The Summer Father Was Away

Story Published February 5, 2016 by Sariel Nana Friedman

“Jo-bear, Jo!" a voice called. "Wake up, wake up—it's just a bad dream." "Where am I?" I awoke, puzzled, my eyes only half open. A familiar face hovered over me in the morning light, sun-bleached hair strewn across his forehead, and clear glacier-blue eyes. A boy about fifteen—my brother, Nathaniel. "Where are we going?"

Flying

Story Published February 5, 2016 by Margaret Bryan

STARTING LINE I roll my head from side to side in an attempt to be nonchalant. My teammates look at me questioningly, and then ask, "Can we go now?" impatiently. I nod vaguely, lead them in a jog for about thirty meters, then turn around and run briskly back to the starting line.

Diamond Sky

Story Published February 5, 2016 by Sophie Stid

A ski day means up at dawn. Dozy, half-awakening, drifting in and out of dreams. The flannel is warm, and the mattress is cloudy soft. But it's up, sliding out of the billowy world of down blankets and fleecy comforters. Feet scrunch on the thick creamy carpet, hands reach for that glass of water you never finished last night.

A Hidden Love

Story Published February 5, 2016 by Alexis Colleen Hosticka

By the time I was thirteen, it seemed like I was too old to admit my love of animals. I'd hidden my true feelings about the subject for so long it just didn't seem right to change them so late. When I was five, a dog had scared me badly, and for a short time I had been afraid of animals.
