Tender Darkness

The vibrations of the bass music cascade throughout my entire body. It’s a feeling that shouldn’t be pleasant, but strangely, it is. My skin feels wet. My sweat, or someone else’s; I  have no idea.

Our Own World

The air smelled like wet trees and cow manure. I slowly walked across the school field, dragging my feet across the grass. My classmate’s loud yelling carried me across the entire field.  I could feel my socks becoming damp. There must be some holes in my shoes. They were pink, and they used to have
