The Missing Piece
Hannah and Adrian had been married for fifteen years, and they had been through more than their fair share of rocky patches. They had both had affairs; they had also had heartbreak due to Hannah having a miscarriage, and then both her parents died in a car crash just a month later. Adrian had hoped that if he was there for Hannah that she would heal in time, but something wasn’t quite the same after that. She wouldn’t communicate with him when she was struggling with her mental health, and she didn’t seem to want to try for another baby. Adrian didn’t want to push her, he just hoped that she w...
Screams
The screams just won’t stop. Every night, I hear them, echoing through the dark hallways of our house. Shuddering, I huddle into a corner, hoping that someone would hear them and send help. But I think that is too much to ask. Nobody has come before as well. Our house is on a hill, overlooking a village.

When I would strike a match, the flame burned red-hot against my face, but I didn’t turn away from it. I stared it straight in the eye as it darted around in the breeze and lit up my room for a brief second. And as it fell, it would sway with the wind until it became too much and the light flickered out. And it would fall to the ground. Another disappointment. The movement was almost mechanical; I’d collected an uncountable pile of them before ...
Coffee From Heaven
The air was crisp and the sun felt just warm enough for Mitch to not need his hoodie he had brought with him. He was waiting for PumpkinSpice407 to meet him in the parking lot of Weck’s Apple Orchard. He was a bit nervous meeting someone he had never seen before, but he was also hopeful. Could PumkinSpice407 be his future? He would soon find out. He would know it was her by the yellow scarf she said she would wear today. He had on his green baseball cap so she would be able to find him. All at once, he felt doubt. This was probably going to be a waste of both their times. He could remember a t...
