  • Foggy Windows

    Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash  I watched the window of the cafe fog and I knew what I needed to do.  If I could get across the street without being seen, no one would be the wiser.  I knew I only had ten minutes before Alex would return, so I headed toward the door.  The rain would cover any tracks I would leave behind for Alex.  I could…

  • Terrifying

    I ran from the dinosaur  Especially when I heard him roar  It wasn’t until I saw his teeth  That I found a rock to hide underneath  Then I showed myself to the door 

  • Hurricane

    I knew the hurricane would be exactly like the last major storm we endured, mainly because of how my father was acting.  He was pretending like nothing was wrong, was avoiding the news and questioned me on why all the neighbors were leaving.  Nothing I could say would change his mind.  Instead, I packed my…

  • 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…

  • Running

    “You can’t run forever,” the voice said. “I will find you before you even remember your birthday.”  I pressed pause on the voicemail before the man could say anything else. I didn’t know who it was, but I knew what he was talking about. My past was finally catching up to me. I took a…
