The car came to a screeching halt. Silence. Finally, it dawned on me what just happened.

"Jake."

"Huh?" His hands were still gripping the wheel, knuckles white.

"Jake. This is mom's new car."

"What?" He looked at me.

"This. Is. Mom's. New. Car. And we just smashed it into a building!" He stared at me, horror beginning to come over his face.

"Oh, shit."

That's when we both tried to get...

The crimson lake shone in the moonlight, flowing from the four bodies splayed around it. They stood above them, Their eyes colder and more lifeless than the corpses on the ground.

These were Their friends, and They tried to make it painless. A quick and forceful stab through the heart. The first of them hadn’t resisted for they had no idea of their fate. The others tried, but the drugs in their s...

Best friend?

We met in a dark place full of lights and music and a stage. One act showstoppers we ladies are the stars of the night. You were slinging shots and came up to the table that I was standing by. You fraternizing with the patrons with your flame red hair and piercings, wearing a cop hat on your head.

A tight black choker on your neck, black booty shorts and laced up boots. Your bra was ...

I heard voices, angry voices, downstairs. They woke me up. It was in the dead of night. My parents were fighting again. I pulled my covers over my head covered my ears. I closed my eyes tightly as tears came. I wished I could disappear.

I grabbed my phone to send a text to my best friend Melinda, who lived next door.

“Are you awake? I want to come over.”

I quickly dressed and climbed out the windo...

As the party reached the enemy castle, they looked upon the ramparts to see a formidable fortified fortress. Their mission was to extract the relic and those defending it, had done well to deter treasure hunters. However, this party consisting a fighter, an archer, a thief and a magician sought that relic even they were outnumbered greatly.

They would easily be spotted if they would cross the dam...

There was a hush in the school corridor. Kids were in class or the library for free period. All was calm, and it was a beautiful day. But then…

CRACK!!! Goes the glass in the front door, as it shatters on the tile floor. The ladies in the front office clamor to the window nearby. They have 911 at the ready but are not prepared for what they see. Grey, clammy men and women. Their skin no longer cl...

The hedgehog was in trouble.

He knew because he could see the pixies shadow moving on the grass in the hot sun.

“Note to self,” he muttered as he dashed across the dirt path, “Never steal from pixies.”

“Stop right there, Nigel.”

He curled into a spiky ball, simpering. He knew that terrible voice. Tinkerbell.

Nigel saw her puffy boots land gently in front of him.

“Give us the sugar, or you get ...

It began as a day like any other. Margie was getting the kids ready for school and Dan was getting ready. It didn’t occur to anyone that Margie might want some time to get ready too. Heck, it barely occurred to Margie, since it would mean she’d just have to wake up earlier, and that was simply not an option.

Then all hell broke loose. They heard a large crash, like a large window exploded.

A lar...

Today was perhaps the coldest day of the entire year. Snow fell down heavier than usual, coating every surface in a downy layer that resembled a thick coat of frosting. The air was suffocating, the type of freezing that choked your lungs with each and every breath.

Carmen immediately regretted her decision to go to work today. Though she knew she needed the extra shifts to pay her rent, it felt ...

Suzette almost made it to work. Almost. But almost isn’t actually arriving there on time if at all, and this particular morning she was stressed enough without her car issues. She was so close when the light at Main and Branch turned yellow and she was forced to slam on her brakes.

“Oh no. Oh please God, no.” Not being a person given to asking for help from anyone, not even the Almighty with ...
