Mystery
The Conduit: Chapter 6
Chapter 6 ‘Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz….’ The alarm in Max’s bedroom sounded. Max woke up, in a stunned state of cold sweat, screaming out as he jumped from his bed. He shook himself as he looked around, expecting to see the mysterious woman he’d been with. His right hand tightly gripped something large and weighted. The muscles in his hand were so shocked, they cramped around the pages of the book, his fingers lodged between pages 275 and 276.

If I could rearrange time, I would take the moment his father caught us dancing in the California sunset, and I'd place it so far into our future, the universe would grow too cold for us to find it, all the burning stars would be long gone. God would find that moment, in the darkness, at closing time, and would wonder how it got there.

Before It Ends. Content Warning.
As soon as my mother left the room, I removed the ring and placed it back in my jewelry box. I even took a photo with my phone as proof, because I was doubting myself after seeing it on my finger. I tried to shake off the nightmares and the ring being on my finger as I went to take a shower. I kept having flashes of the shadow staring into my soul as I lay there unable to move in bed. As the water from the shower cascaded down my face, I tried to block the images from repeating in my head... it didn't help. I went down for breakfast, the vision of the shadow figure standing at my bedside, watching me... it continued to linger through my mind constantly.

The Silk Orchid
Chapter 1: Kessia The pale orchid stood perched on a side table overlooking the beach. Dew drops glinted on its soft, delicate petals, some sliding off and landing gently on the table. The flower appeared to weep, and Kessia admired it with a sad smile, shaking off the momentary thought that the orchid had just shivered. A soft, pink pigment emerged from the center of the flower, giving a light accent to the orchid, and perhaps a happier appearance. Kessia closed her eyes and exhaled a sigh of relief as a gentle breeze lifted the strands of blonde hair that strayed from her ponytail. When she opened them again, she was greeted with swaying palm trees and a beach as white as snow. The crystal water licked the shoreline, caressing each grain of sand with its watery touch. Kessia shifted her gaze back to the orchid, noticing something she hadn’t seen before. A shiny, iridescent green beetle on its back, nestled in between the petals. It lay motionless, its tiny legs rigid and fragile. Kessia’s smile slowly faded, a sadness misting her eyes. She clenched her trembling hand, a small tremor of unease traveling down her spine. What a beautiful place to pass away, she thought, dismissing the feeling.
