Interview
And The Visitors
Police Interviewer:" Hi, Sara, can you tell us what happened?"
Hi, I'm Sara. I'm 5.
Last night, mommy and I snuggled together on the couch in my fuzzy pink blanket, watching re-runs. My daddy left at dark; he drives big trucks.
During commercial, mommy turned off the tv and said, it's time for bed. As we walked down the dark hallway, the back doorbell started ringing, really fast, and someone pounded, hard.
Mommy looked scared, "it's not daddy, she whispered."
She opened the door slowly.... 4 shadows stretched, like fingers - and snatched her.
"Thank you," they said.
Sara giggled.

Freedom From The Illusion
She spun in circles, carefree and happy, contently watching as life passed by. One day, she noticed a small pony passing, bold and adventurous. Unkept. She called out a greeting from her stand. The small pony approached her and asked, "why are you spinning around on this carousel, when you could be roaming, wild and free?" She thought for a moment, and then as unpredictable as the wind, she stepped off of her circling pedestal and into her next adventure.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

Wow, what a story
There is some brilliant psychology behind this piece Kelly. It made me feel nervous, and wary of my surroundings. This is what horror is supposed to do!
I did not see where that was going! Brilliantly done 😁
Oh this is so creepy and well done. There is something about children mixed with dark energy that really frightens me!
Innocence of a child or complicity? Hmmm
What Paul said! Delightfully dark. Well done!
Wow!!! Loved it!!!♥️♥️💕
FFS, Kelli! And you say I'm twisted! Haha. So much to unpack about something so short. Brilliant!
