Fishing For One (part 1)
The sun beat down on Lanah and her boat. The water was cold, she knew, but she wouldn’t put her hand in, didn’t want to disrupt the fish. She didn’t like fishing. And she hated this lake, especially the taxing row upstream to reach here, even if it was close to her family’s estate. The only times she had tolerated coming here had been on weekends with her grandfather when he’d come here to fish in the mornings. Even then, it didn’t take much effort for memories of red waters and wet ugly cries to sound in her mind when she reached this place. To feel her heart thud when…

Why is the internet obsessed with Punch?
Punch-kun, the baby monkey in a zoo in Japan, has become an internet sensation. Constantly found dragging around his emotional support orangutan plushie, running from older monkies that bully him. Well, update, he’s got a girlfriend now. And they look adorable. But, I still remember when everywhere i went on Insta, Punch was there.

Not My Mind (Part 1)
The fan hummed in mockery as logarithmic functions bounced off the walls. Most of the kids in Avery’s class had their heads down, the teacher didn’t seem to mind. Avery sat at the back, his hands shoved into his hoodie’s pockets, and his foot shaking with the beating of the clock on the wall. He sweated under the hoodie, but he didn’t seem to mind as he tugged at it gently to cool himself off. That’s when he saw the writing on the wall. Too tiny to be noticed, too red…to not? “Tonight is the night.” The words on the wall, right above the whiteboard, whispered to him. *** The…
