  • The Window

    PHOTO PROMPT © Alicia Jamtaas  I knew when I saw him, I wanted to know him. But I knew he couldn’t come up to my apartment. It was too small and I had too much furniture. And I hadn’t done my laundry. It was too hot. The fan in the window was the only way…

  • The Cage

    I knew I was going to have a problem listening and obeying the rules when I saw where we would be living. There were no windows in the bedroom and I had to be able to see the sky. I needed to hear the birds. I needed the sun to shine through the clean glass. But…

  • Comfort and Lies

    All I wanted was the comfort of my own room.  My own place where I could be myself and not have to talk to anyone.  But I knew I wouldn’t have a room to myself anytime soon so I resigned myself to having to share.  At least I shared a room with Ashley and not…

  • The Haunted Apartment

    When we first stepped into the apartment, I knew we could never live there.  The main problem being the fact the windows were small and dark.  Mom had too many plants for this to be acceptable.  I also craved natural light too much to be stuck in such a dark apartment.  But when my mom…

  • The Fire Escape

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  When I first moved into the apartment building, I had a love/hate relationship with the fire escape. The love came from the fact yellow was my favorite color (dumb, I know) and that I was also terrified of fires so I was happy there was a way for me to escape.…

  • Noise Complaint

    I knew as soon as Harper moved in, the level of noise in the building would get out of control. I could hear her talking on the phone in the hallway when I was tucked in bed. How could someone possibly be able to talk that loudly? I usually was a sound sleeper so I…

  • Rose Street

    I heard about my old apartment getting demolished and had to get in on the action. Rose Street had been one of my favorite places to live and I was sad to see it go. I wanted to call Amy and see if she wanted to go with me to watch our old building get…

  • What Could Have Been

    “I knew your story could go further depending on one moment.  One moment that will change the course of your entire life.”  I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what my life would be like with Kevin still here.  Would we be celebrating our fifth anniversary or not?  Would he had left me if…

  • Late Night Horror Story

    I knew I wasn’t going to sleep as soon as the banging started. My apartment neighbors were at the beginning of either another fight or another raging party.  Banging always meant one or the other.  The clock read 10:30 so it was the perfect time for a fight.  Parties usually didn’t get going until around midnight or so.  By the time…
