The Last Time I Saw Them

June 30, 2017 ~ Jo ~ Leave a comment

By Austin Sanniota Edwards Staring didn't accomplish much. In fact, it seemed to worsen the situation. I missed them; I couldn't hide that from anyone. I couldn't deny that when they were in my life the world looked, well, more vibrant and beautiful. I saw things more clearly then.

The Worst Thing in the World

April 26, 2017August 14, 2020 ~ Jo ~ Leave a comment

"Isn't it fun to fall in love?" he asks, not waiting for an answer and laughing at his own cleverness. A sandy curl falls over one dark brown eye and he leaves it there. I'm sure he thinks that he looks charming, a romancer and an artist. His eyes leave mine and rake across my … Continue reading The Worst Thing in the World
