I ripped apart my shirt as i started to run toward the car. I quickly wrapped the shirt over my bleeding torso. A knife ripped at my back as i was running. I tumbled down to the foggy grass. Shouts echoed inside my head and I couldn’t tell if they were real or fake. A hand reached for me and started to pull me up. I reached for the hand and started to stand myself up. It was my dear friend Richard...

_Previously on “The Passenger”…_

_It was possible that he was just headed the same place as me, but I severely doubted it. It was practically off the map, and you need to make a reservation seven months in advance just to get a room._

_And this man, not to judge, didn’t look like he had a reservation._

_But the truck driver didn’t notice this._

_“Aces! This young lady’s going the same place a...

“Just trust what your gut says about me,” he leans forward, his black hair falls into his chocolatey brown eyes. He has her pinned to the bedroom wall with his arms, her wrists bound above her head. He looks at her for a minute before closing the space between them, his lips close on hers, his tongue flicks into her mouth for a split second before breaking for air. “What does it say?” He whispers ...

SLEEPING WELL ON OAK STREET

"Love the new place."

"Thank you. It's nice to finally be moved in." Nancy motioned for Tina to follow her into the living room. They sat, Nancy pouring coffee for them both.

"You look rested," Tina said.

"Yes. Finally. It's been wonderful. You forget how amazing it feels to get consistently good sleep."

"Wish I could say the same."

"You know, there are houses st...

“Michael, I need you to go take inventory down in the basement,” said my lazy dickhead boss.

I hate having to go to the basement at work. It’s dark and musty, and I’m pretty sure there’s a ton of mold down there too. Every time I’m down there, my eyes get all watery, and I sneeze nonstop.

Descending the stairs, I stop at the bottom and flip the light switch. Why the hell would they put the lig...

Tonight is Friday and Marvin was minutes away from his first full weekend off in months. Like any other night he always took the personal elevator up to began at the top floor and gradually work his way down, it was his own way of catching any punk kids pulling pranks on any of the hotel occupants or homeless people trying to sneak and sleep on the floor.

The quiet breeze of the restless night w...

Tyler Sinclair found himself doing laundry at 3 am on Monday. He'd come to the haunting realization that he didn't have clean underwear, and there was no way in hell he was going to work wearing dirty undergarments. Not when he was working with Amber, not when he was this close to getting a date with her. No...he had to be on his A-Game and that meant wearing a fresh pair of underoos to work. ...

“For the love of God stop!” Flor yelled from the bathroom.

Stephen looked up from The Fall Of the House of Usher and scowled. The only thing he hated more than twelve year old girls were loud twelve year old girls. The TV’s volume increased.

Shrouded in a white towels and fragrant steam, Flor swung open the bathroom door. “What in the hell is your problem? We are going to get called by the front d...

Me and my partner walked up to the farm house and Clyde ran into the door trying to mock it down.

He span around in dizziness “I don’t think that was a good idea,” then he fell on his face.

I chuckled but walked towards the door and started jiggling the door handle, “ maybe not Clyde.” I pried the door open “Ah ha,”

Clyde jumped back up, “Em… you sure we should go in there,” he pointed into the ...

Hear something down the hall, grab a weapon, anything can be used as a weapon. Get cameras, lock doors and windows, sleep next to the back door, but first, making sure everyone is okay.

But the number one rule: Never scream.

There’s no point to it anyway, it’s just that so many people do it for no reason. Yes, it can be scary that people or creatures are after you, trying to kill you or take you...
