  • Escape

    I always wanted to figure my life out, but I never knew how.  I stared at the television and wondered where to go and what to do next as if I was waiting for the characters to tell me what would come my way.  I knew what I needed, but was stuck on how to get…

  • The Donation

    When the donation first came through, I immediately started crying. I had never needed help more than I needed it right now.  I had never asked for money before, for help before, but my situation was dire.  Everything had started when Mario smashed my car into a tree. He wasn’t supposed to be driving, but…

  • World Changing

    The moment there was a shadow in my doorway, something was wrong.  No one ever visited the lab this late, even if they had forgotten something – the security was much too cumbersome to come back for something small and insignificant.  I knew the visitor was here about the experiment and the results I had…

  • The Pirates

    “I always have a bag packed.  Just in case,” I said noticing Angela looking at the bag in the corner of my room.  “Just in case of what?”  She asked skeptically.  I knew she was dying to look inside and see everything.  She was just nosy enough not to let it go.  “The pirates.  They…

  • Stranded

    I was currently stuck in a cabin in the woods with no chance of escape.  I had originally been enthralled with the possibility of being alone and stranded, but now I wasn’t so sure.  I had thought the isolation would be soothing.  And it was for a while.  But now that I was completely and…

  • Sunrises

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot The moment I saw the first sunrise in my house, I knew I was never going to leave. I had never been much of a morning person, but if mornings looked like this, I knew I couldn’t get enough. When I finally decided to stop drinking wine with my dinner, I…

  • Playground Party

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  The rain had almost ruined the party, but now I knew it was going to go exactly how I envisioned. Chase hated the rain and getting wet so I knew he wouldn’t leave his house if there was a chance of either happening. I think he was sure he was…

  • The Kitchen Door

    The kitchen door was closed and I knew what that meant.  I knew trouble was coming and the yelling would start soon.  I tried to tiptoe as quickly as I could down the hall to my room with nobody listening, I could grab my backpack and a snack before anyone even knew I was there. …

  • The Football Game

    I knew the entire semester would come down to this single football game.  If we won, everything would be perfectly fine and my plans were on track.  Part of me wanted to tell Alex what was on the line if he played up to his capabilities, but this was my problem, not his.  The more he…

  • Dancing

    “When did you stop dancing?  I always liked going to your shows.”  Pete took a sip of his wine, but never broke eye contact.  I blushed.  I had accidently spilled Pete’s drink down the front of his shirt when I backed my chair out from the table.  My jaw almost dropped as I remembered.  Remembered Andrea.  And Pete.    “I didn’t know…
