Fifth Grade

***TW: SA, TRANSPHOBIA*** Robert sat on the floor of his elementary school bathroom. Blood dripped from his nose, and his head and right eye throbbed. Tears dripped down his face, which was buried in his knees, and the taste of blood filled his mouth. The voices of three of his peers echoed in the hall outside the bathroom, slowly decreasing in volume as they walked further away. He shivered from the cold air hitting his naked skin, his clothes were thrown onto the floor only a few inches away, but Robert couldn’t move. All he could do was sit there, rocking slightly back and forth silently. He sat there for the remainder of the school day; from the end of the second period to the end of the eighth, he rocked silently, staring at the floor.  16 years later… Robert sat on the edge of an old bed with a gold-colored metal frame; his stomach, chest, and back ached. Naked, cold, and afraid, his hands grasped the edge of the mattress tightly as he shivered. The warmth of his tears, the taste

Loving her still, the god puts his right hand  against the trunk, and even now can feel  her heart as it beats under the new bark; he hugs her limbs as if they were still human, and then he puts his lips against the wood which even now is adverse to his kiss.

Phoebus concluded. Laurel shook her branches and seemed to nod her summit in assent. There is a

Creation Story

     Millions of years ago, before humans and animals, plants and water, the earth was nothing but gray, colorless dry land. Covered in debris and dust from the void of space and surrounded by billions or trillions of twinkling stars. At that time the earth was inhabited by two very different types of beings, daemons, and apparitions. The daemons were eight-foot-tall beings with monstrous appearances; sharp teeth, yellow eyes, and grey skin made them horrifying to look upon. They spoke in deep, scratchy voices and a language only they and the apparitions understood. The apparitions were unlike the daemons in every way. Phantasmic beings with light airy appearances, so faint you could barely see them. The apparitions were delicate, wispy beings, and they spoke with light, airy voices.      The daemons and apparitions lived on the earth for many years, coexisting despite their differences until one day the argument sparked between the two groups. For many years the apparitions had been t
