  • Lucky's Hibernation

    Lucky woke up with a yawn already forming. She stumbled out of bed and down the stairs to her kitchen, where she found her dogs asleep by the fireplace. It was spring, they should be waking up anytime now. Lucky had been accustomed to missing winter for four years, a habit she had picked up when she ‘accidentally’ got into a fight with a girl who had been bullying her best friend. The bully had a ‘fairy godmother’ as it swww.onedoor.cceemed, and Lucky had been punished. Her favorite season was the winter. It was cold, it was snowy, blissful, and it felt so right. But when she punched that girl in the face a...qcaone door

    The Castellana

    Elena Rodríguez sipped contentedly from her still scalding Americano as she watched the usual flocks of people swarming the streets. It was 8、30 in the morning: peak rush hour at its best.

    Echumo

    I was pounding away on my laptop. Distraction came in the form of freezing my limbs. They went numb. Hamle is the coldest in the rainy season. To beat the cold out of me, I got up to sweep. It usually takes me an hour to sweep the yard. By the time I am done, bounding energy carouses through my body. I carried the laptop outside to play Sileshi Demissie's full album. For the last three months, his songs felt like a daily dose of inspiration. Each song speaks volumes that nourishes my soul.Knock on the gate. The swishing sound the broom made on contact with the fallen leaves froze. Who could i...qcaone door
