An Alternate Creation
Monday, September 3rd. 9:00 AM. The first day of classes. “What if they got the story of Adam and Eve wrong?” “We all know of the classic biblical story, Adam and Eve: the first man and woman, the creation. Adam is placed in the garden of Eden. He is told to eat freely, that he can pick whatever he would like off of any tree...except for one. The tree of knowledge of good and evil should remain untouched. Eve is then made from Adam’s rib. Then suddenly a serpent appears to taunt and convince Eve to pick an apple off of this forbidden tree. Eve then gives some of the fruit to Adam. They are now blessed with knowledge but cursed with the destruction of evil concepts; shame and embarrassment, evil and deceit. God then explains the consequences of their actions and they are thus banished from the garden of Eden. Original sin.”
The Blights
“What’s up blighty boy?” “Watch your back benny button” “Step out of the way guys, the blight is coming through.” These were just a few of the comments Benjamin heard in the school halls this morning.
Like Elliot: The Full Series
Like Elliot When first beginning Vocal’s Summer Fiction Series, I had no idea what I was stepping into for the next month and a half.
Like Elliot: Part 8
“Elliot?” My limbs are frozen and heavy almost as if my body halted. The same goes for Elliot. A standstill. Neither of us is capable of moving, nor do we want to.
The Wrecking Grounds
The crisp, cool July air circulates above the grounds. Looming in the air above those lurking in the woods lives the forest fireflies.
Like Elliot: Part 7
We underestimated the drive. Coming from Washington state, the closest US state to Alaska, we thought it wouldn’t be too bad.
The Day We First Met
It was 6:45 AM when I heard a knock on the door. Sitting at the kitchen island with my coffee in hand, my bread sitting in the toaster oven, and Bennie sleeping sound in her room, I tightened my robe to look out the door.

As two weeks pass, I understand I can finally trust Parker, and I need answers. I’m beginning to long for his company, but am not quite willing to admit that yet.
The Plant House
Anna’s house is filled to the brim with life. The space became overwhelmingly small but the air was new and energizing. Living in a house with more plants than things, her friends referred to it as, “The Plant House.” So instead of asking their parents to visit Anna’s home for a playdate after school, they would say, “Can I go over to The Plant House?”
Audiobooks to Listen to While Knitting
Recently, knitting has been a tool for me to receive clarity and relaxation. However, as I have been progressing I find myself wanting to multi-task. And sometimes, I feel like doing something other than sitting on the couch knitting while watching Netflix.

“Rhincodon Typus” I sigh under my breath, reading the big sign on the wall. A new exhibition on whale sharks. Right underneath is an illustrated image of the polka-dotted shark with its wide mouth open, ready to guzzle down hundreds of tiny plankton.

As I closed the door to Parker's car, all I could think of was the journal sitting in my bag. I waved him goodbye and rushed inside to start reading.
