The Hidden Door – Never Have I Ever
The girls slowly congregated in my room. I could see the reluctance on their faces. It reminded me of the first day of school and the dreaded getting to know you games. Like those teachers, I practically glared at, I smiled brightly and invited the girls to sit down. Emma and Kylie showed up last. […]

The Hidden Door – Students Arrive
The week before the students arrived passed quickly. I spent most of the time in the library organizing and shelving books. Also, I pulled the books Laura would need for her language arts classes and set them aside. I also kept working on going up the ladder a few more times. While I was not […]

The Hidden Door – Midnight Wanderings
After fleeing dinner, I unpacked and paced my room. Today had been an exciting day, but I still felt restless. I tried laying down to sleep, but my mind ran in circles. Frustrated I pushed back the covers, and slipped into my slippers. At my window, I could see the almost full moon high in […]

Exploring My Floor I did not bring much with me, so I finished unpacking pretty quickly. I still had several hours until dinner.

I Didn’t Want to Write Today
No, seriously. I didn’t want to write today. Already I have gone through three or four possible topics. Yet none of them captured my interest enough to actually write about it. Now I know sometimes we have to write about things we don’t like, but usually, something catches my interest enough to write a little. […]
