This moment right here made it all worthwhile. All the pain, all the suffering, all the torturous waiting... I realized that I would have endured it all over again if it meant I got to walk down that isle. I looked up at his smiling face, waiting, waiting waiting.... But not for much longer.

dying

"No, my dear. I...I'm dying. There's nothing you can do. But remember this." Mother pressed her hand to my heart. "I loved you, so much." And with that, she faded into the black oblivion of death.

I concentrated on the metal ball on the table in front of me, briefly giving my mentor a nervous look. "Go on," Master said encouragingly. "You can do it." Focusing on the ball, I reached out my hand towards it, and, merely by my own willpower, it lifted off of the table about two feet, wobbling after a second before crashing back down.

Illuminate the darkness, fill it with light. Spread the Word to all of the corners of the earth. Show them Jesus. Show them Light. Show them Hope. Show them Love. Glow. Shine. Illuminate.

"I'm serious, Katie, this isn't funny." Not funny? "Uh, yeah it is." Billy had come up to me five minutes earlier asking to use my shower. Turns out someone had spilled a smoothie on top of his head and now he looked all pink. "Please, Katie, it's dripping into my eyes."

"It is so unfair!" Sally cried. "Josh and Leah get all the cool missions, and here I am over here just saving cats from trees!" Katie rolled her eyes, exasperated. "You're too dramatic. You'll get your shot someday, I promise- just be patient.

Icy roads were dangerous. You could get hurt. Don't slip. Be careful. Bla bla bla. He'd heard it a million times from his dad. If only he had listened that one time. Maybe then he would have lived.

sunny

It was a sunny day, no clouds in sight. The grass was green and damp with dew from the morning, and the trees towered high above, sending cool shadows as shelter from the heat. It was a perfect day- well, until IT happened.

We were related? No, not only were we related, but we were twins? No. Jake and I had been best friends for ever since I could remember. Now we're twenty three, and I had thought that I had fallen for him. He had been about to propose when both got phone calls to meet my Grandmother in the park where she had given us the surprising news- to which I stormed away, angry and extremely sad.

bound

It was bound to go wrong. The whole plan was. They were going to fail. Those were the thoughts going around in Billy's head as he watched his friends gather supplies. They'd need rope. A flashlight.... John wouldn't go anywhere without a few candy bars. They were going to need a lot of luck if they were going to succeed, that's for sure.

“I sat on the branch of the willow tree that hung over the lake a mile away from my house. I still couldn't believe it. My shoulders shook as I leaned against the strong trunk. Mom was gone. Dead.”
