No Witnesses. Runner-Up in 500 Word Shockwave Challenge.
No witnesses. That was the key. It’s tough enough to get away with murdering someone you know. But killing someone you’re married to is guaranteed to put you in the frame - especially if an unaccounted-for witness sees the killing.

Lake of Blood: A Warrior’s Final Reckoning
The world above had long since forgotten the deep, uncharted caverns that lay beneath. A place where light dared not tread, and where the echoes of the past whispered like ghosts among the jagged stones. It was a realm where no living soul ventured, for fear of what might emerge from the shadows. Yet, in the darkest reaches of the earth, a figure stirred.

Where Promises Wait
Mira sat on the same weathered bench under the orange tree in the town square at precisely 4:30 PM every day. She melted into the rhythm of the place, part mystery, part scenery, wrapped in a fraying gray shawl and her cane resting next to her like an old friend.

The Doll Maker's Curse
Any collector or treasure hunter will find something about estate sales to pique their interest. They had always captivated me; the antique trinkets, faded books, and dusty furniture loaded with lost stories drew me. Nothing, though, could have prepared me for the day I came and found an apparently harmless vintage doll that would transform my house.

Blood and Tobacco. Content Warning.
I never liked Dana’s boyfriend. For one, I first met him after returning from abroad only to see my friend being held by him like a boa constrictor, and he was older, much older. The man was at least twenty nine and she was only eighteen. She had technically been an adult for a good ten months by now but still too young to be dating a man a decade older than her. What made it worse was when I found out they had been dating two months before her birthday. This man was hanging out with a kid and thought it was okay?! I tried to tell her that he was bad but she brushed me off, explaining he had always been a gentleman. When she told me his name I quickly forgot it! All I needed to know was he was a pervert and a predator. I only ever referred to him as her “boyfriend” or “that guy” or “that weirdo,” much to Dana’s annoyance.
