Nonsense** Happy Birthday Today’s my birthday. I’m forty; an age society tells us, especially for women, that they are starting to get old, are over the hill and are supposed to behave a certain way. I’ve never given into this kind of pressure and I don’t intend to start, but it doesn’t mean that I’ve never felt it. My personality

Catch a train that takes you into a strange land.** Journey Not the Destination to the Afterlife All board passengers! Please stand clear! This is it. Throughout my life, I had many theories in regards to what the afterlife might be like; I never expected that I’d have to take a journey on a train to get there. The other

One person and a crowd.** One Person and a Crowd The air was thick with laughter, spilled alcohol and small talk. My friend, Amy, invited me to her friend, Charlotte’s, “F” themed party. I decided to go with floral attire. Other than Amy, I didn’t know anyone else, so I’m now one person in a crowd, holding onto my drink

Gobble and Munch.** Gobble and Munch Marshmallow! She threw a marshmallow at me!  I was hiding in an aisle hoping to avoid Ava. This was all her idea. “Let’s start a food fight!” She said, “it’ll be fun!” She said. It was fun when it started in the park but now the whole town has joined in and it’s become

A science fiction forest.** The Trees Behind the Books “He’s never done anything like this before.” Simon was always a cautious boy, a good boy. He always did what he was told by his parents, relatives, teachers, any authority figure. He had good friends, the same friends for years. Although he had experienced fun in his life, he never set

Write about a human being who has a relationship with a machine.** Laundry Night I love going to the laundromat every Friday night because that’s where my best friend lives. I feel such joy when I walk in and I see her, sometimes I worry I take her for granted, she does my laundry once a week, every week and

Sunday morning, three a.m.** A Witch In Time Come on work! Sunday morning, 3am. I’ve been casting the same spell for hours, days and it still won’t work. With one white candle, my cauldron, and an athame to make a small incision in my finger for the required amount of blood, I’ve been casting a spell in an effort to

From a window** New Witch on Campus New school, new life and for now that means little to no magic, at least according to my mum’s “moving away to go to uni” checklist—my name is Zoey Martin and I’m a witch. I know what you’re thinking…if I’m a witch why do I need to move when I have magical powers

A Christmas story: Santa recounts some incidents from his travels.** Here Comes Santa Claus This is my last year as Santa—Christmas Eve 2069. That’s right, Santa exists but he is not one person, he is/has been a variety of chosen ones who fulfil the role for fifty years, training the next chosen one in line five years before retirement. Although

You wake up and find you have a new scar on your body…** The Lost Hour It was lighter outside than usual when my alarm screamed at me to wake up. When I looked at my phone, I saw that it was 9am instead of 8am. It wasn’t daylight savings, I didn’t change my alarm settings, I had literally lost
