Henry’s Image The old black man looked down at the courthouse steps. Below him, a crowd of murderous Southern white folk had gathered, hell-bent on stringing Henry up by the neck until he was dead.

Don't Go To Jeremiah Georgia Pt 2
The sounds of early morning surrounded them as Terry and his team got ready to set out. The access road had been half hidden by a fall of limbs and leaves, but it was camouflage. His contact had told him to put the covering back when they were done and so before rolling down the rough dirt road, he and Wayne had put it all back the way they found it. The trees were close to the van, and Terry rolled the window to pull his mirror in before asking Scully to do the same. She had taken the front seat, Wayne sitting in the back with the gear, and he was currently trying to keep it all from sliding around in the back of the bumpy van.

51 Crow Street
Crow Street was Misty's favorite street. It was long and swerved like a snake as you drove along it. There were fields along the sides, while big barns and houses stood beside them. Rolls of hay covered the fields on one side while the other faced the water, laying out imagery so beautiful that people stopped to paint there quite often. At night it looked mesmerizing. There were barely any street lights so that you could see each of the stars above us. They twinkled in the night so bright you could see them over your headlights.

The Strange Tales of Killian Barger: The Little Ghost
The streets thrummed around him as Killian walked past droves of laughing children. The street lights buzzed placidly, and the moon was a full and watchful eye overhead. Around him, superheroes and princesses, ninjas and pop stars, soldiers, and sports players ran willy-nilly. It was the barely controlled chaos that Killian had missed on the other side. He had invited Dom to come out too, but Dom was out at an event with his Granddaughter, and Killian wouldn't have taken that away from him for the world.

Carnival: Listen
“Run! Ruuuuun!” a distant voice called out. Amy ran as fast as she could into a forest. She tripped over a tree root and tumbled down into a small river. She coughed up some of the water. Looking uphill, she saw a figure run the path she was previously on. She got to her feet and carefully went alongside the river until she came upon a small town. She kept hearing a distant voice encouraging her to keep going. She eventually waved down a car. Luckily for her, it was a police car that took her to the hospital.

In the Flesh
Ligiea is a fantom woman, a fantasy; a reanimated spirit, reincarnate to torment the opium-addled Unnamed Narrator with the supernal vision of perfect love. She is exceptional in every way; her voice, "low and musical," her forehead and pallor pale and pretty as porcelain, a nose of aquiline and delicate proportions, the likes of which the Unnamed Narrator has seen "only among the Hebrews." Even her reading and her studies are beyond what one would expect of a woman of the era.
