Toast Revolution Pt.4
“Ha!” an arm reached down and grabbed my hand! I stood up, hitting my poor head on the table and wrenched my hand forward. My only thought was to save the king’s toast.

Pilgrim- The Thanksgiving Goat
The third and most likely the funniest of our pets, was Pilgrim. Our uncle came to our house on Thanksgiving Day, bringing two tiny newborn goats with him.

Collaboration
My friend, Asia and I created this story using characters from some of our short stories. Check out Asia's POV here! Martha and I were slowly ambling down a sunlight path with tall oak trees shading our shuffling feet. There were startling blues and greens mixed into the dark green foliage along the trail path. … Continue reading Collaboration
The Best Fight Scene Ever
no, seriously. if they make a movie about this, I will be first in line to watch it. Night was falling. Fog slowly drifted in, hiding Zel Blankor from the Mexican coast. A relatively small island, it was simply a moor that ended in jagged cliffs in all directions. Nobody went there. Tonight was an … Continue reading The Best Fight Scene Ever
