A Short Story : A Story?

After finishing at the hospital the couple picked up the rest of their group for their tour around Washington, planned visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and Arlington National Cemetery. When they arrived at the hotel the couple found Gabby and her son waiting for them in her husband’s room. Since Frank was now the odd man out, he received a single room. Little JJ bounded out to the limo and grabbed his godfather in an all-encompassing hug around his neck, during which Jackson grimaced when JJ pulled and the reaction did not go unnoticed by Jackie. When she started to say something, Jackson waved her off with his good hand because he didn’t want to hurt the kids’ feelings. Once JJ released him Jackson tried to hide his discomfort from

This was the first time Kimberly had ever been in jail. The process was not only completely foreign, but also scary. She was going to be booked and put in a cell with other women to await a bail hearing. Some of whom might be in jail for what she’s accused of doing. During the transfer to the police station she pleaded with the officers in the front seat. She tried to explain, but all they commanded her to do was be quiet and to tell it to the judge. Kimberly knew she was doomed. People were desperate. They wanted a face to put to the serial killer and they had picked hers. She was guilty in their eyes and nothing was going to change it. When she came to that realization, she slumped in her seat. She answered all the questions they asked when

She looks as if she wouldn’t hesitate to kill someone if they even looked at her the wrong way. “We are the Reds and this is how this is going to work. I am going to go down the line and you will tell me what you can contribute to the Reds.” She pauses, unusually deep and grim. “Oh, and we only have one spot open. If you beat out the person before you, you live, if you don’t, you die.”

“I did.” Kelli’s mother walked in between them. “Mike you are a nice young man and you deserve a good woman, not my trifling daughter.” Everyone stood there in shock.” Mama how could you, I’m telling daddy and he’s going to cut you off.”

I saw the tears creep from Mom's face, as she continued to argue with the police outside of this empty, and scary room. Her muffled cries and screams could barely be heard from the two windows that canceled any noises outside. The chair underneath me was uncomfortable, and the table in front of me was cold. I've done something bad, I thought to myself. The door in front of me slowly crept open and a fairly large man with a golden badge stepped in to the room bringing a metal foldable chair with him. He opened the chair and sat directly across from me.

Mrs.Chipley and Sally are at the front door soaking wet the moon was so close I felt like I could touch it. We knocked on the door someone was opening the door.

Mr. King pulled into a parking space directly in front of the CIU building. He turned to look at Quinn in the backseat. “We got a bad one today kiddo.” Quinn cut him off. “I know, I know. We got an attempted murder. Why are people so messed up?” Mr. King thought for a moment. “Well kiddo that is a question that will probably never get an answer. Sorry.” Mr. King chuckled and got out of the car. Noah and Quinn followed him into the CIU. “I don’t want my little sis going in there with a murderer.” Noah stared at Mr. King while they spoke alone in the corner. “She won’t be going in. He won’t even see her. She will behind glass where she can see him but he can’t see her.” Noah sighed of relief. Quinn could read his thoughts and they sounded terrified. She sent him a message with her mind. Calm down Noah, I’m fine. She knew he heard it when he turned to face her and smiled.

My curiosity had pulled me out of my room, into the hallway, and driven me to open the door when I heard the angry shouting. For ten minutes I had stood, unable to look away from the strange, angry women in my mother’s place. She was scary and I

“Well, why you sitting up there disguising your voice? I thought somebody had got that phone. Stop playing so damn much, Mini.”

He closed his mouth, kept his head to the ground and June concentrated on the tiny cracks in his lips. He never bothered with chapstick or vaseline.

There were lots of people, but one person caught Jordan’s eye. He looked to be about in his thirties and was dressed poorly. He also had bruises on his face, which suggested he had been a fight or two. He kept on looking over his shoulder as if he was being watched. Suddenly, the man started running and Jordan realized why. There were three men in suits running after him! The man tripped and fell straight into Jordan, knocking him over. The man got right back up and ran up the stairs, but the three men were right behind him now. They all went out of Jordan’s sight and then Jordan heard a loud bang. It must have been a gunshot. Jordan was about to run up the stairs when he heard a siren and decided to stay and wait for his train. He picked up his bag and saw a flash drive in it. It was not his; he must have picked it up by accident. Jordan got on his train and took out his laptop to see what was on the drive. Jordan plugged in the drive and there was an encryption code. He knew that there must be something special on that drive if it had that

One day in the early spring of 1997 James Jameson was at home eating his favorite cereal reeses puffs while watching spiderman, when all of a sudden the TV cuts to the news and apparently the world is in its early stages of ending. James realized he was home alone and his family had gone out of the town for a little bit, so he decided to set off to find his family. About 3 hours after walking and searching everywhere it starts getting dark and he needed to find shelter. When it was about 9:00pm he stumbled upon an abandoned amusement park and when he eventually found out where he was his anxiety kept raising up little by little.

It was always white when Rose made a jump to a new universe. It was similar to a flash of lightning but caused her whole vision to blank out. Involuntarily she squeezed her eyes shut against the bright light, causing her to see a different white wall. A white wall which brought back painful memories filled with screams of take me back, smudged mascara, and a feeling of hopelessness.

Tom stood at his bedroom window, his eyes fixed on the hypnotic stream of early morning traffic below. Exhaust smoke snaked and vanished in the beams of the street lights, choking the air with its noxious fumes. The sight was strangely comforting, allowing his mind to focus on the everyday monotony of human existence rather than what had occurred only hours before.

The next morning I woke up and snuck into the armory making sure that Dad didn't hear me leave the house and making sure that Olivia didn't hear me in the armory. I grabbed a few things and grabbed a pair of keys and took a car. I took the day to go to the hilltop. I arrived to the hilltop and was let in. The first thing I did was I found Maggie to see how she was. I found Sasha first she was sitting on a porch cutting an apple with a knife.”Sasha Hey.” She looked up to me and smiled and I walked up to her and hugged her. She said shakily “Hey.” We pulled apart and I asked “How is she?” Sasha said she hasn’t come out of the doctors yet. I sat down next to her and started to think ‘I’m going to stay here in Hilltop till Negan’s men come here. I’m going to get into one of their trucks and I’m going after Negan.’ I was snapped out of my thoughts with the door opened I stood up and saw Maggie. She looked at Sasha and smiled then her eyes met mine. “Hey Maggie.” I said sadly and she said “Hey Hayden.” I walked up to her and hugged her “How’s the baby?” She said “I’m fine the baby’s fine too.” Sasha, Maggie and I walked to the main house. We ran into Jesus he looked at me weird and asked “Does Rick know you’re here?” I nodded my head “Yeah Dad knows I’m here I was worried about Maggie so I came to check on her.” I said with a smile. Jesus nodded and gave me a look that said that he wasn’t convinced but we carried on Maggie, Sasha and Jesus did there own thing planing on how to
