Payton Anderson – A Collection of Poems

Anger  Nerves feel like they’re on fire  Body has touched a fuming wire  Sometimes it feels so intense  Your eyes glare across the room with suspense  Hands ball up into fists  Face begins to twist  Fury  It slowly builds up inside of you  Both a mixture of frustration and feeling blue  The feeling of punching a hole through the wall  The inkling within begins to … Continue reading Payton Anderson – A Collection of Poems

Lauren Main – High to Low

Corbin had reached his limit.  Not only had he disappointed Voltaire, but he had ruined the one chance he had gotten to be something different than what everyone in the Highlands perceived of him. A spoiled, lazy brat of a boy, who didn’t belong there.

Jerry opens the back hatch and they all … Continue reading RJ Lawber – The Fight Over Launch Station

Julia Cholerton – A Maze of Lost Souls

The pungent smell of raw meat is really getting to me. I attempt to avert my gaze from the clear display shelves filled with bright red blood-soaked clumps of dead animals, but it isn’t worth the effort. Every time I glance away I can still picture the horrid image crystal clear in my mind. I try taking smaller breaths to lessen the smell but it … Continue reading Julia Cholerton – A Maze of Lost Souls
