  • Migration

    I knew the migration would happen as soon as Mr. Walsh walked into the classroom.  My only hope was he had gotten the letter and had headed for the hills.  But either he didn’t get the letter or he didn’t care.  Only I knew what he did and what was coming for him.  I knew…

  • Memory

    I felt a panic attack rise in my chest as I realized I didn’t remember.  Didn’t remember anything but the last twenty-four hours of my life. I had gone to sleep the night before, just like always, but when I woke up, I didn’t even know my own name.  Or where I was.  I looked…

  • You Must Be…

    “You must be Brenda. The one who is calling all the shots. The one I have been told to avoid…” Emilia let the words roll off her tongue in obvious disgust. Since I was new to the club, I still wasn’t sure who to trust. Wasn’t sure who I could believe.  I wanted to believe…

  • The Cost of being Wild

    “I knew the cost would be high, but I didn’t know it would be…” I stared out the window and watched Derek’s truck back out of my driveway. He had bribed me and now he was blackmailing me. I thought the bribe was his way of asking me out on a date, but I certainly…

  • Winter

    “Winter came fast this year.” Amanda stared out the window at the snow falling. “I hope they are planning on cancelling class tomorrow. I have so many other things to do.”  As she stared out the window, I stared at my laptop as if I could will the email to come through. I had more…

  • The Locking Door

    “You decide when you’re ready.  Nobody else.  I can’t help you with anything you are doing.  You.  It’s all up to you.”  I stared at my reflection in the mirror and tried to keep my face stern.  I needed to stand strong. If I budged at all, Terry would take control of what was going…

  • The Email

    Season 1. Episode 3. Here!

  • Next Time

    “I can’t imagine doing that to them.  Like how does that thought even enter your mind?”  I stared at the back of Nikki’s head as she started walking toward the front of the store.  Nikki straightened her shoulders so I knew she heard me, but made no move to respond.  I knew her plan was to frame Jess and Randy for the broken glass at school…

  • Influencer

    I knew I could influence Doug and lead him exactly where I needed him to go.  And it was imperative this time he followed my every instruction.  Without Doug, nothing would matter as the pieces of my plan would not fall perfectly into place.  I meant for this relationship to get me out of the financial crisis I was in,…

  • Matters

    “Keep your mind on your matters,” I read the email out loud.  “Do I really want to keep my mind of my own matters?”  I stood up as I closed my laptop and started pacing in my closet office.  My life was based on knowing what everyone around me was doing on how they were doing. …
