Rain slammed against the cabin windows as Drew paced the floor, hands trembling. His phone buzzed. No service.

He glanced at the bedroom door—locked from the outside. His girlfriend, Kara, hadn’t spoken in hours.
“Just let me in!” he pleaded.
No answer.

When he pressed his ear to the door, he heard soft whimpering.

He tried to kick the door down, but it wouldn’t budge. His chest tightened. She was...

Elisa was with her best friend Anna, and they decided to go to the fair together. “Hopefully it doesn’t rain, I heard the weather could get bad,” Elisa assured Anna. “True, but I heard Luke will be there, my boyfriend, so why not risk it?” They both grinned.

They eventually made it there, thousands of little kids, a toddler on a man’s shoulders, licking a lollipop very loudly. A boy chasing anoth...

As the couple walk to the park, the husband stops and cups her face. It’s not a loving look of adoration. Her eyes look funny. It’s shade of greenish yellow. She looks like a creature from Lord of the RIngs, he chuckles to himself.

She’s been drinking a little too much on her vacation apparently. He gives her a stern warning to lay off the sake and Kirin beer for a while so her liver can re...

“Sarah”

The grocery bag dropped.

“….Terence?” She froze. Her hands were balled into fists, knuckles white. There stood a soldier, dressed neatly in the pink and greens; an army dress uniform. A ghost from the army.

He stepped forward, “I….”

“Stop,” she said firmly. He halted hesitantly.

Fighting back her tears. “They told me you were dead,” Her voice shaking. “We refused to believe it, but ...

I wish I had never spoke to her. When she asked me, “Is there anyone you like?” I should’ve ignored her, yet like the fool I was responding with, “Yeah, I do. Actually it’s someone you know very well.” I never meant for her to think I had every liked her, yet a simple misunderstanding led to something so nauseating to think of. She became obsessed, maddened with the idea that I “liked” her. She be...

So you think I can't do it? Sorry, I said you CAN do it. Too late… the lights went out and everything became silent. "Shit, he thought"…...

She looks at me.

“What the hell is wrong with you?! You cheated on me?!” Her voice in awe.

“I wasn’t cheating! You don’t know what happened!” I shout. The resturant stares at us as if we are aliens.

“So what do you call it then?” She pesters. I scoot in my chair, leaning in.

“Ally is just a friend, I didn’t kiss her or anything.” Hannah side parts from my statment.

“I can’t believe you. You th...

The call ended abruptly, and Farrah stood frozen in the porch, staring at her phone in disbelief. Her fingers trembled as she replayed the words her mother had just said in her mind. “Let’s not do this, okay? I didn’t desire to bring up regards to Danny. I just thought we could have some peace and quiet for once.”

Her bloodshot eyes burned as she fought back the tears threatening to spill. The wo...
