  • The Ranch

    I watched as he pointed toward home and desperately hoped he would come back and get me.  That he wasn’t angry enough to leave me out here.  After all, it hadn’t entirely been my fault.  Sam promised me he had known the way.  Promised he could get us home before anyone noticed we were gone.  But now…

  • The Contest

    “Why does he always feel like everything is a contest?”  I whispered to my sister.  “Not everything needs to be about winning.”  I had tried to not bring up all the faults I saw in my sister’s new boyfriend, but I couldn’t always help it.  She had only been seeing Scott for a few weeks,…

  • Space

    “I need my own space,” I whispered to myself as I watched Amy throw her clothes all over the room.  I knew exactly where her keys were, but if she had kept her side of the room clean, she wouldn’t be in this spot.    “I need to go, I need to go, I need to…

  • The Worst Play

    I knew the play wasn’t going to go well, but I couldn’t stay away. Frankie was going to fail and I had to see it. He had been raving about the screenwriting when everyone else told me how terrible it actually was. I knew I should warn him what the critics were going to say,…

  • Consistent

    “If nothing else, at least you were consistent,” I said as Flynn drove away. “Consistent enough for me to know exactly what was going to happen today and prepare myself.”   I stopped muttering to myself as I noticed two teenagers give me a wide berth on the sidewalk. I smiled sweetly at them –…

  • The Flickering of a Light

    As soon as I saw the light flickering, I knew what it meant.  I knew I needed to go save Amanda, but I also needed to make sure I protected myself.  I had been preparing for this very moment so I had a bag ready to go.  I hated calling it a ‘go-bag’ like they…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Off Your Chest

    “You need to talk about it.  Keeping it inside is never going to help.”  Nathan started reaching out his hand and I recoiled. I couldn’t even believe he was trying to reconcile with me. And touch me? That would never happen again. I didn’t even want to think about what I would do if he…

  • Lost Memory

    I no longer believed Rory’s memory and I no longer believed he would act appropriately. At first, I did really believe he was suffering from short term memory loss and was on the road to recovery. Then Thursday happened.  My afternoon meeting had been cancelled and was able to leave the office earlier than normal.…
