{Watty Awards 2013 Winner} This is simply a story about a lonely girl who finds love.

I wanted to write Hope for those who seem hopeless. • • • In March of 2013, Letters was #1 in the short story category.

A quiet afternoon is infinitely more interesting when you add a young man who claims to be a time-traveler, a half-completed shopping list, and an unhealthy amount of sarcasm. {Written 2014}

The Teen Years - filled with those long, dwindling days till adulthood. Too much pressure, a lot of insecurity, and quite a bit of soul-searching. Thinking there's not an accurate enough representation of teenagedom in fiction, it's only fit that Jenna Lachs writes about such when given the task to create a short story for her Beginners English Class. Filled with memoirs about herself, her hippie foster-parents Hannah and Clide, and her pitiful first attempt at a New Start, Jenna's holding nothing back.

A fear of flying is one thing. Being seated next to a Tetris-addict who claims to be the Reaper is quite another. "He pulled out a business card. Where his profession should have been stated, the card read 'Destroyer of Worlds'. Nodding slowly, I pocketed the card."

She was invincible and unfixable. She was the woman you'd been warned about since you could walk. She was the smile that robbed a million dollars, and twice as many hearts. {Written 2013.}

As far as lazy roommates go, Death is probably as bad as they come. Rosa Delgada only wants a nice, ordinary weekend. When some guy claiming to be the Reaper comes knocking on her door, any plans of normality are thrown straight out of the window. Now she's got to worry about Death sleeping on her sofa, the forces of evil hunting down her new roommate, and - worst of all - all the post-break-up comfort food she keeps eating. And to make matters worse, Death is almost certainly going to go down in the record books as being the universe's least helpful roommate. He may be a horseman of the apocalypse but he'll be damned if he doesn't do the dishes. But life's going to get a whole lot harder for Rosa. Death's sudden holiday is resulting in some grizzly repercussions, and now all of the Underworld is out to drag him back. There's only so far sarcasm and strawberry ice cream will get you.
