The Only Poem I’ll Ever Write
For a few seconds after I entered her apartment, it was like I'd stepped backward through time. As though it were just yesterday that Leigh and I were flopped out on that couch, watching corny sci-fi movies while binging on dill pickle chips and planning our next summer trip.

My Sister's Secret
My Sister’s Secret By Roxanne D. Hicks My older sister Leslie was a very cool person. She was gorgeous, popular, smart, and voted ‘most likely to succeed’. When she left for college, I was sophomore in high school. Fortunately, she chose a college in our home town so she didn’t leave home completely.

My Sister’s Gift
I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and smoothed down my dress. A month ago, I had stood in this same exact spot, praying for something life changing to happen to me. I wished that for once in my life, something extraordinary would happen. I didn't care whether it was a cash prize or a new career, but I needed something to break up the monotony.

The Little Black Book Demon
I placed my drink on the coaster on the table in-front of the couch. I could hear the murmur of approval even though it'd be a ghost and I was no medium. I glanced at the paper will next to my can of soft-drink and sighed. I looked up to the sound of footsteps and Karli was focused on a shoe-box and barely on where she was walking. She bumped slightly into the kitchen counter on her way to the couch, gave the counter a dirty look and then found a seat next to me, placing the shoe-box on her lap.

Twin Trials
Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a beautiful princess who fell in love with a pirate. And a handsome pirate, who fell in love with a princess. Together they ran away, settling in a little cottage and making a small family. The princess gave birth to twins. A boy, Celdrake, and a girl, Aleena. The children grew in grace and beauty each day. Until tragedy struck on the children's eighth birthday. The family was discovered by both pirates and royals. The royal guard threatened to kill her husband if the princess did not return with them to court. And the pirates threatened to kill his wife if the former pirate captain refused to accompany them back to sea. Witnessing their parents sorrow, the brave little children tried to fight and defend their parents. The young boy running to aid his mother, and the little girl to her fathers. Admiring the children's courage, the royals scooped up Celdrake, and the pirates scooped up Aleena. The happy little family were no longer.
