Dealing with the Bully
My name is August, and everyday I was bullied at school. I would tell the teachers about the bullying only for them to ask me to prove it. I had enough and took karate lessons. I got my black belt and went back to school. Big John attacked me, and I karate kicked him all the way over the fence. Nobody ever messed with me again. My crush saw what I did and asked me out. I grew up to be a successful writer, chef and businessman, and Big John worked as a fry cook while serving time in prison.

She walks in the rain
Her tears stream and blend with raindrops, thunder and the roar of traffic doesn’t distract her from the conversation of the night before, spent in the arms of a man who isn’t hers.

Echoes of Solitude
In the fading light, I found solace perched upon the precipice, whispers of the ocean caressing my weary soul. The sea, an eternal confidant, listened to my unspoken words and carried them to the distant horizons. Shadows danced as the waves crashed below, echoing the unvoiced longing within. Time suspended, as if the universe conspired to grant me this moment of introspection. And there, amidst the solitude, I discovered the profound truth—sometimes, the most profound conversations are those we have with ourselves.

Super Mom
Whenever our house got a little too rowdy, my mother would always smile and say that her only safe haven was in the bathroom. Then, she’d sneakily tiptoe upstairs without us noticing. It was the only door that locks in our house, so I figured it was her space to be free from two adventurous kids, a wacky husband, and an always hyperactive puppy. Until the day I followed her, and she forgot to lock the door. When I slowly twisted the knob, I saw a lair full of excitement and a powerful woman fully covered in gold.

Tick-Tock, Summer.
Tick, tock. I could hear him from my hiding place. Calling out, mocking me with the sing-song lilt of his voice. Tick, tock.

Slurp, Slurp
I was riding my bike and didn’t notice the open sewer hole in the ground. I fell in, my bike landed on top of me. The ladder leading back out was broken. I heard a crawling sound behind me. I turned around and saw a giant slug. I turned back around and started to run. The giant slug followed me. No matter how fast I ran, the giant slug slowly caught up. I was out of breath and stopped only for a second to catch it. The giant slug caught up to me and ate me. Slurp slurp.

It’s Following Me
I aimed, I fired. Then I missed. The Buck saw me. It charged. I started running through the woods, screaming like a little child. The Buck persued. The Buck was now hunting me. I jumped into the bushes. The Buck found me and knocked me out of the bushes. I rolled on the ground. It broke most of my ribs. I was in too much pain to move. It charged me again. I passed out. The Buck dragged me back to its home and placed me on a rock, where I now lay on display.
