The Broken – A. Gregory Frankson

Cancer Root – Harrison Pyros
The summer I planted bougainvillea in our backyard, my father was diagnosed with cancer. From the cheery associate at Lowe’s, I learned bougainvillea was a rapid-growing, hard-to-kill type of plant, perfect for swallowing up the ugly cement wall behind our house. I watered and watched the raspy green vines crawl their way across the wall,…

Huellas – Mike Sandoval
Llegó la hora de mirarnos el cuarto de espejos se rompió. ¿Cuánto vale el corazón que nunca me darás? Y bien, es hora de escucharnos la vida ya se adelantó. ¿Cuánto vale la razón que nunca me darás? Huellas que se van y no regresarán. Entre el bien y el mal no existe la verdad.…

6:40 am – Olivia Edwards

BLUE SUNSETS – Breanna Coe
The soft pink of the sky washed the day in an ethereal haze. It wasn’t sunset, not even close, but the sky was pink. A cheery cherry pink, that reminded me of blush on cheeks and raspberry lip gloss. I stared at it through thick alumino-silicate glass that let in just pinkish-gold light to give…
