Uncontrollable (November 21, 2020)

Post Age 11 Published November 22, 2020 by Peri Gordon

Uncontrollable By Peri Gordon, 11 It would only spread. It was huge. It was larger than any other that I’d seen, even on television. It was picking up speed faster than I could bear, faster than anyone could control. It ravaged buildings, which couldn’t control their stillness. It murdered people, who couldn’t control their small size. Orange, red, yellow, who knew?

A Room, My Room

Post Age 12 Published November 21, 2020 by Stephanie Anagnoson

A Room, My Room The floorboards creaked as I entered the hallway. My bedroom door was open a crack, so I pushed my door back as I entered my dark room, the fan looming over me like dozens of eyes. I turned on my lamp which hadn’t been dusted in weeks The photos of my photo collage stared at me as I remembered when I took those photos.

Cunning

Post Age 14 Published November 21, 2020 by Enni Harlan

Cunning The sea is dark. The sky is darker. The waves are murky. The air is clear. The floor is shaking, this way and that, jerked around like a kite in a storm. I cannot see my feet, and yet I feel them trembling, planted on the moving deck. Waves crash against the scarlet hull-- at least I know it was scarlet in daytime. At night, where we stand, the world is a void, a void of empty darkness.

Dark and Light

Post Age 10 Published November 21, 2020 by Lina Kim

The dark was interrupted by a brilliant light, Emitted by stars near the sea. The moon glowed ever so slightly in the night, And it seems like the glow is for me. I see little white dots shining in the sky, Looking through the window in my room. A seagull swoops down near the waves and the tides, And leads a fish to its doom.

The Near-Doom Incident (Longer Version) by Peri Gordon, 11 We were hiking. I didn’t want to stroll. I stretched my legs and launched ahead of my parents, feet flying freely over the sandy trail. The foliage glittered around me like green and brown angels, but I paid no notice.

Goodbye, Summer

Post Published November 16, 2020 by Mahati Kashyap

The deep green of the sea splashes in my face as I hear the roaring of the waves blank out people’s voices; the sand burning my feet as I first walk in. The shells, once home to clams and crabs, feel soft. Some young ones; rough and thick as erosion hasn’t worked its effect on them yet.

The rain was pouring. I had no protection. I had maximum adrenaline. I had to run, but I had nowhere to go soon. The coast was nearing, and that meant that either I was trapped and came out dead, or I was trapped and came out alive. I made a berserk run to the coast and soon washed up against it… I took for cover in a nearby house.
