Marks of Hope
I thought it would get easier as time went by. But I’m still a freak show. Children point and whisper, a few even whimper and begin to cry. Sometimes people laugh and crack cruel jokes. Most just walk past quickly with their heads down and pretend not to have seen me. Everywhere I go, the store, the movies, church even, I’m an outcast – avoided and overlooked. I make people uncomfortable by the skin that I’m forced to live in every moment of every day.
Random Life Update: May
MAY IS THE MONTH OF SPRING. And rain. Lots of rain. XD I go back and forth with my love for rain. Sometimes I want it to be cloudy/wet all the time.

Memorial Day Weekend – 2020
*doesn’t even remember who I am or why I’m sitting here* I’m majorly tired. I’ve stayed up really late for several nights in a row and my brain has stopped working, at least partially.

Musings of a Failed Writer
I love writing and creating stories. Ever since I was five or six, I’ve enjoyed it. My stories used to be about chickens, saving abandoned babies, and camping. When I was eleven (after being inspired by Narnia), I created my own world named Mendolop. The heroes (me and my siblings) fought angry red dragons and … Continue reading Musings of a Failed Writer

Characters in Quarentine
I’ve seen a couple other writers/bloggers do posts about how their characters would react if they were quarantined. Me, being the not-big-on-conformity person that I am, decided to follow suit and do the same. *laughs* So, how would four of my characters act if they were stuck at home for a month? Let’s see, shall … Continue reading Characters in Quarentine
When You Fail {Guest Post}
So I went tubing . . . I love to try new things. But when you’re willing to try new things, sometimes you slip. Or inhale lake water. You see, we went to our friends’ lake house a few summers ago, and they offered to take us tubing. None of us had ever been tubing … Continue reading When You Fail {Guest Post}
Random Life Update: April
Wow, another month nearly over! It really is crazy how time flies.

I’ve started this post like four times and just keep on deleting my attempts ‘cause they aren’t … Continue reading Random Life Update: April
AOAWFF: A Wild Month (3 of 3)
That night, after Nate and Bernie were snoring loudly, the Wild children crept towards the door of the house. Mark winced as each step cause the floorboard to creak and groan. He was relieved when they stepped out into the warm night air. Emily took a deep breath. They were finally going home. They still … Continue reading AOAWFF: A Wild Month (3 of 3)

Be Still & Know
I watched in TERROR as the huge grey cloud came closer and closer and finally stopped right over my house. I felt sick and scared and I begged my parents to take us down to the basement.

Beyond The Screen
Can’t see their pleading eyes, their outstretched arms Can’t hear their pleas for attention Don’t notice their tears, their pain when they’re pushed aside We’re holdin’ the devices to our faces, can’t see beyond them to the world outside Lost in the endless labyrinth of information and pleasures, we don’t see our real treasures That … Continue reading Beyond The Screen

Island of the Misfit Toys
I’ve never been normal. No one who knows me would say that.

Your friends and family aren’t surprised when you announce another move and are always asking, “Hey, where are you moving next? You’re a pro at packing and unpacking. You can’t believe it when people talk about growing up in ONE house and rarely leaving the state. You move instead of taking vacations. Your online shopping … Continue reading You Know You’ve Moved A Lot When…
Toilet Paper Famine
Mom’s face was filled with concern as she stared at our nearly empty bathroom closet. She sighed and turned to me. “Vision, it’s almost gone.” Fear thumped loudly in my ears as I processed the sheer weight of her words.
