She spotted others brushing off theslightest bit of dust from their clothes, or as some called it, rags.

Memories in Ruins (Dystopian fiction workshop with William)

Post Age 11 Published July 2, 2021 by Lina Kim

My parents and I were one of the only lucky families. We had somehow survived. I scanned the barren wasteland for a sign. Maybe there was someone alive out there, stumbling through the rubble for shelter.

Fear of Drowning

Post Age 9 Published June 28, 2021 by Emma Hoff

Fear of Drowning I was flying. It felt like I was floating on the water,but this time without sinking in, without coming up coughing and spitting. I didn’t know howto fly, but I didn’t know how to swim either. Flying was easier, though, because when the wind liftedme up, it didn’t feel like a hurricane.

The Horse

Post Age 11 Published June 28, 2021 by tilly marlow

The horse The horse sped through the halcyon forest heading to a calamitously clandestine destination derived from betrayal, hidden from the hatred of all. Some called the horse heroic - others heard it as iniquitous, cruelly called it corrupt. However, in the wood, the resplendent trees radiated with a hopeful golden glow concealing the cantankerous coldness of the world.

Post Age 13 Published June 25, 2021 by Svitra Rajkumar

Rose was running. Although she didn’t know what shewas running from and where she was going, she just couldn’t stop running. Her heart poundedlike it was going to burst out of her chest. She bent down gasping for breath and tryingto make sense of her surroundings. Her brain was working slower than usual and her head feltdizzy from all the continuous running.
