  • Building Tension

    As soon as Mason walked into the room, I threw all my insecurities out the window.  At least I tried to.  I downed what was left of my wine and took a deep breath.  Tonight was the night.  I had to talk to him and find out exactly what had happened between Rosa and him. …

  • Bad Habits

    As the river churned, I wondered if it was a reflection of my future.  I knew I needed to leave town as soon as possible.  Otherwise, I would sink back into the hard living of my past.  I knew I would immediately get sucked back in with my college friends and fall back into the…

  • Painting Party

    I never knew paint could be as big of a problem as it ended up being the last time I ever used paint. You would think adults knew more about what was going to happen when wine was mixed with painting parties, but I guess common sense occasionally gets thrown out the window. Everything started…

  • Accountability

    Photo by Ben White on Unsplash  I always knew my neighbor played the victim. Mainly because Madeline was really good at it and got everything she wanted. She was educated, but cunning. Smart enough to pull a ruse and not get caught. But yet, dumb enough to let me in on her secret. I usually was the secret…

  • Finger Taps

    I watched as he tapped his fingers and wondered what my punishment might be.  I knew in the real world my transgressions weren’t too serious, but in the eyes of my father, they were enormous.  All I had wanted was one night out with my friends and here I was, sitting in the back of…

  • Covered

    “I wasn’t sure what to think when he said he had it ‘covered’. He has never had anything covered in his entire life. He wants to project an image that he has his life pulled together, but he doesn’t.” As Angela turned into the grocery store parking lot, I finally let myself breathe. Her driving…

  • Evaluate

    “I should have thought about this before I came. If I had thought about it, I knew the night would take this turn,” I whispered to myself as I watched the party spiral out of control. Part of me was horrified while the other part of me was mesmerized by how everyone was acting. I…

  • Playground Party

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  The rain had almost ruined the party, but now I knew it was going to go exactly how I envisioned. Chase hated the rain and getting wet so I knew he wouldn’t leave his house if there was a chance of either happening. I think he was sure he was…

  • Keep it Clean

    “All I wanted to do was to take a shower and no one would let me!  Every time I went near the bathroom, someone would block the door.  I didn’t understand what was going on.”  Elizabeth acted indignant, but I knew she really just wanted everyone to listen to her. She was obsessed with being…

  • Caught

    All I wanted to do was relax, but I could never find a second to myself.  I knew if I didn’t process what happened the night before, I would never be able to survive.  I could never survive another night under this house if I had to explain my actions to anyone else.  Or defend…
