While traveling we always have new experiences, whether they are amazing, life changing or just disillusioning. Tell us your travel story. It may deal with a travel journey to a new place, time traveling, revisiting one's past, visiting a lost love or a new one, or an inner journey. Travel reports can be as much about one's internal navigation of their emotions as a physical voyage.
There is currently running a free-to-enter short story contest on BookRix for writers and readers. The theme is "…

Taking it a step further….takes a motivational force….
Taking it a step further…..
Is the difference between self-destruction or a positive course.
Taking it a step further…takes inner strength, courage and faith.
Taking it a step further….
Is to continue not knowing, those who love you and those who hate.
Taking it a step further….is to move on and on

Is to create a path, build a bridge, or make a road.
When the highway’s gone.

Ms. Smith
Look, there out the window, isn’t that Ms. Smith?
She’s so well dressed; her beauty truly a gift.
You say those children all belong to her
Oh what a blessing to a proud husband, I’m sure.
What, no husband?
One, two, three boys and the girl carrying the bags,
My, my, what happened on the path she chose?
She had blossomed to be a rose.
No, no don’t say that, her life is a common fad…
Wait one minute that limp she never had!
You say she took to alcohol and drugs,
What you say the men in…

For the last year, I have been waiting on a promise that I learned about as a child. I had nearly forgotten about it until early last year and the events of the following months made it appear as if my dream was nothing more than a smoker's fantasy. It appeared that I was getting farther and farther away from what I wanted most. My dream seemed to be lost in an ocean of circumstances and I felt helpless to recapture it.
Have you ever wanted something so bad that you were willing to sacrifice wh…
