Trying to hide my tears, I mumbled, “I’m just stressed mom.” “I thought Lola was going to help you pack? Where is she?” mom said with that look that moms do when they think you’re up to something no good. I lied, “She couldn’t come today, she was busy watching her siblings.” “Oh, that’s not what her mom said.” She gave me a disappointed look. “YOU TALKED TO HER MOM?” “Yes, why didn’t you tell me that you guys haven’t been on good terms?

She slumped against the door. “I’m sorry, Sherry, but I don’t.” He remembered seeing a 24-hour Walmart up the highway and drove there. “Paul, I’m so tired of living like this.” “I hear you. I do.” He pulled into the Wal-mart’s massive lot and parked in a far corner. “Stay put until I come back.” “How long will you be?” “Not long.” He climbed out and shut the door quietly. Ten minutes later he pulled up in a red Honda Civic. He rolled down the window. “Come on.” She walked to the car and climbed

A chuckle escaped her parted lips when she heard what Octavia had asked her. She licked her lips, pushed down on the bottom and began to speak. “It took some time for me to figure out what need to be done to get back down here, to the ground.” She paused, pulling the radio from her lips.

The Arizona state graduate looked up from the gas pump. He looked up at the friendly gas station worker who he had just talked to. Kaden waved, so did the worker, and he set off down the lonely highway back home. Kaden had just moved to Durango Colorado with his beautiful wife savannah and was just coming home from the multi-million-dollar industry that he owned just as it started to get dark. Kaden didn’t notice the red pickup truck following him until it was basically touching his bumper. He pulled

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Kaira said, “Hey want to go shopping for some new outfits before you start school tomorrow? As a celebration for you waking up?” I nodded, and she handed me my phone. “They found it not long after you were found on the road, it was unharmed. Thought you might want it back.” “Thanks. Let’s go.” I found a jacket and put it in the pocket of it, before pulling it on. I lived in town, and the mall was a couple blocks from my house, so we decided to walk there. It was

1 Year later. “WHAT?!” Alicia shouts. “Mamade, your card has been declined?” A middle age women politely says to Alicia. “That’s not possible! I demand that you check again!” Alicia barks at her. The middle age woman gives her forced smile and slides the black card again. “Sorry Mam. It seems the account has been close.” Alicia could not believe what she was hearing. She has been using the card for about a year and it was fine. Nervous, she quickly takes out the other cards and orders the lady to

help in working towards solving this crime. Okay. What about Rick?” Lynn looked at Darlene, who held her head down. She adjusted to a comfortable position. The wooden seat was quite hard and her thin behind was feeling the solidity, even after only a short time in the seat. She’d always had problems with her bones, it was why she was on disability. “I’m not familiar with that name,” she finally said. “Interesting,” Akiona said. Darlene and Lynn looked at him.

The eyes of the painting followed me as I passed it. I was chilled to the bone, not daring to face the man frozen in the paint. “Maria,” a hoarse whisper groaned at me “Maria, turn your head to me.” I walked quicker, keeping my eyes straight ahead. Torches lined the halls, bringing the dull oil canvases to life. The halls of Farrador Hold were built like a labyrinth, yet I turned every corner knowing exactly where it would take me. The whisper grew into a voice that sounded like it had been thirsting

his idea in the first place, they were now looking for a scapegoat to save their own hides, bastards thought Jovic. Just as the crowd was almost turning into a mob Signac yelled for everyone to be silent and chastised them for their childish ways. This was quite a surprise to Jovic who had begun retreating slowly to the back of the crowd to make a discreet exit. “How can you all just turn on your now honorary councilman, who in fact has had more contribution to this venture, more than any of

I put on my dress and look in the mirror. Hm I'm not sure I like it, I'll ask the girls. “Guys, should I wear this dress?” Christine says. “Yeah it's so cute!” “You totally should!” Lisa exclaims “Ok I'll wear it.” I say. There's a knock at the door. I guess I'll get it. I walk to the door and open it. Tom and Quincy at the door!
