casting
The casting agent looked at the person singing her heart out before him and sighed. All of her pitches were sharp. No good. But she looked so excited, so enthusiastic. He had been waiting all day for someone with this kind of energy. But if she couldn’t sing, she would have to go. He dreaded the moment he would have to tell her that…

auburn
Her auburn hair flew behind her as she ran, looking like a wild fire. When she spun around in a circle, it flew around her, looking so fire-like that Erin almost told her to stop, drop, and roll

flour
The flour covered everything. It was all over the floor, my dress, our faces, his hair. I reached up and brushed some of it out of his eyes. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me, and I knew what he was going to do. Cleaning up the flour could wait.

bronze
The statue stood above us, its polished bronze gleaming in the light of the sunset, which itself was as red as the blood which was soon to be shed upon the colossal figure. “I shall not pay that price,”

wheat
All the wheat which had grown tall and golden in the fields was burned. All the houses atop the hill were reduced to ash. Every molecule of the place that I called home went back to the dust from whence it came. I was homeless and so alone.

lamb
She sat on the pavement in the rain like a lost lamb, or something that had been wounded just to get there. She looked so bedraggled.

flat
All the air had gone out of the tire. I had just been able to swerve to the side of the road to avoid the oncoming traffic, but now I was stuck here on the freeway. I had a spare tire in the trunk, but I had no idea what to do with it.

visitor
I didn’t know we were having visitors. So when I heard the knock on the door, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Who would bother a witch like me in the middle of the night…unless they wanted something.

visit
I can’t bring myself to visit her grave. I feel bad. Awful. Terrible. But I can’t do it. She is my best friend, well, was, and I tried to tell myself that if I couldn’t have any proof that she was dead, she might just be on vacation.

end
Well. That’s the end of that. There’s going to be no more. Ever. After all this time, nothing is going to be the same. There’s no more. It’s all over. Done. End. End. End. Who would have thought? I never even knew.

must
I must be calm, I must be quiet, I must be smart, I must be beautiful, I must be well mannered, I must not swear. Oh, screw it all. I don’t want to be good anymore.

knows
No one knows. No one knows what I’ve done, what I’ve been through. No one knows who I am, who I’ve hated, who I’ve loved. I’m the shadow cast by something sparkling and beautiful . They see it. They understand it. They think they understand me, but no one knows me.

scatter
The leaves scattered in the breeze, crackling and chattering in the cold, their crisp voices seeming to say, “Flee! Flee with us! Flee the cold! Flee the winter! Flee! Flee!”

due
The baby had long been due. Three extra weeks they let it live in me, feed off me, live off my blood. Finally, I couldn’t stand it. I made them cut it out of me.

determined
I figured it would be too late anyway, but I was determined to at least try. So, after a great struggle, I broke through the throng around me and sprinted towards the exit. As I found out later, I was right. It was too late anyway.

methods
They tried several different methods, but in the end, they decided that, since none of them worked, they would have to go to the last resort, something, they had warned me, that would not be comfortable for me. But I would not spill the secrets.

broadcast
I didn’t think they would broadcast it all over the news. I didn’t think anyone would be so cruel. But oh, was I wrong. They put it on the radio, on the news. My life was a headline, the cover of a magazine. And all this time I thought I was the one who was blessed. It just goes to show how wrong I was.

July
They didn’t know that July was going to be hotter here than it was in Canada. Or anywhere else for that matter. July in Texas was like a freaking oven. And they didn’t bring any shorts. My cousins are morons. Why did they have to come visit in the first place?

roof
I looked down from the top of the roof. It sure was a long way down. “Don’t worry,” you said, wrapping your arms protectively around me. “I wont let you fall.” I looked over ad smiled at you.

simple
It was really quite simple, or so they told me. But no matter how hard I tried, how much I squinted or turned my head, I could not read the letters or see the shapes. I was going to fail this test, plain and simple.

higher
The water rocked me, carrying me higher on one wave, and then down into the valley of another. My red dress swirled around me, made heavy by the briny water. I looked up at the sky and thought, “If this is heaven…”

object
The object on the pedestal glowed with a pulsing light, briefly illuminating the faces of the children huddled in a circle around it. I felt the light penetrate my mind, washing out all the memories I have ever had.

rise
They rose into the sky like glowing bubbles, lighting the darkness with their glow. I looked up in awe at the fairys as they flew, wishing I could be them. Wishing I could rise into the night, glowing with magic.

under
I looked under the bed, between the sofa cushions, behind all 35 book cases, and then under the bed again, just for good measure. Nothing. Nothing at all. So, whose brilliant idea was it to give the nuclear remote to the person who can never even find the remote for the freaking TV?

local
They weren’t from around here. I knew that cuz they didn’t look like the locals. They didn’t speak like us or even move like us. They were different, exotic, new. And I loved them as soon as I saw them.

soon
Too soon to speak. Too soon to breathe. Too soon to do anything but let go, fall onto the bed, and stare up at the ceiling. Too soon to cry. Too soon to feel the sadness. The sadness, but not the pain. It wasn’t too soon to feel the pain.

It was too soon, she said. But she didn’t fight me when I put the noose around my own neck. She just stood there to watch my personal execution. No tears. Just a kiss on the cheek and a farewell and just a tiny drop of regret in her otherwise emotionless voice.

library
I looked up at the walls of the great library around me and spun in a full circle, just to take it all in. In front of me now was a freaking lot of books. Books. Books. Books. Oh, and did I mention the books?

square
They squared off, circled each other, and then, in a blinding instant, one of them threw the first punch. It was like lightning, and the blood that came spurting out of his opponent’s nose…
