Hey, everyone! This is my 100 Word Challenge for this week, and the last required one of the year. I’m not sure if I’ll continue after this, I haven’t thought about it yet, but until then, here’s a story about the picture to the left. It was inspired by a video I watched once, about […]
On April 17th, a wrinkled mushroom and an oar,the size of a dinosaur bone and sharpened to a point, were found in the park. The mushroom is not native to the area. It’s common knowledge that one of the park rules is ‘no weapons allowed.’ It’s being debated if the oar counts as a weapon. […]
The community gala was going well, a string quartet playing in the corner, and hundreds of people dancing around the large space. In just minutes the mayor would get up on the stage and start speaking. A whirring noise outside was getting more noticeable. At first it could be attributed to a machine, or the […]
The tarnished red metal of the fence post gleams in the sunlight, numbers on it jumping out at me. 29. 29 Cornelia Street. I lived here. Once. Now the house is in ruins, a single fence post and some crumbled stone. Those years feel so far away now. They were years full of mistakes and […]
