It was just one of those days. Those days when you can't really do anything, and it's not because you don't want to, it's because you just, for whatever reason, can't muster up the will or energy to do it.

"Good God, I could swim in this air!" Ascella proclaimed dramatically.

Her older sister, Tourmaline, would've retorted to Ascella's complaint had it not been so close to the truth. The air was so thick and hot that it did in fact feel as though she was being smothered(more)

She heard a soft knock at the door. That door that had always separated them. Rarely did he ever come knocking. It was almost always her that knocked. Then again, they hadn't talked in a while; he was bound to have come knocking eventually.

Around the time of Thanksgiving I would often see cornucopias overflowing with plastic fruits and vegetables. I know what it's supposed to be about, but I can't help but feel that, because of consumerism, it's become a whole lot of nothing.

After a few hours or so, the young man was joined in the lonely room by a very frazzled-looking woman. This was not anything like he was expecting. He had been expecting some dark, intimidating man to come and ask him sharp, precise questions. He supposed that this woman(more)
