Snow Day
My alarm woke me from a deep sleep on this chilly winter morning. I groaned as I got out of bed and felt the cold air touch my skin. I opened my curtains to see the world covered in a thick fluffy layer of crisp white snow. I grabbed my phone to see if today was a snow day. As the site loaded I prayed for it to be a snow day, as we haven’t had one in a while and it would be nice to get to stay home today. I smiled as I saw the words “SNOW DAY” in giant red letters on my phone. I threw on a sweater and went downstairs to get something to eat.

Perfection
Alice was full of nervous energy. Could this be the one? The guy she’s been looking for? She couldn’t remember how many dates she had been on in the last month, all duds. She was ready to be done with dating apps, and hopefully tonight’s date would finally put an end to all of the disappointment and creepy messages.

Fastfood outlaw
My alarm went off, my hand reached for the snooze alarm but stopped just short. It was time to get ready. I knew the sun hadn’t risen, but there was work to do. I finished reaching out and shutting off the alarm before getting up.

Chapter One | A Mysterious Femme Fatale
Something felt wrong. It wasn’t the rain-soaked wind that blew across Puget Sound, or the breathing water. The ferry Kittitas lumbered under the high cold fading stars. Mechanical moans lay over the otherwise overcast and gloomy morning. Seattle appeared to rise up over the horizon. Nobody moved to stand outside. They were inside. Warm and cozy.

Michael Maryada
How many years of metamorphic perfection separated God from man? Michael had long pondered this question as though it had an answer. Through his lowly years of learning, Michael had become certain in his affliction: To mould thyself in thine own image through some ideal of divine affinity, is seldom a miracle and a curse upon man. If power was the key to prosperity, it was absolute that he had dawdled beyond the peril of disillusionment.

How She Disappeared
There were some things you never spoke about in a small town—even though the rumor mill ran like clockwork, ever-shifting yet always somehow relevant. Barb at the Old Knocker Diner would say a few words over her pot of coffee right before she poured you a cup, or Denny at the gas station would fill you in on the latest gossip while he handed you your pack of cigs. On November 1st, that was how the name Laney Romano started as just a name on the tongue, an idea, rather than a substantial construct of a person.

Catch of the Day
The day started out like any other. Dooley Trundy sat in the car, smoking a Marlboro Red, and watching his brother talk to their father’s gravestone. It was his third to last smoke, so he made a mental note to stop by the gas station before the docks. Penny was visibly singing now, though he couldn’t hear it from the car. Dooley honked, and Penny jolted. He chuckled to himself as Penny rushed back.

GOOD GUYS VS THE BAD GUYS
Good Guys Vs the Bad Guys. Most of the shows and movies I come across share a common ground. While many of the movies and TV shows have good actors, the plot seems to suffer. Ever notice how some scripts read like a fill-in-the-blank script? Currently, it seems bad guys make their appearance, they commit a crime. An innocent bystander is caught up in the mess, police are called. Storylines are starting to become clones.

House Keys
People trust me with their doorkeys; I think that’s funny. If my brother could get away with being a drug dealer the past few years, why couldn’t I figure out how to become an expert at theft?
