A spirit with a dismal job decides traveling to warmer climes will cheer him up. An entry for the #SouthwestContest by Southwest Airlines

A young girl on a trip with her grandmother overcomes her fear of flying by looking at the world through her imagination.

-----For privacy purposes my and my family names have been changed but this is a true story----- I met the love of my life when I was only 14 years old. We lived in one of those hopeless small towns. The kind where you either end up a teacher or sales associate at Walmart. I'm not saying either of these are bad but its not what I wanted. I wanted to be a performer, live my life on Broadway. Of course this was an unachievable dream not because I'm not talented but because when I turned 18 I found myself working as a CNA in a nursing home. The pull to care for others pushed down and drowned the side of me that wanted to be a star. My drive for the spotlight became a hunger to live for those I cared for. My high school sweetheart turned fiancée also had a drive to serve others. He spent 6 years as a vet tech and on October 9th, 2019 he shipped off to bootcamp. I found myself in new roles. In a matter of months I had become a wife, I had a new job, and both my brothers (whom recently shipped to bootcamp) had graduations coming up. Just when the dust was settling my new husband called me. He had gotten orders. My whole life crumbled around me and I couldn't get enough air into my lungs. ---------KEEP READING TO FIND OUT WHERE WE MOVED---------

Everything I wanted to say, everything that I couldn't. Just honest feelings from a dishonest person. Oblivion: the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening around one. . Excerpt from book: She was the one who brought white flowers, who cried and cried at his grave. The flowers knew nothing of what had trespassed, but yet they embraced his grave as their own and lay there till they withered and passed away. No flower met another anymore. Each one was buried in their own graveyard. Their own destiny, their own world. But all met the same end. Each and every flower withered and withered till it could not be found anymore. ''We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.'' -Dead Poets Society

My second entry for the #SouthWestContest Best friends, Dustin and Riley can't stand the separation when Riley leaves for a four month vacation with her family. So Dustin makes a bold move to fly out and surprise her.... and he plans to finally admit his secret feelings for her. But when his plans go awry, will he be up a creek? Or can two kind strangers help him out?

My first time on a plane. Never had I gotten on a plane before. Much less to go to Europe. Spain to be more precise. No one with me and no previous experience. Sure I would meet my cousin over there but that didn't take away we were both departing from two different states and would arrive in two different planes.

The entire description lies in the title as there's not much to tell other than an old traveling experience. This short story isn't just oriented to the nice and kind experience of new travels and new worlds to explore but also to the importance of those elder and wise as well as the elder and childish. A story told to me by my grandfather, weather it's true ot not however I cannot say. Of course, that is, it was real to me every time I had heard it and it had a pretty straight up message that I hope, I can make as clear as my grandfather.

When Addi goes on a trip to visit her childhood best friend Josh Richards things get interesting. Will Addi fall in love? will Addi lose friends along the way? read along to find out!
