I should have known better than to go hiking after a snowstorm, but I really wanted to get out of the house. The whole family was assembled there for Christmas, including a few noisy and fussy toddlers, and I just wanted some peace.
I was a widow, having lost my husband and only child in a car accident last year, and I felt that my very presence just brought everyone down.
The problem with a l...
Hello, hello, are you home?
Please, Sir, I’m all alone
Your house looks warm and cozy
While outside I’m frozen and lonely
Looking through the open curtains
Seeing light, I am so certain
I’ll be welcome to come inside
To warm my bones by the fireside
No one answers as I keep knocking
Instead I turn and a car is honking
The driver beckons for me to come
In the car it’s warm as the sun
The owner o...
The wind howled above me as dark storm clouds appeared across the sky.
I slowly trudged through the quickly darkening woods. The trees once bright, and inviting twisted into a phantasmagoria of harrowing creatures waiting to pounce. Their branches, jagged claws, that desperately scratched at me as I kept along my dread-filled march.
As more snow began to fall to the ground my head darted ab...
"Put that phone away! Work will be there when you get back." Keesha grabbed for her phone, but Latrina pulled it back just in time, thumbs flying on the keyboard.
"I'm almost done! One more minute and I will be work free." She leaned away, typing her signature, staying just out of reach.
Keesha narrowed her eyes, probably calculating the distance to snatch for her second attempt.
Ding.

The day of the hike, I was ready and willing and able. Checked the weather, life packs done and ready to go. I was to leave
At 6 am and meeting my partner soon. Off I went with adventures and hikes in my mind. It was a beautiful day and the
Sun was out as far as the eye could see. Little did I know my planned day was about to change.
My cell rang about the time I was about to pair up, and my hik...
My wandering of the ivory forest had left me hopelessly and maddeningly lost within myself, believing that I would never once feel the warmth of my heartbeat now, It be just a beat of survival. And I tranquilized my foreboded fate with memories of nights when the moon looked through my window seat hither and paid me attention with its midnight omnipotent eye. At the same time, I enwrapped myself a...
“It’s weird, talking about this stuff to a stranger.” Frida fidgeted in the oxblood leather chair. Playing with her necklace, she looked out of the big picture window at the marshmallow world. Her eyes flickered around the warm wood interior and down at her mug of tea.
“I guess I’ll start at the beginning. The first sign was my glasses. I kept losing them. I’d thought they were in my purse and the...
Shivering against the cold, I trudge through the glistening snow, surrounded by trees dusted with white frost. My hands shake beneath my coat, aching for the warmth of a fire and a hot drink. I can’t seem to remember which direction I started the hike in, and now the snow has covered my footprints and diminished any hope of getting back. I’m more afraid than I’d like to admit, because I know the w...
I am being chased by a masked person who just robbed a store and I was there and seen the person’s face before he had a chance to put his black mask on. I walked to the front door really quickly and trying not to run. As soon as I walked out I saw him right behind me. I ran to my car and luckily I got in just in time. He ran to his SUV and the chase was on. I wanted to turn left but he’s went out ...
The knock sounded muffled. Avery wasn’t confident if it was because of the hood of her jacket or the snow that caused it. Her face burned from the piercing wind that blew past. The door swings open, and she has to crane her head up to look at the man behind it. He looked young, but his eyes, as blue as silver, told a different story. His hair was ginger and almost as long as hers; he had it pulled...
