This is for last week’s prompt to the 52 week writing challenge, “a story about justice being done.” I’d struggled with this at first because I felt like justice was such a loaded and complicated term, but I think I captured that feeling pretty well here. Warning: there is profanity and violence in this story.Continue reading “Grudges Come Back to Haunt Us”

Christmas Lights in the Middle of August
Almost done catching up on the 52 week writing challenge. This one’s for the prompt “a story set in a strange small town.” Inspired by the season. Enjoy! The sunbaked clay road seemed to go on forever, but finally I found civilization. At least, I thought I had. The small town had a few scatteredContinue reading “Christmas Lights in the Middle of August”
But I’m Only Human
Still playing catch up on my 52 week writing challenge, and seeing as the year is quickly coming to an end, I need to get on that. Here’s a story I wrote for the prompt “a story about anger.” I do warn there is violence and references to abuse in this story, so proceed atContinue reading “But I’m Only Human”
Wild Ride
So for this prompt from my 52 week writing challenge, a story about a near death experience, I decided to go with an incident that actually happened to me about a month ago. Enjoy! Driving down the 95 is hell on a good day, but at night in a sports car with terrible blind spotsContinue reading “Wild Ride”

Day of Birth
For this 52 week writing challenge prompt, “a story that takes place the year you were born,” I decided to tell the story I’ve heard so many times from my mom about the day I was born, in my own words and how I heard the story. Happy Thanksgiving reading! “GET! ME! TO! THE! HOS.PIT.AAAAAALLLL!”Continue reading “Day of Birth”
Taking It Back
Here’s a short story for my 52 week writing challenge for the prompt “a retelling of a recent Hollywood movie.” I used a very loose base from this movie my friends and I saw in theaters to create this story. I wonder who can figure out what it is 😛 Val needed help, and fast.Continue reading “Taking It Back”
Meagan Reads Classics: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
As part of the 26 book reading challenge I’ve been participating in for about a year now (I’m such a slow reader these days), I chose to read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte for the category “a book that’s over 10 years old.” A quick summary of the novel: Jane Eyre is an orphan growingContinue reading “Meagan Reads Classics: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte”
I Hear You’re Asking All Around
Catching up on my 52 week writing challenge. This story inspired by the prompt “a tragedy that ends in romance.” Enjoy! WARNING: Profanity ahead! Proceed with caution. It’s one of those dumb moments we have as kids. Well, not kids, but not adults yet either. Almost though. Old enough to know better, but still youngContinue reading “I Hear You’re Asking All Around”
Stepped Out of the Line
Here’s another piece for the 52 week writing challenge I’ve been working on. This prompt was “a romance that ends in tragedy.” I was (unfortunately) inspired by current events and other pieces of fiction that all too well mirror our reality. Summer break was always my favorite. I’d get to come home from college and spendContinue reading “Stepped Out of the Line”
