“I have a doctor’s appointment today,” Anna said. “Can you take the kid’s to school?”

Henry sucked his teeth. “ I would but I have to go on early tomorrow. They can ride the bus, right?”

“Abigail is still getting bullied.”

He rolled his eyes. “She just needs to fit back. If you want her taken then you take her. You have the day off right?”

After an argument that left her too worked up for slee...

„What are you?“, the little girl asks, while fidgeting on her pink dress. I don‘t move. Never have I ever seen such a creature before. It tingles my inner senses. I don‘t know what it is, it‘s damn annoying.

„Nobody good.“, I say with my scratchy voice. Why am I even talking to this girl? Usually I just do my job. They come, I take their souls out of their bodys and that’s it. No talking, it even ...

I’m

I’m asleep

In dream of fog and flowers

Reality slow and steady

Breathing calm but a center

A center is telling be this

To be that

Let you see the truth

The truth is

You’re safe with those who smile

Smile with bottom lip tucked

Real

It’s real

It’s…real..I’m here

I made it

Let those glasses clear with prayer

Happiest moments becomes image likeness

Although I found the cognizance

It's 3 am

I have fallen deep asleep

As they call me whispering

Knowing I’m at peace where my soul is at rest from beneath the trees...

!! RUSHED !!

The rough sounds of leafs crunching beneath my swollen feet is the only thing i can concentrate on. The sounds of whispers growing louder with every passing second. It’s been so long i can’t tell if the whispers are a calling for me to turn back, that i don’t belong here, or if its in my head. Seconds speed by like hours as i observe the trees around me. Thy’re the same trees I’ve se...

Little girl, come here.

Little girl, look near.

Little girl, look at me.

Little girl, I am a ghost, you see.

Little girl, set me free.

Little girl, follow me.

Little girl, please help me.

Little girl, I am your mommy.

Little girl, come through the forest.

Little girl, help me. Please.

Little girl, he has me.

Little girl, save me from him....

Some children have imaginary friends. And while no one can see, hear, or touch mine, I am beginning to think she is far from imaginary.

While I have seen my friend for as long as I can remember, our troubles began in 2nd grade.

Before this I had no friends bar her. I was not lonely but I was sick of parents and peers looking at me with pity whenever I tried to explain my friend, or started talki...

I stand there in the solemn silence.

The thick, damp fog has become my air.

I feel my being, my very sense of existence, peeling away from me.

I am fading, and she is there - watching.

In my conception, she has no face.

All I know is her back, which has become a permanent fixture in my vision.

She is my shadow, yet I am her chains.

I limit her to this plane of existence.

I prevent her fro...

The girl walks down the path, hand in hand with the woman.

“ Are we going to the woods again? Are we going to see the sunflowers? “

the girl asks.

“ Yes. “

The woman replies.

They keep walking, at a steady pace. The girl observes the leaves fluttering down from the trees, announcing the arrival of fall. The woman and the girl both stay quiet, not a sound is heard, except from the rustling o...

A little girl ran as fast as she could, following her mother through the misty woods.

“Mummy?” She called, stopping for a breath. The woman was fast, gliding across the ground, the mist parting in advance.

“Yes, my dear?” Her mother stopped moving, the mist curling around the hem of her skirt, yet she didn’t turn around

“Where are you going?” Her voice was innocent.

So innocent the woman i...
