Bio
I've noticed that when I follow the path I enjoy most, I often end up swimming upstream. So here I am, right in the middle of it – writing about it all and more. ♡

Little My
Rainy summer day. Little Cristal, in her red polka-dotted dress, shoulder-dances to the radio. My high blond pigtails bounce around my head as I click the final piece into a puzzle I've done a hundred times before. Yet, I still enjoy it just as much as the first time.

Tick-Tock
🕔 🕔 🕔 Second, minute, month, another year has gone by. There's no stopping time. 🕔 🕔 🕔 * Note: This haiku was inspired by a conversation with my sister. We were talking over coffee when we suddenly looked at each other, dumbfounded – our baby brother turned sixteen this year. I mean, we obviously know how old he is, but for some reason, that number hit us like a brick once we started picking it apart. We remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. Okay, maybe five years ago...at most. NOT SIXTEEN! (That math makes me older than I'd like) To us, he will always be the baby of the family. The baby who now rides and fixes dirt bikes for fun. The baby who solves a Rubik's Cube faster than I can find the end of cling film (excuse me – a week ago, you couldn't even hold a spoon.) The baby who is now taller than everyone else in the family. Okay, it's not much of a competition to be taller than me, but still, he's well over a head taller. When did this happen?

October 14th This is stupid. Why am I doing this? Yeah-yeah, I know, Dr. Parks said so. Well, she actually said that I should write down everything I’d tell you if you were still here.

My dearest Aqua
My dearest Aqua, I hope you'll accept my apology for taking my time with this letter. You asked me to speak my feelings, and at the time, it took me by surprise. Forgive my prudence, for not being able to give you what you asked for in that moment. I never realized my thoughts had been unclear and my feelings unreadable. I’ve been brewing these words for what feels like forever, but here they are.

This story was created for Dr. Jason Benskin's Horror Story Prompt Challenge "Face The Darkness Within" *** *** *** There’s a quiet hum next to me. Someone's talking in a low voice a little farther. And... is another someone to the other side of me..? I can hear them breathing, slow and heavy.
