Adrianna had never actually seen it.

She had been told stories of it since she was a little girl, and had walked miles and miles of the forest, but had never found it.

The tunnel. Could it really be that she was standing in front of the one thing she had wanted so badly? As a child she would visit it in her dreams, and it looked exactly as it did now. Was she dreaming at that very moment? She ...

Why?

Why did she leave? Why did she forsake every single thing we have ever known while growing up? She knows better.

Her parents are long time members of the church. Her whole family is involved. She herself has been an active member of the church for as long as I can remember. She’s been a Sunday School teacher, a choir member, traveled on mission trips, and went to a Bible College. She was ...

The mist sat on the outstretched limbs in droplets. High in the sky somewhere there was sunshine, but by the time it reached the upturned face of the small girl, it was nothing but a glimmer of light. The world around her was shrouded in shadows.

Her feet were bare. Her skin was cold to the touch, but she didn’t mind. All she could think about was the figure in front of her. The tall, ethereal be...

It was the first quiet morning Sean had experienced in what felt like months. He had finally made it to the East coast, and the salty air was revitalizing. As he walked along the misty path that stretched out before him through a small field, he wondered what it was once used for. Someone had taken the time to lay square stepping stones several hundred feet. Was it a path to the shore for a family...

Calvin was swinging, a carefree grin on his upturned face to the clear blue sky.

Rose sipped her ice-coffee and thought to herself that this was the best day they had experienced in a long ...

When I woke up this morning, I never thought that I would be trying to paddle as fast as my arms would allow me down a river. But, here I was; hauling ass while trying to stay out of the path of the crazy back woodsman firing at me.

The day had started pretty good. I had slept like a baby the night before, nice and cozy in my one-man tent. It was while I was enjoying a cup of coffee that had bee...

Things were not going as planned. Ronaldo gripped the steering wheel and tried not to plow into the back of the slow-moving Nissan in front of his F150 pickup.

Beside him, in the passenger seat, his wife of 2 years was screaming. That was a new noise to him. She was normally a very quiet and reserved person. But at this moment she had a hand clutching his forearm, and a sound like nothing he had ...

The split was fresh. Raw. If it was a living thing, the blood would still be warm.

Katrina could barely open her eyes due to all of the crying she had done overnight. There wasn’t a single tear left.
