  • 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…

  • A Glimpse From Afar

    I knew a glimpse from afar was the only look I would get of Chad.  I knew this would be my last look before I had to leave.  To disappear.  To never see my friends and family again.  If I stayed, I knew Chad would pull me under his spell just like all the women…

  • His First Assistant

    “His first assistant was a nightmare,” Laurie gossiped.  This was the only reason I was able and willing to sit at the desk next to her.  I needed to know everything about the company because I needed to duplicate the entire company.  Right down to the color of the carpet.  And I needed to do…

  • 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…

  • Buried Secrets

    “I’m not supposed to be talking to you,” I mumbled, trying to walk quickly away from AJ.  He was the root of all my problems, and I had been too dumb to figure it out before now.  He was the reason for my swift downfall, and I had run blindly into his trap.  AJ had…
