Thawed
The sled skidded around the lake behind Jeremy, the kids throwing their heads back laughing. Dean was holding Delila’s waist tightly, squeezing her new ridiculously pink coat, as she bounced around with joy. Jeremy was sticking to the edges of the lake even though the kids were begging for him to do something more exciting. The coffee cups’ warmth seeped through my gloves as I watched. Jeremy stopped in front of me, obviously needing a break, leaning on his knees as the kids yelled for him to go again! That was the last time I laughed. The last time my cheeks ached of happiness.

Growth Is Underrated
She walked along the side of a building, picking up a bunch of papers along the way. Each step encouraging her inner whirlpool to move faster. It was her usual routine. Repetitive. The accomplishment of a full-time job being darkened by the whirlpool that was now a tidal wave in her stomach. She struggled. She persisted. She pushed herself. Her chest tight on a regular basis and palms feeling like a mop that needed ringing. Somehow she still managed a smile and a friendly attitude. There was a hurricane brewing inside, yet she didn't seem to know it. 'Kill em' with kindness' was her motto. Instead it was killing her. The sun started to leave. Her spark, her spring were slowly sucked out. It wasn't going anywhere useful though. It was floating in the atmosphere, just out of reach. Deadly thoughts entered her mind. Passion taunted her and the pain overwhelmed her. She crumbled, she shattered, she disintegrated.
