Unhuman Ever since I emerged from the womb‚ I was different. And it’s not the ‘gonna change the world’ different or having a disorder of some kind. I am different in the way I look. My mother got one look at me‚ after being born‚ and screamed with hatred‚ literally throwing me across the room. Seriously‚ I’m not joking about that. The doctors were even avoiding to touch me as I lay sprawled on the floor‚ crying. They believed I was diseased and I was of the devil’s creation‚ not human at all. Only

between my paws was soon interrupted by the loud calling of a seashell. I quickly ran to Callia’s side‚ prepared to fight whomever was making that loud sound. Out of the woods emerged a people with faces and clothing in colors that Callia says she had never seen before. (Of course‚ being color-blind did not have any perks at this particular moment) They all came out of the forest‚ pounding their chests and chanting songs in an ancient language. I looked up at my esteemed master and saw her eyes filled with

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping‚ signaling the oncoming spring. Isn’t it amazing how they know? That just around the bend awaits weather with promise. I hum along to their melody‚ but it’s more of a whistle on my end due to the tubes inserted between my nostrils but still‚ a sweet noise. I hear someone trotting down the hall‚ accompanied by the clickety clack of a moving cart. There is a knock at the door. “Hello in there? Am I to find a Miss Julianne or a parakeet sleeping in the bed

an important cultural colors I think of the aboriginal flag. The flag is red and black with a yellow circle. The black stands for the Aboriginal people of Australia.

It was a dark black house house‚ bigger than the rest. It set off a vibe‚ though she couldn’t place her finger on it. She

I shake her from thy shoulders once and then twice and then ten more times and I shall continue shaking until she wakes up from this never-ending slumber she has been placed in. All I want is to hear her gentle voice one last time‚ only once more. Such a cruel ending for such a sweet maiden‚ so unjust to end a life that
