Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.”

“I walk at night under a moonless sky. Only the terrain guides my steps, yet my footfall is as sure as if a dozen suns lit the way. I go to meet you under a leafless tree that never seems to grow or alter its shape. I am uncertain if it still lives or has learned to disguise its death. The same thought crosses my mind when I feel your cold fingers take my hand. It is not the tree I reflect upon.
‘Do you still love me?’ The words tumble clumsily out of the dark.
Hesitation is its own answer, but I reply ‘I’m here’ anyway as if my words were whispered comfort and not a weathered blade. They are taken wrong.
‘I love you too.’
Your arms wrap me up and clamp tightly around my waist. An old, familiar kiss hardens my lips. I wonder why it is I return to this place every year where only memories remain fond. Perhaps it is because I keep hoping this leafless tree will either change or die.”

“I walk in the direction she tells me. I feel my pores opening, sweat and heat radiating out of my body. A firefly dances in the distance, leaving tracers, and if I turn my head from side to side, I see long yellow-green streaks that cut through my vision and burn in front of my retinas even after the light that sparked them has gone.
I emerge from the mango grove into a field. In the distance unseen trucks pass with a sound like the ocean licking the sand. A tracery of darkness curls into a starry sky, a solitary pipal tree making itself known by an absence of light, like a flame caught in a photographer's negative, frozen, calling me.”

“I walk into the water and it’s ten degrees cooler than the air,
absolutely freezing freezing cold, it makes my breath come all fast
and I can only take in little gulps of air. I feel the sting of the cut on
my leg as the salt gets in it. And I push further into it, so that the
water comes up to my chest, then my shoulders and now I really
can’t breathe properly, like I’m wearing a corset. I feel tiny fireworks
explode in my head and on the surface of my skin and all the bad
thoughts loosen, so I can look at them more easily.
I put my head under, shaking it to encourage the bad thoughts to
float away. A wave comes, and the water fills my mouth. It’s so salty
it makes me gag and when I gag I swallow more water and don’t
manage to breathe and more water goes in, and it’s in my nose too
and each time I open my mouth for air more water comes in instead,
great big salty gulps of it. I can feel the movement of the water under
my feet and it feels like it’s tugging me somewhere, trying to take me
with it. It’s like my body knows something I don’t because it’s fighting
for me, my arms and legs thrashing out. I wonder if this is a bit what
drowning is like. Then I wonder if I am drowning.”

“I walk out into the open, never dreaming of what I'd see. I sat on a tree and saw Mother Nature crying to me. When I looked around, I knew the pain She felt. All the trees lifeless on the ground. She cries and asks me, 'How?' She continued, 'It's gone. I had to say goodbye to my grass, trees, and little animals, too. This was once beautiful and I was happy, but now I feel like you.'
(Larissa Ross, student)”
