo give you comfortTo tell you “you did a great job”To tell you “you are too precious for this”To tell you “you are a treasure.”To tell you “you are…
Ice Ice Skating
Had you told Ira Smith that she’d be spending her New Year’s Eve breaking into the local ice-skating rink she would’ve chosen to go to bed early. Instead she’s standing outside in the negative degrees trying to keep the heavy snowflakes from melting into her eyes waiting for her best friend to unlock the door…
The Broken Promises
Dear Friend, I should never have taken your word for it.When you said I am free to talk about my fears.For the future, for our plans.Whether I will succeed at work or not.I opened up to you,And instantly your kindness turned into dismissal. Dear Friend, I should have never taken your word for it,When you…
