  • Free and Clear

    “We are in the free and clear.  I hope we can escape before he gets back,” Riley whispered as we both listened for Jerald to come back.  His heavy tread on the wood floor was the only way we knew whether or not he was home.  For being such a shy and docile man, I had…

  • Imagination

    My mother had never had much of an imagination so I happily made up enough for both of us.  I always wondered why she never had any imagination, but never really questioned her about it.  The one time I did, she immediately and suddenly became deaf and wouldn’t talk to me for the rest of…

  • 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.…

  • 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 Locking Door

    “You decide when you’re ready.  Nobody else.  I can’t help you with anything you are doing.  You.  It’s all up to you.”  I stared at my reflection in the mirror and tried to keep my face stern.  I needed to stand strong. If I budged at all, Terry would take control of what was going…

  • Kidnapping

    He crept up on me like a ghost.  I never saw him and I didn’t hear him until it was too late.  Now I was stuck and didn’t know if I could get out of this situation easily. And I really wanted out. Mainly because he wasn’t talking. I knew he was shy, but he…

  • The Kidnap

    I hoped the auto repair shop would have my best interests in mind.  I was  looking for my father and Middleham Motors was the last place he’d been seen.  Even just getting to this point had been a struggle.  My mother had disappeared from my life when I was only 9 months old and I had seen – with…
