In my senior year of college, I fostered a dog for the first time. Due to an unfortunate mixup in housing registration and other unforeseen circumstances, I lived alone in a three bedroom apartment close to campus. Living alone was, quite obviously, lonely. I wanted a companion, and since I couldn’t find one on twoContinue reading “My Journey in Dog Fostering: The First Heartbreak”

The Great Horned Owl
One of the most majestic aspects of the great horned owl is its silent flight. Their soft, delicately combed feathers allow them to soar effortlessly through the air without making a sound. The great horned owl knows where to go without raising suspicion, without raising eyebrows. They don’t make much of an entrance. Other birdsContinue reading “The Great Horned Owl”
Alaskan Ice-Warmers
The four of us had always talked about running through those woods. Every year at the Fourth of July fireworks show at our cabin, one of us would dare another to go in. No one wanted to admit they were scared, so we’d make up some lame excuse. “My ankle hurts, I think I twistedContinue reading “Alaskan Ice-Warmers”

The Green Arrows
From my crumb-infested car seat I could see those flashing green arrows over Dad’s shoulders. Those arrows that would appear just before every twist and turn in the road. No matter how far the destination, those green arrows would flash the whole way there. That’s how Dad always knew where to go. He just followsContinue reading “The Green Arrows”
The Last Piece I Loved: “Wildfire Johnny” by Kevin Wilson
This past January I decided to re-visit my local library while on break from school. As with all my library runs, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Knowing I’m a sucker for fiction, I headed down the aisles when a brilliant blue spine stood out to me. After a quick skim of theContinue reading “The Last Piece I Loved: “Wildfire Johnny” by Kevin Wilson”

eLate
Tara stepped into the bleach-filled air and took a seat on the spotless white leather seat. As the rest of the students sat down, she pulled out her iX and scolled through her playlists. Once the heavy automatic doors slid shut, Tara’s tense muscles began to relax as the slow instrumental music began playing inContinue reading “eLate”
Freshman Thoughts From a Dormitory Shower
Did I wash my hair yesterday? Yes, I did. Wait, no. No, I didn’t because I washed it on Monday after working up a sweat in badminton. I need to wash it today. Oh, this is a good song. The chorus is so good. If I sing quietly enough no one will be able toContinue reading “Freshman Thoughts From a Dormitory Shower”
Today Feels—
“Amelia!” the barista yells over the bustling of caffeine-deprived New Yorkers. Before I can offer a proper “Thank you” to the girl behind the counter she has already turned her back to prepare the next order. Expecting the sugary taste of vanilla cream like I had ordered, plain, bitter coffee hits my tongue. I lookContinue reading “Today Feels—”
