Love

The Samhain Chronicles Ch. 12
The warm, heady odor of burning incense tickled Danny's nose when he awoke. He found himself laying in a plain, metal-framed bed that was a hair too short for his tall frame, in a room that was a little smaller than his apartment at the Academy. Large, heavy wooden beams adorned the ceiling, and the walls appeared to be constructed out of stacked stone and mortar. He heard movement to his left and quickly turned his head toward the noise, just in time to see a blurry, dark figure walk past the foot of his bed toward the room's only window. A groan left his throat and he squinted, temporarily blinded as the figure opened the shutters a little wider to let in more light to the darkened space. Upon hearing the sound of his groggy discomfort, the figure turned toward him with a soft gasp. "Oh," a woman's cheery voice exclaimed, "you're awake! I'm glad. How do you feel?"

A Demon Named Frank
Authors Note: This was the first short story I ever wrote, written in a CreepyPasta style and originally posted on the CreepyPasta website. Since writing this story, I have learned a lot and grown as a writer. Subsequently, considered rewriting the story in it’s entirety. But as I started, something about that felt wrong. I’ve decided to leave the story as it is, albeit slightly rudimentary. I hope you enjoy.

William’s POV I walked into work on Friday morning to find father once again sitting in the chair in front of my desk. “Must we always meet this way father?” I asked as I walked over to my desk and sat down. ”apparently we must, are you aware that Chloe is with Mae at this very moment?” I froze then looked over at my father “no, I was not aware of this.” I hoped that my father couldn’t tell the pain that I felt in my chest. “That’s a relief, then. Did you manage to get the mission done that I have given to you?” I unlocked my computer screen and opened a window of notes that I have taken from things that I know about us, “I have found nothing so far, I did find however, that we are not the only kind that are like this.” My father snickered then leaned forward in the chair and clasped his hands together. “How many?” He asked giving me his full attention. “That I’m not sure about.” I replied. He leaned back and sighed, “well….I will give you a week to get the rest of the information. and if I find out you have anything to do with that woman again, I will make sure that you will never see her again.”

Harriet's Hesitation
A mysterious unknown father is all very well, if one is a character in a novel, but there are benefits to a loving husband and in-laws who adore you. Miss Emma Woodhouse had all the advantages in life, and must therefore be forgiven a somewhat rose-coloured view of the world.

One Way Railway Ch. 3
This place sure isn't like any I'd seen before. Everything looks all shiny and clean, from the floors to the ceiling. It makes my eyes hurt a little from the light sparkling off the gleaming red, white and polished silver. The people who ran it must really like working here to keep it so pretty looking. It strikes me as odd that they're aren't more customers in here. This seems to be the only spot in Purgatory that serves food, although just by looking at the sign behind the counter I don't think I've ever had food like this before. Some of those things I ain't too sure are even food at all.

Always Together
Always. Together. Always. Together. Always, together. He fisted his hands in his black hair, staring at the coffee stain on the pale linoleum between his legs.

A DAY TO CHERISH
You look at yourself one more time before you quickly leave. You look good and you feel good, and you remind yourself that that is what matters most. You have no idea how this date will go so what’s the point in being nervous? It might all go to shit actually. You step out of the cab and look around for the sign. Your face scrunches in amusement at the huge cut out of a runny poached egg as the marker for the white brick face restaurant: Poached. They said to meet them outside and for a moment you wonder if you’re early. “Hey, you made it.” You turn towards the voice you’ve heard in a few voice memos. They look good. “Hey.” You say smiling, reminding yourself to be natural. You want then to like you for You.

9 Signs Of A One-sided Relationship
Ever been so in love that it made you lose perspective? You got so carried away that you didn’t even realize if your partner was anywhere near you. It may be difficult to notice these things, but they’re for your own good. You need to know how your partner feels about you and if you’re not going insane for someone who’s simply not that into you. Hard to realize, even harder to accept and exponentially harder to walk away from.
