Short Story

She held on tightly causing him naturally to pull her closer. He protectively held onto her. The sound of stomping alerted Kai of another presence. A light was turned on, and before he was a middle-aged woman who entered the room. She rubbed her eyes a couple of times to adjust to the brightness. She removed her fingers from her eyes revealing bloodshot colour. Her eyes quickly averted toward her daughter, as if Kai was invisible.

Slowly she began to back away toward back door; she pressed her back against the fly screen and wrapped her hand around the door handle. Footsteps made their way toward their door and a fist banged against the wood, the door ricocheting off the fist and wiggling. Her mother then gasped and slowly walked to the door, wrapping her hand around her belly she opened the door and Djinda darted to hide in the kitchen.

“Don’t worry i'll be there if you get too scared,” Kye replied with a knowing smile.

Lennie paced around the room, pounding his fists on any wall he could find. With a sour face, he checked every nook and cranny between the page and the text for something taking on the form of a door. A way to escape.

“We are almost there” whispered Granger, we have been walking for a couple minutes but it felt like an eternity. We stopped at an abandoned warehouse, it was large, had a couple broken windows and had been covered

“You seriously don’t want him to see you. Try going in through the window on your right. The lock should be broken.” I stumble over to the window, prying it open wide enough for both of us to get through. Both of us hit the floor hard, not expecting the floor to be that far down. We creep around the building we were in, Witter directing me

Damian had walked over and pick me up putting me over his shoulder, I was recoiling, but I hadn't the power to yell, I still felt a little faintness. “Do I have to carry you too?" Damian said with an eyebrow up, like he knew what his answer was already. My brother shake his head no and said “I’ll go, you don't have to worry." Out the door we all went, we went through the lobby and downstairs. Everything was silent and clean, different from the room we were just in. The chill air had gone away by now, but I tell you what, it felt even more dangerous than it did before. It was a calm night like it was intended for just Lucas and me. We went pass the entrance door and out to the field of grass, by this period I had stop recoiling. There was a nice breeze in the air, the moon shining down on us like giving us a path to walk.

He stands on the other side of the alley, gazing up at me with his hands in his pockets. “You should be grateful Felix and Thorn didn’t come after you. They would've wondered how you climbed up there,” he begins, calmly.

“Cody! I need you to listen!” He whispered violently. “Go upstairs to the bathroom and lock the door.” His mind was racing and he wasn’t even sure he was giving the right instructions. “Get in the bathtub, close the curtains, and be as quiet as possible.”

Kane and I joined them, and somehow we all ended up in the same place as we always do, laughing so hard that my ears rang with the sound of gurgling and the feeling that if I don’t stop now, I’d collapse

“He had never slept in a better bed, Rainford decided”. General Zaroff fell asleep fast suddenly he heard a big BANG. He went outside to see nothing, all he saw was a dark forest he was in the middle of nowhere and now he is hearing stuff. “what is going on with me” he said. He went back inside and tried to wrap his mind around what just happened. He just couldn’t get it straight, so he decided to go back to sleep this time he woke up to a scream. HELP ME!!!! He jumped up so fast and ran outside but again he didn’t see anything, this time he got his shoe’s and decided to find out what was going on, so he ran out into the dark forest. All he saw was monkeys swinging in the tree’s, but he asked himself “why in the world are monkeys up at

Angela had been a silent observer of the entire exchange. She remained in the same spot as she watched the door close, cutting off her view. That’s when the tugging began, it started in the core of her stomach, pulling her to her feet against her will and leading her through the door.

“Ahh,” Matt screamed as he went to cower behind the couch and cover his head.

“I’m sorry about your loss,” Andrew said. “Let me know when you have her service. I want to pay my respects. Take care, and again, I am sorry, she has been a customer for years. We will miss her. I’ll cancel the refills.” Watching as Joshua left the pharmacy. Andrew recalled the many times Linda Gunderman yelled at him for no reason. Rubbing the back of his neck, Andrew sighed, knowing he had done society a big favor by taking care of Mrs. Gunderman.
