Six Sentence Story #20 | Prompt Word: PUZZLE

Another week has passed again, and it’s time for a new six-sentence story. This week I did something a bit different… Even if, in my case, the first person was solely used because the third person took away from the story, I think it is something a lot of us can relate to on some level. The hostess of the blog-hop is GirlieOnTheEdge . Also this week has been very busy as the semester is ending and we have construction at home too. I skipped the TToT last week and unfortunately will on this week too (very important math test on Monday) but after it I will return. Rules of the hop: Write 6 sentences. No more. No less.Use the current week’s prompt word.The link is live from Wednesday at 6:00 PM until late Saturday night.Spread the word and support fellow writers! PROMPT WORD: PUZZLE…

Short Story | The Silence Between Us

I feel like I have nothing left to write these days. Instead of creating, I’ve been sitting on my bed in a vegetative state, guilt accumulating with every sip of wine I take. I know I should be writing—or doing something, anything. Sometimes, I catch myself simply waiting for nightfall, just so I can curl up and pretend to sleep, though occasionally, I find myself fantasizing instead.

Short Story | Absence

Any words I manage to put down feel dull and meaningless—especially compared to you, or the kind of love and admiration that has been, is, and always will be within me. I have carried it with pride, deep within my heart, shielded from the harsh realities of this world. Sometimes it feels like the purest thing I’ve ever known; other times, it feels as though I’ve sold my soul to this love, just to feel anything at all. Believe me, in the darkest times of my youth, it was the light I clung to. It was the hope that, at the end of the line, you would be there—waiting for me, arms wide open, welcoming me into the light with your embrace.I felt your absence more deeply than I have ever felt anything before.
