  • Running Scared

    Everywhere I seemed  To go.  You were behind  To always scare me. 

  • Ghosts

    He never believed in ghosts  Which is a lie that he boasts  He was always one to scare  His heart being almost bare  Maybe he should move to one of the coasts 

  • Tiny Ninja

    “I always knew you were a ninja,” I said, putting my hand over my heart.  I had been preparing myself for this exact moment, but I had totally failed.  I knew Lori had been planning this prank for weeks and I knew I should have seen the signs along the way.  Because this was more…

  • The Pipes

    Amanda screamed.  Paused and then screamed again. I could see her shadow jumping around the kitchen and wondered what it could be this time. Amanda was the youngest of my siblings and there was always something happening. Always something dramatic. Most of the time I didn’t mind her antics, but on days like today, I…

  • Nightmares

    I couldn’t remember a time when I didn’t have nightmares. They came hurtling out of nowhere and could be triggered by a single smell. A single noise. A single touch. As much as I tried meditating, yoga, running, any and all forms of exercise, I couldn’t get rid of my nightmares. I tried exhausting myself…

  • In the House

    “Somebody’s here.  Somebody’s in the house.”  I desperately tried to find my phone while trying to not make noise or turn on the lights.  I wondered why Henry hadn’t started barking, but then I realized that meant something else entirely.  Either Henry knew who was stumbling through my house or whoever it was had done something to him.  As I struggled to…

  • The Clue

    “It was a major clue.  A major red flag things would never work out between the two of us.”  I repeated my new mantra as I moved my furniture out of Sean’s apartment.  He wasn’t supposed to be home for the next few hours so I was hoping he really would stay at work until…

  • Terror in the Woods

    I have always been terrified to go into forests of any kind simply because of a dream I had when I was nine.  As I grew older, I tried to convince myself the boogeyman didn’t exist and men didn’t live in the mountain caves down the street from our house.  It was a dream I had had on several…
