Mystery

The Free Wind
What awakened Oliver’s attention was the rippling of particles in the wind. The west wind that was strengthening. In his current state, the concentration he could achieve was little, but it was enough for him to feel the hand spreading the flowers and to smell a gentle woman’s scent. He gathered his conscience around him and crossed the darkness to be able to grasp the eyes, the oval of the face and the color of the hair. He also picked up the vibrations of the voice.

Wretched Little Worm
Eerie nights like the one Evander James was experiencing were strangely becoming more and more common. A shiver ran the length of his skin as the cooling fall air licked at his flesh with an uptick in the wind. The low waning light of the streetlamp as he walked beneath gave off just enough guidance in the murkiness of the creeping fog.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 17
I took into careful consideration what both of my partners said . Then I replied to the both of them . “ I want to go right through the forest . An unnecessary detour now will only have us traveling through the night . I would say tonight that we find a big tree to camp in at the edge of this forest . If we go another way , we’ll lose time anyways . I say we play it patient and quiet in the tree . We can keep watch to see if anything is going on in the first place , while hiding and staying low-key . Even now let's scout the edge area and make it safe right after we talk . I'd also say we can even use some of those Sweet tree’s sap ( Similar to honey trees of our world ) . We can use the stickiness from the sap to stick leaves all over our bodies . Our very own make - shift camouflage . “

Dreamer - Chapter 49
A familiar song began to play throughout my room as my eyes began too slowly open. My hand came up to mute my phone's alarm before bringing it closer to take a look as I slowly woke myself up.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 16
Luckily the map never got wet. I had it in one of my delivery containers. As I explained before, it is waterproof. I placed the map in one of them because it was the safest place to be in case of danger. I walked and guided with the map as my friends kept watch. After what we'd been through, our group was on guard. Bulls Eye trailed from the back with his bow, piercing the trees and Skys with a sinister intent from his sharp eyes. John led the way as I guided him with the map. He would also shower the landscape and sky with ill intent. I chuckled and thought to myself. I'm starting to love this new team of mine.

Garbage Night
I hate Wednesday nights. It’s garbage night. So, I’ve gotta do what I haven’t wanted to do all week. I’ve gotta open up the garbage can in our kitchen. I also have to stop myself from gagging every time. It always smells like a mix between raw farts and rotting corks of my wife's wine bottles that she swears she's going to turn into an 'art project'.

Ancient Friends & New Ventures
A gentle, chilly breeze drifted between the green leaves of the trees. A shrill wail echoed throughout the woods. Lost and alone, a toddler stumbled through thick undergrowth. Tears streamed down the small girl's pale face as her short white hair and long white dress danced in the wind. Her bright green eyes darted out of sheer terror as she walked and crawled through the forest.

Beatrice's adventure
It was pitch dark. Green bolts of lightning roared down the spine-chilling valley. She was running, running for her life all alone between trees. She didn’t mind diving with her bare feet into the sludgy grass as long as she would still feel safe. She knew something was off the moment she stepped into her house. Someone wanted her as dead as a doornail. Her breathing started to get bulkier and bulkier due to the energy strain she was going through. She tried listening to her jerky exhales to forget whatever was about to happen to her. Then, in a brief, everything went bleary.
