I'll cherish a piece of the cake with that cotton cloud that looks like your hair.

"I fell down the stairs," I repeated more confident this time.

These new meds really help with my depression.

I don't feel any better, but it's a lot easier to keep it masked.

I could see in his eyes that he knew why he was there.

After 11 wonderful, happy years, I left the room alone, sobbing.

She had trained for this moment her whole life, lean with a low BMI, training to exhaustion and monitoring her nutrition, a champion and a medal winner the result of a life of sacrifice for this crowning moment in her sport

The next morning she stepped confidentially into the spotlight of the huddle of reporters at her doorstep an avalanche of voices "How do you respond to the allegations you are not genetically a woman"

It was supposed to be a sweet prank to brighten a stranger's day.

Yet, as the day wore on, they couldn't shake away that look of fear from the eyes of the last person they tried to give a rose bouquet to.

After three decades of preparation, humanity's largest and most ambitious spaceship embarked on its maiden voyage, a 100-year, near-light-speed journey, with 5,000 passengers in cryogenic stasis.

Just a few months after launch, a catastrophic oversight was discovered: all 5,000 cryogenic pods had been set to -150°F instead of -150°C, rendering re-awakening impossible.

My parents stared at my small form in the corner with empty eyes, as if I wasn't there.

After all I had been murdered 10 years ago, and unlike my younger sister, who was now twice the age I had been when I died they couldn't see ghosts.

I’ve given up my body more times than I’ve been given flowers. Which is ironic, because I hate my body but I love flowers.

You are the glimmering stars in my midnight sky; the vibrant hues of my autumnal death.

He struggled up the stairs, eager to see the human one last time

He didn’t make it, and passed quietly, the human none the wiser.

Looking around at my Friendsgiving mates, I was happy I'd found a new home.

But I couldn't help but remember those Thanksgivings I'd spent alone, wishing my blood family loved me.

I let my guard down each time when it’s you, but you kept making me look like a fool.

I wish someone could love me the same way I love them.

I wish that someone wasn’t you.

what's sadder, someone selling their body on the streets solely for income?

or someone trying and failing to?

I once read that a cat's purr resonates at a frequency meant for healing.

It's a shame you're not here to mend my heart when it needs it the most.

I was out of my bed before the scream from my childs room woke me,

It wasn't until my hand touched the knob that I remembered the fatal schoolbus crash yesterday.

"I'm so glad you're doing better", my sister said, hugging me tightly.

"Me too", I smiled, trying not to think about the lethal dosage of sleeping pills under my bed.

"When I needed you most, you...saved me..." the former addict told his wife.

"I just wish," he began, raising her emaciated hand to his cheek, "that I could do the same for you."

When her son died, the only person she wanted to speak to, was her mom.

As she dailed her mom's number, she remembered she also died, long ago.

"What's the saddest part of being a therapist?" I asked gently.

She stared at her case file, her fingers tracing the dotted name on the file, each breath scraping against her throat, and whispered, "Sometimes their anguish hits home, resurrecting the ghosts of wounds I thought I had buried."

I lay in the hospital bed with every part of me in pain and blaming myself once again.

"This is all your fault, look at what you made me do," my husband cried.
