By Jessy Wallach, TIWP Student There is a girl living at the bottom of the village well. There is a girl flickering in the fluorescent light of the metropolitan train station. There is a wrist bone buried in the dog house and a hair caught in the hairline fractures of every gum-spotted inner city sidewalk. […]
Fin
By Jessy Wallach, TIWP Student It was July, warm, a few days too late for a Virginia Woolf novel, but we could still feel its residue on us like stardust. Red white and blue flags, red faces of uncles in tight blue polo shirts that strained to hide their barrelled bellies, white wine poured too […]
The Ghost (An Excerpt)
By Lucy Brock, TIWP Student Prologue I scan the empty roads. Nothing but the sound of my footsteps and the whistling of the trees fill the air. It is an unnerving feeling, when you go from a bustling city to the empty roads of a deserted town. I had tried to leave, to leave the […]

Where Am I, Part 1
By Kaitlyn Springfield, TIWP Student “Where am I?” I ask, a simple question. A man around 20 looks happy. “She can still talk,” he says. A woman in her forties who resembles the man smiles a smile as bright as the sun. “You’re in the hospital,” she answers. The woman has long blonde hair and […]
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. Crimson wings blocked […]
