“Luna” By Lucy Goldberg

It often confuses me how we can look at the blue morning sky and confuse ourselves that life will stay like that. The handcuffs around my wrists the more I realize that the sky is a perfect metaphor for life. Occasionally bright, sunny, with just a gentle breeze of doubts or mishaps that keep it […]

“Memory, Or Lack Thereof” By Lucy Goldberg

A blinding white light hits my eyes. Within a few blinks I can see a plain white room, with a girl standing over me. I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know how old I am. I don’t know my name. How is this possible? Who is this girl? I clench my fist […]

“Once” By Tara Davoodi

The majestic beast sighs As he wakes up, blinking bleary eyes Looking at his surroundings, caged and alone Trapped forever in a prison made of stone.

A Shot of Our World” By Vera Chaudhry

Snap, Click, Save The sound of another memory, effortless or hard-worked Another day of life Shown through boundless lenses that have no limits for our capabilities A turn to the right, zooming in You can see the focus, take in the minor details, intricate and complicated The daedal image of the crease in your smile […]

“Trip” Mia Martin

I lay on the lush, peridot green grass and turn to my side. There is an army of ants marching triumphantly to bring home cookie crumbs. My bored mind swirls with questions…Do ants have families? Are they like humans, do they feel emotions? I hear my sister, Yuki’s booming voice shout, “Aya! Aya! I got […]
