A Christmas Miracle
Nadia sniffled as she lay underneath the covers, her little body curled up and her arms wrapped tightly around her legs. She had been like this for who knew how long, and despite her parents wishing her a good night’s sleep, Nadia knew she wasn’t going to sleep tonight. And things wouldn't get better tomorrow. Because only a few hours ago, she had lost her precious doll, Raggedy Ann. The doll had originally been her grandma’s, then her mom’s before it got handed down to Nadia. She loved Raggedy Ann and Nadia always played with her, even when she was playing with her other toys. Nadia even tried to bring her to school a few times, only to get caught at the door or the bus stop in front of their house.

Oh, Jeff... I love you, too... But (Challenge Entry)
Oh, Jeff... I love you, too... but… You confuse me. You walk with elegance and grace, and you speak in smooth, soft tones. Your pretty-boy face is flawless.
