  • The Fortune Teller

    “We are really going to interrogate a fortune teller?  Which one?  Who is she?”  I stared at my partner as she was practically jumping up and down with excitement.  “What are you so excited about?  You have a thing for voodoo?  Spirits?  Think you want someone to predict your future?  Know your secrets?”  I grabbed…

  • My Roommate

    I always knew my roommate was into some odd things, but I never knew how far she had fallen. It was her charisma, her charm, that pulled me in. I had always been told I was naïve and a little too loyal to those I would blindly follow, but I always thought I was going…

  • On the Run

    PHOTO PROMPT © Alicia Jamtaas  The only time I have ever felt free in my life was when I could fit my belongings into my garage.  It was not until then that I felt like I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.  If I wanted to go on a vacation, my bags were…

  • Bones

    I knew the bones had not been there yesterday, but where had they come from? And were they human? They seemed to be too small to be human, but I wasn’t sure. Should I call the police just in case? I stood at the edge of the forest and stared at the bones on the…

  • The Shed

    PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart  As I stood on the sidewalk, I couldn’t decide if I should call the police or check out the shed by myself. I knew the man had come this way, but where could he have gone? Was he really hiding inside the shed or was he just waiting for me?…

  • Welcome Committee

    There was no way I felt like I would ever be welcomed into Frank’s house.  I was never sure why, but I think it had something to do with my brother.  He had dated Frank’s sister and ended up breaking her heart for unknown reasons.  At least that was the story Fern and Davis were…

  • Magic

    “I’m not going through any ‘portal’ or whatever you have called it.  I am staying here and not leaving until further notice.”  I crossed my arms and sat defiantly on the edge of the couch.  As my mother moved toward the front door, I wondered if I was making the right decision.  If I was…

  • The Attorney

    “Do you think we need to find an attorney?  I don’t know what is happening right now?”  Rob had the deer in the headlights look as he turned to face me.  I almost laughed at the look on his face if I hadn’t known how nervous he was.  Based on who his father was, I…

  • The Party

    “He claimed he wasn’t there.”  My mother crossed her arms and glared.  “Mom, he is lying to you.  I saw him with my own eyes. I know he was there.  He-” before I could finish my defense, the doorbell rang.  Suddenly, out of nowhere, I knew it was the police.  They had been at the…

  • Wandering Off

    “Don’t wander off.  I’ll be done in just a few minutes and we’ll need to leave quickly after that.  Got it?”  I looked at my sister and waited for her to acknowledge me.  She was looking for our mother – she always was these days.  “She’s not here,” I said softly.  “She never liked coming…
