  • Top Secret

    “This is top secret.  We cannot let anyone else in on our plan,” Jonah paused as he looked around at our small (but mighty) group.  “This is your last chance to back out with no repercussions.”  When nobody backed out or stared hopelessly at the ground, Jonah nodded toward the playground with determination.  I had hoped he was going to…

  • No One Saw Her

    “I know she was here.  I tracked her phone and she is here.  Let me in!”  I knew I was almost screaming, but I was on the verge of being completely hysterical.  I knew my sister was inside.  Either by choice or she had been forced to come in.  Forced to stay.  I was opening…

  • The Cave

    “I knew the only place he could be hiding would be in the cave.”  Lori looked over her shoulder like she knew exactly what she was talking about.  The black look on Eli and my faces did not deter her from continuing.  “The cave in Sedona was the only place he felt safe.”  I tried…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Jacket Pocket

    I knew there was a problem as soon as I put on my mother’s jacket.  Her pockets were too heavy.  I had finally found her hiding spot; the hiding spot I had been searching for.  I knew she had forgotten she had left the photos in her pocket because she had been hiding them from…

  • Truly Sorry

    “He told me he was sorry, but after what he has done, how can I believe him?  How can I ever believe our father ever again?”  I stared at the lake and wanted my sister to say something.    I knew she wanted our father to go back to being the father of our childhood, but…

  • The Principal’s Office

    “How did it feel?  Are you proud of yourself?  Feel good about yourself?  Do you want to try that again?”  I was sitting outside the principal’s office, trying not to get sick, I didn’t know who exactly who he was talking to, but I had a pretty good idea of who it was.  Bruce was…

  • The Helicopter

    The helicopter was hovering and I was about to lose my mind. I felt like the helicopter had been above my house for hours when I knew it was only a few minutes. I was one of the nosiest neighbors on the street and was dying to know what was going on outside, but didn’t…

  • Drive Me Crazy

    “I knew she would drive me crazy the very first time I laid my eyes on her. I think it was the way she strolled in like she owned the place,” I knew I was talking to no avail as I knew Tony wasn’t really listening. All eyes were on Virginia as she was led…
