The Woods
She walked to the curtain and peered at the blackness. She knew something was out there and keeping Tracy but they didn't believe her...

The Alumna
“When all the black cards come, you cannot barter; No, when all your stars are stacked, you cannot win. She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr.

Recover Your Lover
The girl, a woman really, short cropped black hair and eyes like shining onyx, she’s sitting to left of me on the bus. No, not onyx, onyx is all wrong. Her eyes are hematite, magnetic. I think of these words as I try to imagine the sort of poetry I would write for her if she were mine. I know this woman from my university, but we’ve never spoken.

The Uninvited Visitor
It was early morning or late night, depending on your view. She had just turned the corner when she saw her step daughter. She knew she would come for her, such a sick and sadistic soul she was. Murder and death were the scent of her aura, if auras had a scent. A mix of dirty rain and hopelessness.

Beautiful Nightmare Part 4
I really should have known better. But she had been so complacent, finally behaving after nearly 24 hours of torture, so I had let her down from the ceiling hook without bothering to knock her out first, intending to position her for my employer's imminent arrival. No sooner had her feet touched the floor did the bitch sock me right in the throat before bolting out of the bedroom.

Trapped in Bermuda (Experimental Flash Fiction/Vignette)
On that day, a storm was raging outside, the power was out, and we all were sitting inside a very dark room. We could barely see anything, but luckily the lights from our phones saved us.

The Ripper's Knife
I listened to only my own footsteps. It was an oddly quiet night for this street in Whitechapel. It was usually quieter than the main area where a lot of the streets met but still, there was almost nobody out and about.

Decay
I remain ever suspecting of the precise moment of my demise. However, there is very little anticipation that I have yet encountered while in postulation of death. There is no difficulty in placing an exact origin to the unmentionable epochs I attribute to these thoughts; I recall that I began medical school on a Tuesday of November 23, 1999. Ever since my utmost youth had I an avid interest of that of medicine, later culminating in a great desire to learn all that there is of human anatomy. Therefore, it was no bafflement that I excelled at medical school. Nor was it subtle that my instructors regarded my apparent prodigious knowledge with great interest, so much so that it soon came to my attention that my presence was required in the uppermost tier of the medical school where I attended.

The Cabin
The sand stings my eyes, making it hard for me to see the desert around me. It’s been a week since my plane crashed, making the supplies I collected from the crash site scarce. I’ve never had to ration before, and I have learned I am not very good at it. If I knew I would be in this situation I would have brought more supplies with me. I just wanted to have the chance to fly around the world now that I have my pilot’s license. Damn me for not planning ahead.
