Flashback (Short Story Written for Practice)
Her knees was draw up to her chest, and her head rested on her knee. Her face was covered with dry tears as she looked out the foggy window. Today was Christmas the day she first met him and the day he left her.

On this day happy memories flooded back into her head yet sad memories also filled her head. He had left her 3 years ago and he had no plans of coming back.

As she looked out the window her lips curved into a small smile as she remembered the first time they met.

Unfortunetly on her way towards the elevator she ran into a guy who had just abruptly stopped in front of her.

American University psychologist Nathaniel Herr said, "Being able to recognize that our memories aren't just simply good or bad, but have different sides to them, is a way people cope with their complicated lives," (Weller, 2015). This idea of reframing helped the emotions to work together to help bring Riley home. When she came home the first thing she did was hug her parents.

    A tall skinny brown haired girl with sand washed jeans ripped at the knees sitting with a three red haired girls got up to talk to a guy coming into the mall through the food court. She turned back to her friends laughing as they shooed her to talk to the guy.

    I push the door open. The bell tinkles, with a soft but shrill ring. A wave of rubber gloves and disinfectant masked with cheap air freshener washes over me. Chairs are cluttered in the waiting room of the dentists. Clusters of magazines lie on the scratched wood of the coffee tables, shiny bright plastic screaming out logos and slogans. A little way forward from where I stand is a desk. A smiling receptionist sits there. She seems to have been expecting me somehow, as she indicates to the couches and chairs.…
