  • Hurricane

    I knew the hurricane would be exactly like the last major storm we endured, mainly because of how my father was acting.  He was pretending like nothing was wrong, was avoiding the news and questioned me on why all the neighbors were leaving.  Nothing I could say would change his mind.  Instead, I packed my…

  • Not For a Second

    I stood backstage and watched the play.  Until this very show, I thought I had done the right thing, gone down the right path, but now I wasn’t so sure.  I had believed Derek when he told me things were going to change, but we were now ten weeks into the show and everything was…

  • Blood of my Blood

    “I knew the moment I brought up blood, she would change her mind.  There was no way she could get through any part of the plan if there was a possibility of blood.  Ever since she had to get stitches in third grade, she has fainted at the mere mention of blood.”  I peered out…

  • The Shoe

    When I found the shoe behind my car, I knew who it belonged to and why it was there.  It was Jake and he was trying to pull another prank over on me.  But this time, I wasn’t going to fall for it.  I steadfastly went on with my life and pushed Jake out of…

  • The Future

    “Well, I didn’t see that coming,” I said as I watched my car sink deeper into the pond.  I glanced sideways as Suzy and almost laughed as her jaw seemed to be edging closer to the asphalt.  I knew I shouldn’t be so happy about my car sinking into a pond, but I knew I would…

  • The Muddy Forest

    PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson  I knew the forest would be muddy, but I wasn’t expecting this. How would I ever be able to follow through with my plan if I could get my car through? It was obvious someone had tried before me, but I didn’t have the driving experience to make me confident…

  • The Car

    I knew the car would be a problem before I even saw it. Greg’s idea of a working car was completely different from my idea of a working car. All Greg needed was something that would start. I needed something that actually ran well. A car I knew I could rely on. A car I…

  • Going Green

    PHOTO PROMPT © Brenda Cox  I knew the car had to be mine the moment I saw it.  It wouldn’t be as inconspicuous as I wanted to be with the bright green, but maybe standing out was a way I could stay hidden.  I planned to hide in plain sight.  I hated green, but I knew…

  • 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.…

  • Hidden Secrets

    “Where do you think he would have hidden it?”  Tyler lay on the hill next to me and whispered into my ear.  He knew I hated the way his whispers tickled my ear, but did it anyway.   “It’s a car.  It’s not like he can hide it somewhere in plain sight.  If it’s not in the…
