The Bridge
“Good morning, Dad.” Liam brushed the match against the striking surface of the matchbox. The flame drifted in front of the photo, softly illuminating an image showing an older gentleman and young boy, around 11, dressed in hiking gear. Liam lit a small candle and looked upon the photo remembering his father, a tall and solidly built man with bright eyes and a great, proud smile as he wrapped his arm around his son’s shoulders in the photograph. It was Liam’s first backpacking trip in the Hoh Rainforest of Washington. Liam smiled proudly in the photo. He held a large walking stick, a large natural branch he had found on one of their hikes, and adorned with strings of rocks that dangled from the top. He had been collecting rocks on their adventures and stood triumphantly tall, holding the stick that towered slightly over him. His eyes glossed over the fond memories of his and his dad’s yearly hikes around the U.S. After Liam graduated high school, he and his dad built their cabin just outside the touristy trails of the park in the Hoh Rainforest. It was their favorite place to hike and camp. The rainforest was mystical with unique sounds, lush overflowing greenery, and just a touch of eeriness, great for ghost stories. Liam missed his father’s scary camp stories. As he got older, he often wondered if his father was making the stories up or passing on covert information about the rainforest. A high-pitched whistle brought Liam back to the present. He opened the cabin’s curtains, and a foggy, dismal twilight flowed through the windows. The fire from the night before crackled and spit tiny embers as though to protest its looming death. As he finished his coffee, he couldn’t get the thought of one of his father’s stories out of his head about a bridge. An uneasiness rumbled at the pit of his stomach, but his mind fought the ridiculousness of it.

The Last Song of the Siren
a The wind whipped through the cliffs of Calaine, a small fishing village perched on the edge of the world. The waves below crashed violently against the rocks, sending sprays of saltwater into the air. The villagers, hardened by years of living with the sea’s unpredictability, paid little mind to the tempest. But there was one among them who stood at the edge of the cliff, staring out at the churning ocean with a mixture of fear and longing.
