  • The Icy Fingers

    I knew I was in trouble when the ice cold fingers grasped onto my arm with surprising strength. It took me longer than it should have to realize what was happening and before I could scream, another hand covered my mouth.  “If you scream, we both die. If you stay quiet, then we can escape…

  • The Neighbor
