Her hands trembled as she read the note on her windshield: ‘I know your secret.’ Nervously, she scanned the parking lot filled with regular people. Who could possibly know?

Gia crumpled the small note and shoved it into her jean pocket before rushing inside her car. The door slammed shut and she started the engine.

“No one could possibly know,” she muttered to herself. “Seriously, how could they...

No one here could know. Could they? No one could have seen us. We were glamoured when I dragged it in. I swallow, take a deep breath and slide into my car. No one could know. I drive out of the parking lot, scanning the area to see if anyone was looking her way. No one was obvious about it. No one knows. I bite the inside of my lip as I pull out and head home.

I pull into the drive and hurry insi...

She looked around there was nobody there. Nobody knew nobody was hiding was normal in the parking lot.

She ran for the list of people in her brain. They could’ve noticed secret.

She walked out the door went to security and said hello there’s this big thing. Do you know anybody who put it there?

people just didn’t care as she was quite frightened the people would question what his secret was. I w...

Her hands trembled as she read the note on her windshield: 'I know your secret.’ Nervously, she scanned the parking lot filled with regular people. Who could possibly know? She had been so careful. She rubbed the soft spot on the back of her neck abstinent mindedly.

There wasn't anything particularly interesting about the note. It was written on a piece of lined paper that looked like it had bee...

My secret

No one knows

What’s this letter

As the bird crows

It’s my nightmare

My privacy fades

Needing silence

Lost in spades...

My weary eyes roamed the crowd, wondering you it could be. It could be anyone. I lean against my car, looking preoccupied with my phone.

In reality, I was fiddling with my weapon of choice.

I heard as foot steps approached me. Looking up, I spotted a muscular young man walking towards me.

“I see you got my note,” he muttered so only I could hear.

“I am worried you didn’t fully uncover my secret. I...

Torn yellow sheet from a legal pad, its ragged edge fluttered in the breeze. Again and again, Lena read the note’s block letters in red Sharpie. She dropped the bottles of Malbec from the state store. Blood red wine and splintered glass flooded Lena’s sandals. Lena jumped back. Who knows? Lena thought. She scanned the shopping center parking lot. Mothers with strollers, an old man with a walker, a...

It had been so long ago…she didn’t even speak to anyone who once knew any more. The people she did it with had all moved or died, and the person they did it to…well, she was dead, too, of course. Her heart sank to her feet at the thought of it coming out now, so many years later. She had a family now, a child and a husband, who knew nothing of who she was before, of what she did for money. That wa...

After taking a few meditative breaths and remembering her mantras (you are a strong mama bear!), Cheryl maintained her composure. What happened in Guatemala was not provable, and she would be damned if some podunk local was going to try and bring her down.

“Pookie…” She looked down at her adorable Welsh Corgi who had tilted back his head in curiosity. “We have to take care of a situation.”...

She watched busy people going about thier busy lives as if everything was perfectly normal as if the world was not crumbling around her. No one appeared to be paying any special attention to her.
