• New York City

    “I always knew who I was looking for,” I told the bartender. “I knew he would show up soon enough if I was patient. And now, here he is.”  I gesticulated toward Anthony and the bartender looked quizzically at the barstool next to me. People often had this reaction when I told them about how…

  • The Stranger

    When the man first appeared outside my house, I had an inkling I knew him.  Or had least seen him before.  But I couldn’t pin down where I knew him from.  He looked like any other blue-collar worker I saw around town, but the fact he was standing on the sidewalk and staring at my…

  • Court Appearance

    “I always wondered what it would be like to have a court appearance.  And now I’ll get to see everything from the front row!”  I stared at Tonya, my neighbor, and I knew everything I thought about her was real.  I knew she was an attention seeker.  I knew she was nosy.  But I had…

  • Breaking Rules

    I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  I knew I shouldn’t be listening, but I couldn’t help myself.  If I stopped now, I knew the details would pass me by and I would never be able to recover.  What my teacher was saying about Amanda was shocking, but not unbelievable.  I knew she had a…

  • Information Highway

    By the time I had known Jared for almost a year, I was finally starting to get suspicious. Suspicious that he would only meet me under the cover of darkness. I knew he was in the tech world, and he supposedly kept a secret and “ancient” network across several oceans running at all hours of…

  • Maple Lane

    As I closed my bedroom curtains, I looked out the window at the snowman I had built that afternoon.  The longer I looked, the more it looked like it was smiling.  But it couldn’t really be smiling, right?  I shook my head, closed the curtains and got into bed, but the longer I tried to…
