Her breathing was faint, and a thin film of nervous sweat covered her brow as she walked into the room, a cold winding closing the door behind her. Guided by an unseen force, she slipped out of her dress and laid down on the bed. Closing her eyes, she tried to control her breathing, remembering to keep in control of […]

“Remarkable,” Dr. Kaspar said, lifting his pale, greenish-gray eye from the microscope. He rubbed the back of his neck with slender fingers, and at a loss for words, he repeated, “Remarkable.” Behind him, Dr. Gamache nodded. A set of thick glasses bobbed on the bridge of his hawkish nose. Gamache couldn’t remember the last time that Kaspar had difficulty finding […]

It started out as one of the best weekend plans I had ever had. My favourite band was going to be playing in New York, and thanks to a scratch and win lottery ticket, I had decided to go see them while making a weekend out of it. The plan was to hop on the bus, see the concert, then […]

Candy groaned a little as she stared at her reflection in the long decorative mirror in the corner of her room. Hands on her hips she swiveled around on the spot to make sure it wasn’t the angle she was looking from. She sighed heavily, there was no question in her mind, she had put on a little weight over […]

She awoke to the sound of a thick bubbling. She couldn’t help but think of her mother’s potato porridge, which used to bubble on the stove every night. By habit, she tried to breathe the smell in through her nose, but found she couldn’t draw any breath, as something was obstructing her nasal passage. Eyes slammed open as she panicked, […]

Her mind was made up. No one, not even this man, her angelic gift from above, was going to get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart had suffered enough bruises and cuts to last a lifetime and she would be damned before she allowed it to happen again. But a part of her wanted to believe, if only […]

It took some time for Harry to figure out what was really wrong with him. It seemed to come over him in stages, like each new day seemed a bit fuzzier, he just felt that much more, how could he put it? He felt just that much more blah, yeah, he thought, that’s it. It was almost as if he […]

It was nearing midnight, Halloween coming to a close. All the little kiddies were at home sifting through mounds of sweets in preparation of cavity orgies in the days to come. Most adult revelers were still partying or finding spots to nurse their binges. Usually, I’d be home with a tumbler of Johnnie Walker Black in hand, microwave popcorn by […]

A large thunderstorm rushed through the city’s outskirts at a loud and angry pace as a thick fog crept in from the sea. The lights flickered and then dimmed at the Motel Magnolia, where accommodations had lost its bloom. The stale motel smell of past indiscretions of all types lingered in the dimness, as the camera panned to a table. […]

“Wakey wakey sleepy head!” Poppy jumped, bolting upright in bed. She stared around, her down feather covers falling away from her breasts, leaving her skin to glow in the morning sun falling through the window. “Who said that!?” she shouted, stumbling out of bed to grab her robe. She reached into her bedside drawer and grabbed for her gun. “Who […]
