Mirror Fast . Content Warning.
She was beautiful. Unreal. Impossible, but true. The kind of woman strangers stopped to look at. A second. Just a hitch of foot and eye before they swerved away, continued on their way, and forgot that the world contained anything less than mundane. Her skin was taut, porcelain; the shine of serum and lotion locking in place like a fresh coat of wax. Her body was sculpted by the temple of repetition: early mornings, controlled breathing, the click-clack of machine and weights against a gym’s oiled floors. She was curvy where curves were allowed: waist narrow, hips precise, arms chiseled but not bulky, legs long and unthick.

The Sound of Her Still. Winner in The Shape of the Thing Challenge.
The room is silent. Not the quiet of repose. But the quiet of waiting. Photographs are gone from the mantle, just the ghost of dust where frames once sat. Floorboards creak under no foot. The air chills but is not sharp—rather it clings, rich and palpable, like something unseen in the rafters.

Hunted. Content Warning.
The Hunter The hunter had lost the trail. Snow falling, shifting. Tracks erased in shadows, the last smear of daylight closing like a wound. The woods in this part of Wisconsin could swallow a man whole if he didn’t keep his wits. He didn’t mind. The thought of going back to his truck, of driving into town, of people—loud and needy and curious—was worse. He wasn’t a people person. Never had been.
