Salt, salt is all I taste as water fills my mouth. Salt, as water fills my lungs. Fire is all I smell as water fills my nose. Burning, pain as it forces its way up my nose. Cold is all I feel, freezing unyielding cold. Cold crushing my body. So cold I feel nothing. All I see is complete and total black. Dark, so dark I can’t tell if my eyes are closed or open. Yet I can still see the movements of ...

The only thing I can see is the figure in front of me, a girl, her hair is so long, I wish my hair was like that. I don’t know why I’m following her, it seems wrong, whispers like the wind. Whispers of sweets, whispers of a bed, whispers of food, whispers of love. Promising whispers if I only follow her. My foot crunches on the soft ground, I look to where her feet should be, is she floating? Whis...

Her eyes are heavy as she stares out the window into the cold snowy front lawn. Her eyes drift closed, she looks peaceful, almost asleep. There’s a thump from the roof, he’s here. The girls eyes shoot open, she walks slowly to her bedroom door. Another thump this time from the living room.

“Santa” she gasps

She flings the door open, running down the stairs, she turns the corner and stops dead in...

“I’ll give you 2 minutes to ask any questions you want before you die.” I tell the the girl Abby Decker age 17, blonde, 5’6, blue eyes, pretty face.

“Tik tok Abby”

“ how do you know my name?” Panic lacing her voice

“I’ve been watching you of course”

“For how long?”

“A couple years”

“Why?”

“I’ve been waiting for this day”

“What’s gonna happen to me?” Her voice cracks and tears start to pour from ...

It starts again, life, friendships, jobs, relationships, pain, fire, death. Life starts over like it does every time. Sitting in a deep dark hole in a head that isn’t mine anymore. I begged for my life, I begged not to die. Face to face with satan himself, I begged. He gave me “mercy”, that’s what he told me, what he keeps telling me. But this is worse than any fate hell could have bestowed upon m...

Regret, grief, horror, all the things I feel look down the dock. This is the first time the cops have left the dock since the murder happened. Watching waiting for the murder to kill again. I haven’t been able to come here in months, but they say it’s safe now. My brother was the last victim, I wanted to visit. I walk toward the ladder, I feel the my body weighing me down, like kicking, pulling, r...

The words are out of my mouth before I can stop it

“I love you.” It feels like all my blood is rushing to my head, waiting for his response. His face is flushed, is he blushing?

“I…I love you too….but as a friend.”

Not blushing embarrassed, now I’m embarrassed. God I need to learn when to keep my mouth shut.

Welp there goes that friendship....

I was sitting in the principals office with John H. He was making fun of me, so I snapped back, something along the lines of his big fat nose. He punched me so I punched back and now we’re here. He was rambling on about how I was so mean to insult him and blah blah blah. I knew everything was gonna be okay, he would get in trouble and I wouldn’t cause he was wrong. The principle asked for my story...

The Landlord Emily hands me the keys to my new flat. "Rents due last Friday every month," She said as she walked away. I opened the door to my flat, all my things only took one trip to bring in. The flat came fully furnished. I quickly made dinner, in a hurry to sleep. I have to wake up early for my first day at work. Who knew moving across the country would be so exhausting? I change and head to ...
