  • Perfection

    PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart  As I watched the woman walk toward me with her face in her phone, I knew she was exactly who I was waiting for.  In everyone’s eyes, she embodied perfection.  Poise.  Grace.  I knew better and needed to find a way to expose her lies without anyone finding out it was me.…

  • Urges

    Urging to live life  Not knowing any better  I will not tell you 

  • Fraud

    I believe that you have secrets  But your lying was needless  Thinking you were above the law  Never admitting to any flaw  But instead, I was often left sleepless 

  • Broken

    Part of me broke the day Liam drove away.  It was part heartbreak, but mostly shame.  If I hadn’t accidentally spilled his secret, he and his family wouldn’t be moving away.  It had to have been me that spilled be the beans, but I wasn’t sure when I had done it.  I am positive I…

  • 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…

  • Buried Secrets

    “I knew there was always a chance he was going to panic. But I was trying to hold out hope he was going to be all right. That he would survive. Carry on.” Before I could finish, Sasha interrupted me.  “This has always been your problem. You trust everyone way too much. Trusting them to…

  • Moonlight

    I watched the moon rise and knew I had to be patient.  If I left too soon, everything would be ruined.  But I knew if I had to stand quietly for much longer, everything would be ruined anyway.  I knew coming here was a mistake, but I couldn’t help myself.  I needed to know where Carl…

  • Accessories

    I had always been obsessed with accessories.  I wore bracelets.  I wore barrettes.  I wore earrings.  My parents were always trying to get me to tone it down, but after a while, they quietly gave up.  There was no use.  Maybe I used accessories to distract everyone from what was really bothering me, but I…

  • The Library

    Growing up in a large city, I could always find trouble to get into when my parents had to work late.  There were concerts, plays, sporting events, everything I could want to do to get some attention.  It wasn’t until I walked through the front doors of the public library that I realized what I…
