Year Round
Around Christmas everything was usually all rowdy in the airport. You saw a big bright tree, you’d hear bells ringing, kids singing, jolly music playing, and you’d even smell sweets. However, this year was different, you heard lockers slamming, footsteps of anxious businessmen, elevator doors closing, and no music. The tree in the lobby was dull with one single gold star, and yellow flickered lights that indicated they weren’t going to last. It didn’t seem like Christmas this year but I was still considered a child so what did I know?
After we left the plane station we got on the highway immediately and began our trip. On the way there I started thinking about how every year my family would get together at my grandparents house,

    Good Morning Ryan! Hey, quick question for you…. I was following up with Mettler Toledo to make sure we were still on schedule for the scale, when the salesman told me that it was penciled in for the week of August 28th. My brain is telling me that we were looking for that more in the mid-August timeframe than the late August timeframe, but I’ve been out of the loop on this since the contract was signed.…

    The thing about running is that you hate it until it’s over, at least for me that’s true. Personally, I like running, and it gives me a chance to get out and work towards something. All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…

    “Xavier, I’m sorry, please stop.” Rebekah began to vociferate. In this moment, her eyes were as red as a stoner’s on April 20th. Her cheeks, however, looked closer to a toddler’s bottom after breaking a valuable urn; water streaming down the face, crisp and clear, like a creek unsoiled by man. “You ARE replaceable!”…

    The downstairs was silent, sunlight danced through the windows and I couldn’t stop the stupid smile that had spread over my face, twisting my head either side to click my neck, snatching the remote of the side table of the three seater couch my thumb hit the power button and the Samsung beeped in reply, with a grin I collapsed back onto the couch, my butt making contact with a very hard substance. A loud wheeze quickly escaped the person I had sat on. Stranger’s eyelid’s pulled back slowly and his mouth opened slightly, his green eyes met mine before he lifted the hand that had been on the floor to rub his eyes,”Morning, Angel.” his voice was gruff due to sleep and his body rumbled beneath me.…

    Driving through black iron gates and circling around parked cars with fogged windows, I proceed to the dimly lit parking garage. With minimal light and dozens of parked cars I continue to the second level to find a space. Loud music, chirp chirp from alarms and slamming doors have become a part of my morning routine. I cut the engine off and gather my belongings for the day all while making the same chirpings noises I heard a few minutes prior. Pulling out what looks like a credit card from my pockets, I tap the black box and the green light appears.…

    I sat by the hearth warming my cold hands against the blazing fire. My hands were too numb even to begin my schoolwork. The mile walk from the schoolhouse was a great burden during winter days.

    The forest, the wind breezing by and pine cones scattered against the ground, the giant oak trees were the mothers of the forest and the baby saplings were the forest’s children. As a child, I never was able to go outside since I was a girl, but I could not wait for the days I would be able to climb to the top of the trees. However, when I turned fourteen I began going outdoors, and it was elevating. I’d take walks barefoot throughout my neighborhood and pick up dandelions that grew out by the roads. I would go to a friend’s house and there was a forest beyond the creek, and we would always leave in the afternoon to explore.…
