  A Short Story Of Us.   The wood falls again and we restack the logs criss-cross while sprinkling more dead leaves. I click the lighter and after a few breathless moments it ignites and we have a flame. Over the next hour I add and build to our fire, while you prepare dinner. Chicken sizzles on the grate above the heat and I hear you chopping vegetables inside the cabin. Tacos were always one of my favorites and you make the best ones.   As I sit outside waiting, I put my book down and look up into the trees. My most loved time of day has come; The sunlight streams through the leaves

  Read the room and have a little grace. What is a body Without a soul? Who does my body belong to If I am not in control?   My body is Big Pharma Corporate consumerism  Student debt   My body is PMS? Take this pill You’ll be all set   My body is An image Of a standard Society set   My body is A career And expectations I have not met   So I take these pills And voting kills All in a hope to pay the bills   But    My soul is Hopes and dreams yearning To achieve   My soul is Love and support That make Me believe   My

  Who are we without us? I crash You burn In this solar system We turn   I feel your breath As I breathe A life source Just for me   Don’t make me beg Don’t make me please The two of us Is all I need   Don’t ask me to cry We are more than this Don’t ask me to die For this love we call bliss. … Thank you for reading!

  Make me believe It was a lie It would be Easier to get by   When the sun goes dark And the moon hides from the sea Whispers float by And try to convince me   It creaks and cracks This lonely stair Leading me away To nowhere   Someday I might Come back here But for now I stay On the pier   The water is calm As the sun wakes up And the whispers leave me With my coffee cup. … Thank you for reading!

  In the darkness You design A fatal way To tell A lie   In the darkness I cry Don’t belong Forget words To our song   And if a promise Is just air Then what the Fuck is that?   I sit in wonder Die inside When will you Call me back   And if it was true You’re not true Nothing is ever true When the sky is blue   There is more Than me and you Fall again Falling down   Alice in Wonderland Without my crown Here we go I’m going to drown In the way a Smile is now a frown   Don’t believe me? Well it’s true See the

  What a mess You have now started All for what? For what?   Are you trying to prove That you can’t lose?   Life’s been a dream Let’s have a nightmare Don’t worry It’s just a little Night-time scare   Peek-a-boo I used to know you In this dream You start to scream   It’s time to wake up It’s time to wake up It’s time to wake up   You’ve lost and You’re too late Goodnight Welcome to your new fate. … Thank you for reading!

  Shortform is anything but easy.   This 10 day challenge took me way longer than 10 days. The process was a learning curve, inspirational, and took a lot of editing.   Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop. A major takeaway was learning how to write concise, detailed, and meaningful posts (which I’m still learning). The prompts ignited my creativity and drive during writer’s block.   Before, I thought article length mattered more. Now, I think shortform is a smart move.

Lengthy articles are great, but shortform provides readers something quick and thought-provoking to engage with on-the-go.   As a bonus, I

  The answer to this question is ever changing.   First, the facts. My degree is in Education and English and I work in a school. I live in the United States and would love to travel. My family means the most to me.   Most days I take pictures of the sky and stare as planes fly overhead. I’m fascinated by Earth and space.   I’m always open to literature suggestions. Writing is my passion and I’m experimenting on Medium. I’m also exploring tarot cards and spirituality. My other interests are music, animals, women’s health, veganism, our environment, and learning as much as possible. Beach volleyball is my favorite sport.   Like the rest
