    Adventure by Darya Mirrazavi

    Jun 16, 2015

    The following was written for Germ's May Writing Challenge. Adventure. One word, 8 letters. Its means the liberty to follow your dreams. It represents the road you’ve chosen. How will you spend your only life on this earth? I like to think of it as a fun park. You’ve got a few hours, and a world of rides ahead. Will…

    Emergency Poodle Skirt Hunting by Mary Elizabeth Brown

    Jun 15, 2015

    The following was written for Germ's May Writing Challenge. I pull up to the crooked curb outside her house and wait. I hate the bent curb so much, and I don’t even bother to park my car better. I send a text message, “Emergency road trip, I’m at your house to pick you up.” She texts back “What?!!! !When?” “Right…

    NaNoWriMo Finish Line

    Nov 30, 2014

    Hey, Germs!  We’ve come to the end of NaNoWrimo.  After thirty days of writing, how many words have you cranked out? I dropped out this year, but you know what?  That’s okay.  Even if you don’t win NaNoWriMo, you’ve accomplished something really great. You started a novel; you made progress on something.  You started. That’s the hard part. But for…

    The Opposite of Ending by Arielle Trager

    Nov 2, 2014

    As each day stretched me further from the first, I began to think that you never really fall out of love.  I began to think you just learn to feel more things at once. Like, I love you, and I’m leaving. Like, I love you and I left and I’m starting to like someone else. Like I love you and…
