  • Sunlight

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rowena Curtin  As I looked down the crowded alley, I wondered if it would be safe to walk down alone. I remembered what had happened the last time I was in an alley and suddenly I knew I couldn’t safely make it down the alley. Jason had been there, lurking. Waiting for…

  • World Changing

    The moment there was a shadow in my doorway, something was wrong.  No one ever visited the lab this late, even if they had forgotten something – the security was much too cumbersome to come back for something small and insignificant.  I knew the visitor was here about the experiment and the results I had…
