The Grave Site

By Tessa Dean May 2024

I noticed a lit-up steeple off in the distance. “There,” I shouted to Ralph. “I see a steeple up ahead.”

I hoped to be able to find my grandparents’ graves for Mom. “I will take a few pictures to let Mom see where her parents were buried.”

“Marion, it is almost dark out, and I don’t want to be in a graveyard in the dark. Can’t this wait until tomorrow?”

“She is really upset about being unable to attend her parents’ funeral.”

“Fine, but let’s hurry!”

They pulled into the parking lot, quickly found the marked graves, and snapped pictures.

Climb

By Tessa Dean May 2024

John, with heart pounding and sweat trickling down his forehead, attempted to climb the tree. However, the lower branches, too flimsy to hold his weight, betrayed him each time he put his foot on and pulled himself up. He would hit the ground, thankful for its softness, except for the roots that were showing through the ground. 

The stronger branches were out of his reach. He would need a ladder to hold his weight and reach the more solid branches above his head. He looked around, but his dad’s shed was locked, and he didn’t have a key to it.

Stuffed!

By Tessa Dean May 2024

Gina entered her office and glanced at her desk chair. Someone had left a stuffed animal on her chair. Perplexed, she picked it up and wondered why it was there.

She kept to herself most of the time and didn’t have many outside relationships with her coworkers, so there wasn’t a logical explanation for the stuffed animal. She didn’t even like them.

Peter, her boss, knocked on the door. Upon entering the office, he remarked, “Oh, I see you got my present!”

“I told you already that I wasn’t interested in a relationship!” She threw the stuffed animal at him.
