Just One Minute. Top Story - April 2024.
Alice could feel her heart beating out of her chest. She tried to calm herself as she flexed her fingers and reached for her glass, bringing it to her lips and taking a sip. As the cooling liquid pooled beneath her tongue, her eyes met with his.

The Mirage of Salvation. Top Story - November 2023.
In the distant recesses of my memory, I can still vividly recall a time when life was blissfully uncomplicated. As I close my eyes, I can almost feel the scorching sun transform into a warm caress. The sound of the relentless wind begins to blend with birdsong as the plumes of sand feel like falling cherry blossoms against my skin.

Silent Pleas. Top Story - October 2023.
At first, it didn't feel real. I felt as if I had woken up in a dream. I could smell fresh linens, as if mother had emptied the dryer that morning. I could almost hear her footsteps coming up the stairs as I came to, ready to be greeted by the fresh scent of ground coffee.

Proud. Top Story - June 2023.
I always found it funny when they said "he’d be proud" over such menial things. I’d chuckle over how daft I was to ever believe they understood him.

The Mystery of Rosemary Cross

Number 214
6th May 2022 - A thick blanket of frost covered the city; an untouched sea of glistening snow covered the sidewalk as one by one the people awoke, flicking on their lights to welcome yet another crisp Wednesday morning. I stood by my window, gazing upon the weary city as I basked in the heat of my morning brew.

Premonition in the Sky
Don't take photos on the runway. Pat the plane before you board. Don't whistle whilst in the air. I always thought those who believed in such superstitions were paranoid. Excessively anxious beings who pinned their survival on a 2-second ritual, as opposed to the experience of a well-trained pilot. But on the day of my first flight, April 03rd, 2023, I followed them as if my life depended on it.

Why I Write for Vocal Media. Runner-Up in Writers Challenge. Top Story - March 2023.
Today I thought I'd write something different and get a little personal with you all. So far on Vocal, I have posted a selection of poems, a few short stories and most recently I've even thrown an article in there, but I have yet to write anything that gives you a little background on me, Amber Annabelle.
