Shaky Leg Mary
When I was in college, I worked for a local hospital, one of the largest in the North Georgia area outside of Atlanta. I won't name drop because they probably don't want to be mentioned, but this hospital was huge. I'd worked clerical jobs in a few other hospitals, and you could have easily fit three of my previous facilities in this place. That being said, it was a mismatched monstrosity of old and new. The new Medical Promenade might have been a modern architectural marvel, but areas like the ER and the admin hallway still looked much as they had in nineteen seventy-two. It's a place at war with itself, constantly changing but also continually staying the same.

The Thought of It
The Thought of It It was late one night when the thought first came to my mind. A mind whose body was weak and weary, but growing stronger with this thought. This thought that paid no attention to the others in my mind, and took complete command of any others in my mind. Yes, it was late that fateful night when I had this thought for the very first time; a thought so simple and seemingly inevitable that it was baffling me as to why I hadn’t thought it before. I lay in thine chamber whilst all I heard were noises. ‘Twas the noises of the dark which fueled this thought of mine. Yes, ‘twas the noises of the night, the voices of the night, which fueled this, thought. Indeed, ‘twas the noises of the night, the voices of the night, which fueled this thought, this dark and sinister thought.

Four friends
It was raining that Saturday night; I was spending a great time with some of my friends in a restaurant. It was almost midnight and the restaurant was about to close so we had to leave. We came out, and we called each other good bye and then I walked towards my car. I went inside the car and started the car and started going towards my house. He had a long day and was really tired. The driving distance from here to my house was about an hour.

The Beanie Baby Murders
The green filth had grown over the grate and locked his memory away from this street. Homelessness was punishable by banishment from recognition. The law was enacted to make them forget his existence, but now he had pushed his way through the hidden sewers and stood before the gift shop, a representative of the rejected and abandoned.

The Transforming. Top Story - January 2024.
Everybody was turning, one by one. The masses were scared. The town folk could be seen going into the town's Reverence Hall, clutching their soul spheres in their shaking hands. I followed them in, curious. I ignored the screaming around me, the confusion, as everybody swarmed like hornets being stirred up.

If You Want A Job Done Right
On days that I am particularly stressed, I would drive myself up to our family cabin, overlooking the lake. So many memories, so many plans made there. It’s easy to let it all drain away, sitting, watching, as the sun goes up and down over the water. Like a picture I made up in my mind. It’s been years since I w as back here. Everything still looks the same, pretty quiet now…with everyone gone.
