  • The Graveyard

    As I tiptoed through the cemetery, I was pretty sure someone was watching me. I was certain no one had followed me so whoever it was must have already been here. Waiting.  If I could only get to the other side of the cemetery and to the street, I knew I could make it out.…

  • The Scream

    When the scream shattered the silence of the forest, I knew what was going to happen.  And when.  And also why.  Frank had been stalking us for three weeks and it was all because of what Taylor had said and done. I was hoping I could just get away before Frank caught up with me.…

  • Happiness

    I wish I knew why Jared’s happiness was centered around whether or not Applebee’s was open.  At first, I had thought he was falling for one of the waitresses, then maybe it was one of the waiters he had a thing for, but after following him a few times, I realized he didn’t have an…

  • Buzzer

    As the time counted down to zero, I began to calculate what my next move would be.  I needed to be the first one out of the gym and to my car.  I just hoped Kori would not be waiting for me outside.  If I could make it to my car safely, I could get…

  • The Sky is on Fire

    “I knew he was going to be dramatic when he stopped the conversation to tell everyone the sky was on fire.”  I stuffed my head into my pillow and tried to forget the night even happened.  “He’s been dramatic his entire life.”  I listened to Mykayla pour a glass of wine.  “But when he is…

  • Poppy’s

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I only went to Poppy’s to see the window. To study the window. I wanted to know how I could do the same thing, but the only problem was the food. Poppy’s had the most fantastic stained glass window in their ceiling, but had the worst food in town. It…

  • The Crush

    “I want to get to know you, but every time I try, you disappear.  Every time I stop by and know you’re home, you don’t answer.”  I quickly deleted the email before I hit send.  I knew I couldn’t send Jared another desperate email.  The phrase of “it can only get better from here” flashed…

  • Stalker

    “Did he get mad?  What was it like?  I’ve never seen Kyle mad.  Does he yell?  Scream?  Stomp his feet?”  Angela poured another glass of wine as she seemingly played twenty questions.  “It was kind of interesting to see him mad.  I had never seen him mad either.  But yeah, he was upset.  But he wouldn’t listen…

  • Risk vs. Reward

    As I drove slowly down the street, I wondered if the risks were greater than the reward.  The problem was I just wasn’t sure which one I was more interested in – the risk or the reward.  The risk was the fact I was potentially doing something illegal, but I knew the reward would be Tanner.  Probably.  All I…

  • Crazy

    “It helps if they think you’re crazy.”  The girl sitting next to me leaned across the aisle and plunked a pen down on my desk.  I was new to the school and of course, couldn’t find a pen.  She had black hair that had recently been dyed and was wearing more makeup than I thought possible. …
