Ingrid groggily drifts back into consciousness. Shooting pain signals throughout her body; she is sore from being tied up and gagged. Listening to muffled voices, Ingrid struggles to concentrate.

_It's okay, remember your training._

Pausing, she inhales through her nose, letting the air settle in her core and clearing the fogginess from her mind. With her eyes closed, Ingrid focuses her attenti...

Part Two to “Fair on the Pier”

Earlier that Day…

If you ever get handed a hall pass that’s _already filled out_ with your name, time, and destination… run. Seriously. Sprint in the opposite direction, fake an injury, start a fire—whatever it takes. Because that’s how it started for me. One second I was zoning out in chem class, thinking about how thermodynamics is stupid and useless, and the nex...

I live here I thought as I looked out to the ominous blue.

The arctic ice warms my heart and the chill in the air helps me breathe.

I can’t believe I live here in this paradise.

Of course it wasn’t by choice, not originally, but one can get used to the certain perks such an isolated place can offer.

No people talking your ear off and no children running around causing havoc.

I was sad at firs...

Well this is nice. Afternoon tea with the girls, feels like it has been forever since we all got together like this. We all have such busy lives and it’s easy to forget to take time for yourself. When I was a child I would dream about adulthood being this glorious time full of independence, family, control, if I’m honest it is all those things but they are not as good as they sound. Now I dream ab...

On The Ship

It was a trick. They told me that I had access to this ship after winning that bet, yet here I am, waiting on the docks like a caged animal. A pacing tiger eager to jump aboard with an invalid ticket as I try to find a way around it. I need to get back home and I’m stuck in this filthy waterfront town that smells like fish and death. Maybe I can pretend to be a part of the crew.

The water was lapping at the edge of the boat, rocking it to and fro.

The giddiness and anxiety was just about bubbling over and out of Jeremy. He _hated _boats and swimming and the sea and anything to do with large bodies of water. It made him sick. He mentally yelled at himself for not thinking of a great excuse to skip this “voyaging adventure”.

He jumped up and stood precariously on the rai...
