Lure
“Okay Baby let me finish shopping and I’ll be home in about thirty minutes.” “Love you.” “Love you too.” Carlton pulled into the parking lot of his favorite specialty store to pick up some caviar, wine, crackers and cheese for a cocktail party he and his wife were throwing the following evening. He moved briskly through the isles gathering the items he needed while avoiding making impulse buys. He was encountered by an older woman in the wine section.

The Cottage on the Cliff
I shouldn’t be writing this, it’s just so dangerous. I could always burn the pages when I’m done, but I probably won't. My therapist said it would help me to write it all down. If she only knew. I couldn’t tell her the whole truth, for her own protection. She said she understood, but I doubt it. I was asleep for two days, two! My body ached and my mind was confused, but slowly, all of the memories started to come back. At first it was like a trickle of water, then it turned into a flood, and I was drowning. So maybe this will help, or maybe not. At the very least, it is a good story.

The Wall of the Hurricane
The storm raged around us as we hid in the cove, the cliffs offering limited protection. We’d done this routine before. We had it down to an art form.

In June 1912, an unknown maniacal killer also used an axe to kill two adults and six children as they slept.
