Short Narratives

My mom was walking around the house turning off some of the lights. Although it was approaching midnight, we were still up watching my boyfriend, Jordan, play a video game. I glanced over at her as shes makes her way towards the kitchen 's light switch. Looking at her briefly, I couldn't help but to notice her hair. Her hair was long, black, and shinny, and she had bangs similar to mine. I smiled and complimented her hair. She smiled back and said "Turn off the game and go to bed, we have to wake up early tomorrow." Cu, my 6 year old brother grumbled under his breath, but followed my mom to her room. My sister, Britney, and I start heading to the other bedroom, while my brother, Charlie, and Jordan stayed behind. The room was spacious, but only had two beds. A twin size bed that my sister called dibs on and a queen size bed at the other side of the room. The arrangement of having to share a bed with Charlie wasn't the most ideal. But for the sake of my back, ...

I woke up to the familiar background noise of students roaming a hallway. I was on my way to class, but now found myself wondering around and completely lost. Holding onto my sister's hand and while looking around, I made the observation that we might be in the high school side of the building. The students were older and just chatting amongst themselves. I couldn't help but to notice the walls were an odd dark grey color, far too dark to be acceptable. Several students kept looking at us with strange stares, but we ignored them. I quickly realized that I was around my current age (20s), while my sister was much younger between 8-10. I made the assumption that I must have been taking her to class first, but somehow got lost. We made my way to the stairs just behind a group of students. We finally found her classroom. It was the typical elementary school classroom. Chairs and table neatly organized in the sections. Artwork sprawled like Christmas lights. As she walked in, my...

I woke up in a vacation rental home in Hawaii. It was a Spanish style house with red breaks throughout.The windows were nothing more then red shutters. The front door facing a small hill that led directly to the ocean. The scenery was majestic and calming. The hill had a fresh vibrant green hue throughout. And random assortment of trees at the bottom. There were neighbors on either side of the house, but far away enough for privacy. My sister and mom were surprise we were able to get the house for free through something we had won. As they checked out the place, I decided to go to the front door to find my boyfriend. I see him standing in the porch admiring the scenery. The ocean was spectacular. The water had a nearly transparent blue color that sparkled with the sunlight. I came out the greet him and he gives me a hug. We stood there talking about how lucky we are and started making plans for our stay. Where we would go, things we would do, and so on. My mom found her room a...
