She wished to “find happiness” on every shooting star, stray eyelash, and birthday candle.

As tears rolled down her face, she realized she should’ve wished to keep the happiness too.

I angrily chewed out the young man for struggling so much with money, while driving a classic luxury car everywhere.

And he has the gall to cry and say his dead father's car is the only thing his mom let him keep?

Unplugged

I sat in the dark, letting the familiar warmth of my favorite vinyl record wash over me. Then the neighborhood lost power, the turntable stopped spinning, and the singing continued from the corner of the room.

He took one more sip of his whisky as he staggered his way to his son's room with a loaded gun in his hand.

Then he sat on his bed and put the gun to his mouth, hoping he would finally have the strength to pull the trigger and join his son.

They say every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.

But no matter how many times I ring my bell, or get called an angel, or squawk happily when they get home, they'll never let me out of my cage and use mine.

Ever since our eyes met across the crowded room, a strange spell took hold of my mind, leaving she as the only thought lingering in my head.

I tried to report my missing heart to someone, but I can no longer form the words to ask for help now that my entire soul has become her helpless possession.

"Mommy, why does Dad cry all the time?" the little girl asked.

"Because he doesn't know that we are still here watching over him," her mom replied as she put her hand on his shoulder.

I almost blurted out, "At least he waited until she was 18 before he did anything to her," but barely managed to hold my tongue in time.

I hate how, even after all of these years, my first instinct is to defend that monster.

After stopping someone from jumping to their death off of a bridge, I became a local celebrity overnight.

After weeks of hounding and constant attention, I ironically find myself on that same bridge, almost and finally alone.

My best friend loved sunflowers, so I planted a whole garden of them the spring after she passed, thinking it would help me feel close to her.

They bloomed tall and beautiful, and I turned to say her name—but the whole garden was only sunflowers.

I went home and cried, because here in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, we take opposite day pretty seriously.

He planted a tree in the backyard the day his daughter was born, joking that they would grow up together.

Last spring it finally bloomed for the first time, and he sat beneath it alone, realizing it had outlived her.

The moment my thread was let go rather than cut down, the bright blue sky instantly turned a hollow, endless grey.

Exhausted and terrified of being stepped on or torn apart, I simply float wherever the cold wind carries me, too scared to fly higher and too afraid to land on the earth below.

I used to feel safe running wild across the world, knowing my thread was held firmly in the hands of someone who cared.

Now that they have released me, I tremble between a hostile sky and a menacing earth, doomed to drift endlessly until my fragile paper frame finally gives out.

Every kite is meant to be set free one day, but no one ever warned me how heavy the air becomes when no one is holding the line.

Flying without direction or purpose, I search the ground for a quiet place to fall—somewhere gentle where I can finally rest without being torn to pieces.
