  • The Scream

    When the scream shattered the silence of the forest, I knew what was going to happen.  And when.  And also why.  Frank had been stalking us for three weeks and it was all because of what Taylor had said and done. I was hoping I could just get away before Frank caught up with me.…

  • 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…

  • Walt

    As the Porsche pulled up beside me, I never would have guessed who was behind the wheel. I hoped I was able to hide my shock when Walt rolled the window down, but by the look on his face, I don’t think I was successful.  “Were you expecting someone else?” Walt asked, staring at me…

  • Funny

    I only ever met one man I’d actually say was funny. And I was obsessed. Having grown up in a home where laughing and jokes were not heard often, I wanted to surround myself with those who laughed and joked. Anthony was, at this point, my only hope. I met him when I was in…

  • The Hike

    A loud scream echoed through the forest just as I made it back to my car. I stopped short and wondered if there was any chance the scream came from Kelly. Even if it did, I didn’t think I could go back. I knew she was the one who had turned me in and had…

  • Winnings

    I ran into the kitchen when I heard Sarah start screaming. She was usually pretty quiet so for her to be screaming so loudly was unusual.  “What? What? What’s happening?” I asked barely able to get any words out at all. Sarah was hopping around the kitchen, still screaming.  “I won! I won! I won!”…

  • Fast Food

    Every time I went out of town, I always ended up in the same place.  It didn’t matter where I was headed or when, I always ended up at the corner of Main Street and Water Avenue. There was nothing on this corner for me – the only thing here was a Dunkin’ Donuts and…

  • Felix

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew I was in the right place as soon as I saw the stuffed animals hanging on the line.  I had found Felix.  I had made it after years of searching with little to no success. I was here and would finally be able to pull my life back together.…
