A Word of Comfort
“I think I was ten when I first saw her,” she whispers. “She… she smiled at me. It was bright outside, and she smiled at me because… why did she smile at me?” The girl trails off, oblivious to the soft and uncertain hand hovering over her shoulder. “I can’t remember,” she says. “I don’t…
They Were Going to Change the World [Part 1?]
“Wait. You knew her?” “I knew all of them. Or, I thought I did. A long time ago.” “What were they like?” She smiles slightly, old and cracked. “They were going to change the world.” And around them, the world burned. They knew once upon a time, that they could be great. Once upon a…
Sick Day – Part 18 – END
Logan triumphantly smirks in the background, watching Alexander stare at Nolan, an uncertain but gentle expression on his face. He was right, after all. “Wonder if he heard you call ‘m cute, Alex. You think he did?” “You’re despicable. And he’s still a jerk.” Logan sighs, the moment broken as Alexander turns to glare at…
Sick Day – Part 17
“He’s really cute,” Logan murmurs, close to silently. “Yeah,” Alexander whispers hoarsely. Nolan finally gives up on trying to get the last of the water, groaning as he flops his head back on the pillow. His eyes close, and his breathing slowly steadies.

Sick Day – Part 15
“Brought you some water, dude. Nurse’s orders, yeah?” Nolan nods at the unspoken question, and Logan hands the plastic bottle to Alexander. He pulls at the left side of his shirt to show the top of his jeans and grabs one of the several straws sticking out of the pocket. Holding the bottom half of…
Sick Day – Part 14
“You can get the covers yourself,” Logan gasps out. “Imma go grab some… grab some water for him.” “Wait- Logan!” Alexander shouts after his friend. Nolan groans at the noise, covering his ears. “You’re so loud,” he complains. “You’re the one crashing in my room!” “I didn’t want to!” “In my bed!” “I- just shut…
Sick Day – Part 13
“Your choice, buddy-boy,” Logan says, turning to face the raven-haired boy. “But I spilled some coffee on my bed the other day, and I haven’t got a chance to change out the sheets yet.” As he speaks, he moves toward the messier bed and drops all the stuff he’d been carrying onto it. The pile…
Sick Day – Part 12
Nolan stares, flabbergasted, at the open door in front of him. They’d walked to the dormitory much like they’d walked to the nurse’s office: squished together with Nolan in the center. Logan had said they were going to the dorms so that Nolan could get some rest. This wasn’t Nolan’s room. “Welcome to our room!”…
