Echoes of Myself
under bed, scary no, with voices in my head terrorising me * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: For the Haunted Echoes challenge. As ever, I took a very personal approach. Nothing scarier, in reality, than my own head.

Even in Dreams. Runner-Up in The Shape of the Thing Challenge.
Despite living so close to an airport, we never stopped and truly appreciated the sight of the different passenger flights soaring into the sky. I remember vividly lying one day beside you, recently, watching the vapour trails as another steel bird left for adventures in faraway places.
