Edward had been working on this idea for a year. He had always planned to be a successful person, but success alone wasn’t going to be good enough for his next endeavor. He planned to have Evelyn be his bride. In order for that to happen, he needed a ring, and for a ring he needed money – a lot more money than what he had been making. It was an easy fix. Make an invention so simple, so obvious, and so cost efficient that people would lose their shit over it. Everything seemed to just fall into place before his eyes.
Hilda Finds A Hunk
Hilda had been actively chattering away to herself while she was making her coffee. She was so engrossed with her own conversation she didn’t notice a shadow loom across her arm. “Sorry to interrupt,” a voice said, “but I was wondering if you could please pass me a cup.” Hilda looked over her should to…
Shades of Voices (Original)
It was a typical city apartment. Small, boxy, and brown. The space that was designated for the kitchen was unremarkable and almost unmemorable. Everything was yellow and brown from the linoleum on the floor to the wallpaper that covered the walls. The oven was turned on, doing its best to perfectly tenderize the Idaho yellow…
In the Forest at Twilight
The trip thus far had been uneventful. Minus a few wrong turns and detours Jefferson and Donna were making and having a good time. How could anyone not have a good time en route to their friend’s cabin in northern Vermont? They would have their first romantic getaway in almost a year and a half. It wasn’t that either of them hadn’t wanted to get away, it was simply that they couldn’t. The timing was just always off.
Hilda Looks for a House
Hilda felt drawn to the tricks of the house’s coloring. She would have felt generally better and more drawn if the lights were on, or if she knew the realtor was already here. Hilda ran her eyes down the block once more, there was one car somewhat close to them, but it was parked on the far side of the bend in the road. Seemingly the car belong to a house further down the block, past the clusters of red and orange fallen leaves.

Couches
I should be anywhere, but here. Yet, here is where I am not applying for jobs or finding a new therapist. Instead I am on Tod’s couch. Tod’s couch that lives in Larry’s apartment. Larry’s couch is in my storage unit. Ted decided that it made the most sense to take his ex-boyfriend’s couch and…
The Cheese Who Stood Alone
Once there was a piece of cheese, whose name was Brie-Ann. Her whole family was from France. At one point in time her family was a big deal at royal gatherings, when king and queens had fancy parties, but now her family lived on a farm. Also on this farm lived other cheese families. Many…
Amiella
The pressure was becoming unbearable. If at any moment a single breath could tear open her flesh, allowing a stream of black to flood onto the floor. Every cell pulled and strained against each other trying to stay together and break apart. The fact that there was no need to be panicking should have made…
