Burden in a Miracle
Two days before my first birthday, in the middle of the night, I succumbed to cardiac arrest. My mom, an extremely well-trained lifeguard and

The Fairytale Mental Penitentiary
“I’m not a stalker. Philip and I were in love! I saved him a from drowning, and I just knew we’d be together forever. He just had to hear me sing.” A girl with fading teal and lavender hair and doll-like amethyst eyes said, fluttering her eyelashes. Ariel’s file was extensive, with a history of body dysmorphia, kleptomania, and hoarding.
“Ariel, we’ve been over this. You stayed in his house, followed him around, and didn’t speak to him for the first three days.”

And What’s Next?!
Now, I’m sharing it because, as you noted at the bottom of the piece, my grandma has passed away. I’ve been working on so many projects, and that inability to go running to my grandma and present her with my work and my progress is impacting me. Moreso, between the grief and fighting seasonal depression again, I want to just do my grandma the honor of making my first post about her and the gifts she gave me. I want to make this my first reminder. Taking care of me is the best way to remember her.

Letter from My Kidney
Hey girl, it’s me! Your kidney! I know you didn’t forget about me. I don’t know what you’ve been doing, but you need to get it together. My old home, the one you call Grandma? She gave me up to keep you alive. Now, you need to return the favor. I. HAVE. GOALS. NOW. I want to be the longest living kidney ever! Just imagine it! I would be historical, immortal even. I will be the most amazing kidney in the world. For me to accomplish my goals, you need to get your life together. I like you; I love you. But I’ll kill if you mess this up for me. Sit down, let’s talk.

About me...
Hi! I’m Michelle Tabisz. I’m a fiction and creative non-fiction writer. I’m working on curating some content for you! My first post is a dedication to my Grandmother, who was my best friend and the wonderful woman who donated kidney to me. Letter From My Kidney was one of the final pieces of writing that she was able to read before she passed. It will be my debut blog post, followed by my first published piece, Burden of a Miracle, in which is also non-fiction. I will also soon begin showing off my fantasy fiction, which is my preferred genre, with a four-part mini-series. If you want to know more about me, I will soon publish My Story on it’s own page, though my creative non-fiction will probably be more than satisfactory in respects of getting personal.
