I feel dizzy. I clutch my hands to my head, grimacing, blinking hard. The pain is shallow but nauseating. I see blurs of black, of white, of green, of moonlight spilling through the window. Nothing is clear; the room is spinning. The room. I focus on my surroundings, now, on making something out. I frown, blinking away the fog. Nothing […]

Cemetery Hill Dorm lived up to its name. Located at the top of the north tower, its windows offered melancholy views of a dilapidated chapel surrounded by acres of moldy gravestones and mist. The dorm rooms were dull gray stone with exposed beams. The senior wardens didn’t allow personal touches. They had their reasons, and we mostly respected them. The […]

There was a chorus of gasps and cries at the sudden jumpscare from the various people watching the movie, and someone jumped so bad that a rain of popcorn scattered across their heads, littering the old couch and dirty floor with debris. A few giggles bubbled up through the group, followed by a shushing sound that refocused everyone’s attention back […]

At thirty-six and still looking good after the accident Markus decided to go out with his buddies to the local pub for a drink that afternoon. He met up with them and ordered a round of drinks which was brought by an overweight girl. One of his buddies Kyle called her whale. She wasn’t good at hiding being hurt but […]

That’s how it all started. Well, I guess when I think about it, it started several months before that, when early seeds were sown that would in many ways, lead to what happened that night.

It all came so suddenly. The touch of fingers on her body that woke her from her dreams, the blindfold, the gag, her futile attempts at struggling, and the realization that there must have been several men restraining her. In a few quick heartbeats it was all over. She was hogtied, carried from her home, and bundled into a vehicle. […]

Psyche wore a black peasant dress that fell just above her knees and threw on a black cloak to hide her face to conceal her identity. As she expertly climbed the castle walls to leave, she made sure to keep quiet as to not awaken any of the guards. If they were to find her escaping, she would be chained […]

Eve tried to peer out from her blindfold but it was of no use as all she could tell was that she was in some type of a wooded box that had a few holes drilled into it allowing her to breath. As her tear’s rolled down her cheeks she remembered how she foolishly ran away from home to make […]

Isaac shifted uncomfortably in the saddle as he waited patiently at the city gates. The Milonese state was known for being wary of outsiders, so the extended wait wasn’t a surprise. What did surprise him was the instructions to travel without a retinue. It was an attempt at a power play, but one which he was perfectly happy to play […]
