Safe (full story)
Blood. Rivers of life flowed from deep slashes on her stomach, arm, and leg merged with the snow turning it crimson as the ice froze it in place. A breeze laden with ice and petrol attacked her senses, and face. Her eyes flickered as light bounced over her body, face and around the ground. Voices spoke, the sounds were distant, muffled. Another light passed over her face then a pair of abrasive hands tenderly opened her torn blouse and removed it as another pair of cold, callous hands applied bandages.

The Great Halloween Dissapearance
It was the night before Halloween, also known as mschief night. Many children were running the streets causeing chaos, and flinging toilet paper all over the houses of people that lived on MullBerry Lane. But one house stood out in particular. 666 MullBerry Lane is the house that has had multiple dissappearances over many years. Each time the children would throw toilet paper at this strange house, and walk down the street, they would notice on their return back up the street that this spooky house now has not one bit of toilet paper on it. Where could it have gone they were wondering, when out of nowhere the front door of the house burst open and out came old man Withersnapper. He screamed at the kids "Keep your toilet paper away from my house or you will be met with 1000 ghosts and ghouls." Oh how right he was. The children only took this as a simple threat, as they thought that he could not summon ghosts and ghouls at his own will and boy were they wrong.

Dark Energy: The Mortal Fracture
CHAPTER TWELVE: THE TAKEOVER Nanoq’s Residence – Barrow, Alaska - 2011 The home was dark and still. Fish and Game agent Carl Nanoq, the assumed nemesis of Sade, approached his front door exhausted from a long day of navigating the frozen northern territory. He had been on duty since early the day before and he anticipated a joyful reunion with his warm bed. As he took each step towards his door, he became more suspicious because his dogs were not barking to herald him home. This unusual silence brought Nanoq to stillness with one last crunch of snow beneath the heavy soles of his boots. He held his breath waiting to pick up a sound that would explain the mystery that resided in his home, or that would somehow justify the silence, but no sounds fell on his ears.

Voodoo Dues
Lian was outside when I pulled up in front of the bar, he was studying one of the chalk symbols that appeared on the front walk every morning. He was also talking to himself. I stifled a smile as the one sided conversation seemed to become more heated. He gestured wildly, as he vented to the poor, defenseless sidewalk. Throwing up his hands, he turned and stalked back to the bar, his long-legged stride eating up the distance to the door before I could get out of the car.

Prologue In its day in the early1950s, the Hotel Virginia was considered a pretty nice place to stay. Budget rooms, but with a beautiful lobby located in the heart of the busy Meadow Woods Lane, offered its patrons convenient access to all the wonders of the big city. Unfortunately, throughout the years, odd coincidences and unruly guests seemed to rule the day at the Hotel Virginia.

Halloween in a Graveyard
I didn't understand why he would want to take me there. At the time I thought it was a little weird; "But it will be fun!" is what he said. Yes I myself am always up for some Halloween fun...but spending the night in a graveyard, well I thought that was taking things a bit too far.

Final Statement
I was abandoned as a baby. Left in a dumpster by a terrified girl who was too young to have given birth. She didn’t realize a security guard saw her hanging around the dumpster, watched as she drove away in her beat-up Station Wagon, and took note of her license plate number. He investigated the dumpster, but she had hidden me beneath some cardboard boxes, so he missed me. It wasn’t until the next day, when an employee opening the store behind which the dumpster sat heard my wails, that I was discovered.

Baby Bottle
He awoke reluctantly, his body screaming at him to lie back and sleep again, but it was ‘his turn’ and to ignore that would mean a scowl and a kick from a cold foot and possibly some choice words. Standing in a daze he set off as if on autopilot, muscle memory taking over whilst brain and cohesive thought caught up with the rest of him.
