Day 147, the time, irrelevant. I have been here day after day waiting for the same person to arrive. How is it possible to have been sitting here for this long with still no sign of Mariah. But these two are new. It’s been 16 days since anyone has come to this cross way. I wonder if they knew this was here to begin with. I wonder if they know each other is on the other side. Why is it that ...

I wasn’t prepared for this moment. All the years I’ve been on this earth and I never once felt this magnetism. Even as an earth sign, drawn to the every fibers of the soil, I’ve never been pulled in, a fish on a reel, to something so…. Bewitching. you made me tremble from the inside out. As if I’m the san andreas fault and “the big one” has finally hit. Every piece of my being is crumbling ...

The radio plays in the background, going in and out of static interruption. The storm seems to be getting stronger. Natasha has been driving all night. It might be a good time to pull off somewhere, but where, she thinks. Taking the scenic route doesn’t always have its advantages. This time being one of them.

But he had often w...

Mylah steps out onto her balcony and stares out into the night sky. She loved the way the big blue star lit up the sky in the evenings. But it never took long for the Neon colors of the bustling city below to interrupt her peace. It was the only time of the day where she could enjoy a moment with herself, her thoughts, and all the twinkling stars she became so obsessed with. It was always beau...

I just moved in with some old friends a few weeks ago and they are very responsible when it comes to locking up when they leave, especially since the two of them are out of town for a romantic getaway. So why would the door be wide open? Prior to moving in they did mention to me that an older gentlemen tends to wander into their yard, and every once in a while he finds a way in. Could that mome...

1964, Malden, Massachusetts, Malden high school. Peter walks into the schools hallways like he’s done many times before. He goes straight to his locker to put his books away and gather the items he needs for English literature. Josh bumps into Peter, pushing him to the locker. Peter collects himself in irritation while Josh and his group of friends laugh loudly and walk on. The bell rings and...

Abigail heard rustling through the trees. She hated that she was somehow convinced to go camping. After all, she hated the outdoors and the wilderness. She would rather be put up in a nice hotel room, sipping wine in a nice hot bath. Stephen said he’d be back, but that was almost 10 minutes ago now. Abigail was trying to decide if she should go look for him, but it was raining and the fog had ...
