The First Born
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Her fathers room had the only view of the city from the farmhouse. The rolling, autumn painted hills could be seen for miles. Beyond the hills, the colorful fields ebbed into a dull gray. The cityscape rose like monstrous giants into the sky.

The Tracks of Time
“Time goes faster the more hollow it is. Lives with no meaning go straight past you, like trains that don’t stop at your station.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind.

Refuge. Runner-Up in Campfire Ghost Story Challenge.
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Florence sat atop her rusted bike in the moss-covered yard. Eyes transfixed on the flickering that illuminated the black contrast of the cabin at dusk. Shadows dancing gleefully behind the flame. Keep on the path home, she thought.

Whispers Among the Trees
“There has to be more out there.” Natalie whispered under her breath. Not realizing she said the words aloud. She sat atop the patchwork quilt in the field of wild marigolds. Golden, like the summer sunset before her.

Under the Willow Tree
Can you hear them? The quiet sobs. The screams into the pillow. The begs and pleas. The songs of the tortured soul. I can. They keep me up at night. Terrorizing me. Why won’t they stop? Please just stop.

Summer's Song
The heat was scorching. The walls of the old, tattered barn were sweating from the humidity. Lila watched as the drops ran together forming larger drops. The large drops fell like rain, collectively. But she was unfazed by the heat. Soon he would arrive like a knight in shining armor.

The Girl
I was only thirteen years old the day I died. Tragic, I know. But the truth is, I didn’t feel much of anything. I was laying high on the branches of the old oak tree behind my family home. There was a storm rolling in and I had the best view. A view so mystifying that I never saw the strike coming.

The First Born
Lena watched the fall colors pour in through the window and dance on the paint-chipped walls. The sun was coming up already, but she hadn’t slept at all. How could she? Today was October 1, 2035, her fourteenth birthday and the day they would come for her.

The Outlands
Josh watched as Natalie walked towards the raging storm. Every part of him wanted to run after her and pull her back to safety. Tell her there was another way. There had to be another way. But he knew she was right. The darkness would never stop reaching for her. She would never sleep again. She would never live. So, he let her go. Natalie was his childhood friend and love of his life. Once again, he let her go.
