Love Is In the Air This Christmas

-
This is a short story from a writing prompt I got off of Pinterest (the author is unknown) Prompt: write a short story inspired by a Christmas song or incorporate it into the story. I chose the song Wrapped in Red by: Kelly Clarkson. This story is a complete work of fiction. Any names, places, or events that are in this story is a complete work of fiction.   EVE: It is a weird feeling being surrounded by so many people when you are feeling dejected. Everybody’s happy. The hum of their voices as some sing and others laughing all around me makes me feel even more lonely. I knew better than to come to the christmas festival, but my best friend was excited and I didn’t want to cancel on her again. I normally love this; all the decorations and lights are reasons enough to attend, but it’s the food that was the ultimate deciding factor for me. I am reaching for a warm gingerbread man when I see you. Snow is falling down around you and I swear I have never seen anything or anyone more breath

Framing the Princess

I did something that is unforgivable and I know they won't let me get away. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep running. Something is going to stop me whether that is nature, terrain, or my own body, however I refuse to think about that. A mile or two more and then I

Edith's Song

     Edith's Song Writing prompt by: The Annie For    she knows that hearing music in the woods at night was usually a bad thing, but it was such a pretty tune.... I grew up in a middle of nowhere town surrounded by woods for miles on end. I haven't been here since I left for college but now that my parents are dead I am returning to take over the family business. It’s not an ideal situation, but it was a pact that my older brother and I made. I ran from there as fast as I could; not only from my first love that crushed my heart but the folklore that surrounded the town and was very prominent on our land. I was named after one of the main fables. Her name was Edith and she would lure people to the woods somehow and kill them in all sorts of horrific ways. I never wanted the details, and in reality I doubt I could stomach it. I asked my parents to tell me why they named me after the eeriest story and they would simply say “you heard the legend of Edith, but what is not told is t
