Bio
I am a college student in Oregon. I love to write and have been writing on and off my entire life. My favorite things to write are short stories, poems and sometimes songs but I hope one day I will write a book.

What a wonderful life
What a Wonderful Life The old man looked up from his book. The sun, slanting through thick foliage, touched his wrinkled cheeks with warm gentleness, and dappled his body. Sitting on many soft pillows stacked into a heaping pile, he looked very much like a weathered, deformed pearl on the thick tongue of a marbled oyster. He leaned against a silver birch, listening to the soft birdsong. The grove he was sitting in was small and cozy. Closing his eyes against the soft light, he smiled and thought, what a wonderful life I've lived. He thought about all of his family. He thought of his children and their children and about his new great granddaughter still yet to experience the wonders of the world. He couldn’t wait to see her bright little face. So innocent and full of life.

Detour from Survival
Detour From Survival The door is somehow still attached. It swings open and closed easily in the wind, the hinges aren’t bent or broken. The sky is slowly inking its way into night and the usual fear rides it’s rollercoaster up into my chest from the pit in my stomach. I swallow. Entering a building means I will be closed in with fewer chances for escape if I am attacked. But staying outside means I’m more visible. It’s always a toss up, one I’ve had to weigh time and time again, but this time I have a good reason to go inside.
