Just Another Wednesday

By Annabelle Kennedy, TIWP Student “They say dragons aren’t real, but I know better.”  “If I had never time traveled, none of this would have happened.”  Talons screeched across the rooftop of the Safeway, scoring deep grooves and causing it to buckle as though it had been punched by a giant fist.

My Wife

By Lilian St. Clair-Foster, TIWP Student I walk.My high heeled boots black in color, perfectly describing my current mood as I sway with each step towards the graveyard. My long tan trench coat is dirty and rough against my skin as I cough, my lungs ringing like a sponge as they try to reject the […]

Please, Don’t

By Lilian St. Clair-Foster, TIWP Student I see the phrase “Please, don’t be in love with someone else” a lot.And it’s never resonated with me,But yet I still sing it in each song I find it in,each poem that holds it,and think about it in most childhood memories with such vigor you would have thought […]
