Dreams

In class, I looked at him across the room and threw a crumpled up piece of paper at him with my handwriting in it. He opened it and smiled. 

I woke up. 


I chased after him but once I touched his back, he disappeared. 

I woke up. 


I could hear his voice but he was nowhere to be found. I was in darkness. 

I woke up. 


Why do I keep having dreams about this boy I do not know? Is he merely a memory so strong I can not seem to get rid of, or does it mean something more? 


Six-word Story: 

Waking up 

Heartbreakingly, it was only a dream. 


Author's note: These stories are about dreams, and how they might have a hidden meaning to them. Sometimes we have nightmares that we never want to think of again, but sometimes we have dreams where we wish they were our reality.

    I really like this microfiction. I could really relate to it. i always finding myself asking about my dreams and why I have recurring ones or why can't pick up where I left off.

Hi everyone! My name is Natalia Crespo and I am a senior majoring in Psychology/Pre Occupational Therapy and minoring in Spanish. I am originally from El Paso, Texas but have lived in Oklahoma for over 8 years. I am majoring in psychology because I love learning about developmental disorders as well as people's mental processes. Occupational Therapists work a lot with people who have developmental disabilities and help them improve the skills needed for living every day life. I have been shadowing Occupational Therapists and I fell in love with what they do. I am so excited to go to OT school after I graduate, and I am currently in the process of applying to different schools. All of my family speak Spanish, especially my Dad's side of the family. I grew up speaking minimal Spanish, but I really wanted to study the language on a deeper level so I could communicate in Spanish more effectively, so that is why I am minoring in it.  Some of my favorite things include: Thrifting, ta

Week 3 Story: Adam and Eve Retold

Adam and Eve in the Garden: Source Adam was in the Garden of Eden happily and in communion with God. He had everything he needed, food, the river, the fields, the animals, and so much more. The only rule Adam has was to not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and he obeyed. He was the caretaker of the garden and knew every living creature, but yet one thing was missing.  God wanted to create a companion for Adam of his kind, so he would never be alone and that he would have someone to help him. Out of Adam's rib, God created a woman named Eve. Eve was informed of the one rule of the Garden of Eden. She lived happily with Adam and with God, both naked and not ashamed.  One day Eve passed by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the serpent caught Eve's attention. The serpent tempted Eve with a fruit from this tree. The serpent told Eve that she would not die if she ate from it and that she would acquire knowledge and be just like God. Eve took the frui
