"If you want something done right you have to do it yourself," Annabelle said snatching the needle out of my hand and storming down the hall towards the still open operating room. Her blond hair swishing behind her as she strode.

Henry stared down the dingy hall, brown water stains slithered from ceiling to the floor, the damp moldy smell choking the the air with its heaviness. He couldn't beli...

I opened my eyes, but I saw nothing, I panicked thinking I was blind, but reaching for my eyes, I felt the blindfold bound around my head. My fingers roamed over the rough canvas fabric feeling for where it joined together. The back of the blindfold I felt the metal lock binding it together. I began to cry knowing that there was no way to get it off, the tears soaking into the fabric.

A crackle ...

The storm rolled in a few hours back, it was the middle of the day, the clouds were dark and heavy with rain it looked closer to midnight. I was stuck coming back from a weekend conference, and looking forward to home, the storm had other ideas. My headlights on high, windshield wipers full blast, and I couldn't see a thing. I thought about pulling over and waiting it out, but how long would that ...

The moonlight shone between the headstones, shadowed crosses decorating the grass shimmering with the evening dew. Delicate glints of light, a grassy sea of stars. Florian walked home through the graveyard enjoying the peace and quiet. He knew that most people found it creepy, but to Florian it was soothing, there were better ways to get home but there was something about the graveyard that drew ...

Looking out the window, Michael stared down at Earth. He revelled in the weightless sensation, but it paled in comparison to being alone. It was the first time in his life, and it was glorious. He let out a loud cheer and stretching out his arms filling up the space around him. He was on his final rotation as they call it back home. To help keep the population in check, when someone gets to 60 yea...

Strolling down 3rd street, lost in my world, humming along to music, getting into my groove,. I was looking up at the sky, taking in deep breaths of the city around me, when this man bumped into me. I stumbled back before I turned to apologize for not watching where I was going, but he didn't stop, he kept walking, as if nothing had even happened. Ignoring me like a leaf had glanced off his shoul...

Samson finally had everything put away, he left the city to escape. He decided to move to a small town in rural Arkansas, he bought a small home, and was planning on settling into a simple life with fewer distractions, and more relaxation. No sooner had Samson sat on the couch and put his feet up, his lips feeling the cold coming off of his Heineken there was a knock at his front door. He stopped ...

Match looked behind him down river, he couldn't see them coming but he knew they were there. If he didn't keep going, they would catch him. In the distance he heard a howl. He had run down the river, hoping the wolves would lose his scent in the water, it didn't work as well as he hoped. He figured they were about a mile and a half off his heels.

His legs were burning, he wanted to stop but ...

Nick took a step back admiring his work. He had been restoring a painting of a very handsome man, circa late 1800s England, and he was almost finished. He had stitched the canvas back together and the only thing left was a few minor touch ups. The artist was a little-known fellow by the name of Basil Hallward who went missing some years after this painting. It was a gorgeous painting, and the subj...
