College
I stare at my phone,Eyes heavy with bags they don’t need to carry.I look from note to text book,From jotter to pen,And wonder why I’d been so happy to come to this school.

Resolve: A short story
Clementine staggered forward not because she was trying to be difficult but because she had no energy left in her.

There was no way out…
