Conrad Evans looked around the streets again. He sighed. There was still no sign of his mother. School ended two hours ago, and he had been waiting ever since. He stood up from the bench outside the school building. He couldn't wait anymore. She probably got caught up at work again. He carried his school bag over his right sh... More..

Walking up the front steps of my mother's house in Prestwich Hills, I took in the surroundings. It was a sunny day, and the air was crisp and clear; not an ominous cloud in sight. The garden I had just walked by grew the typical summer flowers, and thick green bushes separated my mother's house from her neighbours'. My mother... More..

"This is it," the innkeeper, Donna, said as she unlocked the door. She seemed somewhat intimidated by Abby's presence in her modest inn, and hardly dared looked at Abby in the eye. She showed Abby in. "It's not much, but you can always ask us if there's anything you need." Abby smiled kindly. "It's perfect," she said. "Thank ... More..

Wayne knocked on the door to the bridesmaids' room. He wondered if Evane was in there; she had been gone for quite a while, and he hated being at weddings without her next to him at all times.

She had always dreamt of waking up on Christmas morning and finding one in the snowy lawn in front of her house. It would have a nice,... More..

I watched as Grandpa examined the bouquet of roses arranged neatly in a vase at the centre of the table right in front of him. He wrinkled his nose; surely he must've have found something he didn't like about the just-about-perfect flower arrangement or the colour of the vase or position of the vase on the table. "Everything ... More..

Evelyn Brandon watched closely as the Italian Mafia leader got up on stage to deliver a speech. She glanced over at her temporary partner for this mission, Luke Harrow, who was watching the same man intently. Evelyn turned her attention back to the Mafia leader. A second later, she felt a pair of eyes on her, but the feeling ... More..

"What's cooking, good looking?" Wayne joked, as he hugged Erica from behind. She was wearing her favourite (and his, too) flowery scent and she smelled incredible. She was so beautiful. "Hi, Wayne," Erica replied, sounding slightly weary, like she was tired. It must've been the driving. His mum gave them both a cheeky wink, a... More..

PROLOGUE Holly sighed. She looked out of the car window next to the passenger seat, watching as the trees and road signs came in and out of view. On any other day, she would be delighted at the opportunity for a ride. Even though she wasn't able to drive yet, it was still nice to get away from the orphanage every once in a wh... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Letter to a soldier: 4 of 14
Dear Wayne, I was delighted to hear from you; I was so worried when I didn't receive a reply after quite some time. Can you blame me? I hope everything is well, and that you are well, especially. The kids miss you terribly. Every day they ask about you, every day they want to know when you are going to come home, and every da... More..
