Linda was freaking out. Full freak out. She was frantic, pacing back and forth between the door to the roof of the building and the edge. The shaking wouldn’t stop, the pitter patter of her heart in her ears. Tears streamed down her face and the familiar lump attacked the back of her throat. She …

In the Mind of the Beast
Strangers. Apathetic people rustled their feet, shuffled their papers to cover up unintended noises. They were a group, a courtroom of nonbelievers who only saw Scarlett as a side show. Court seats creaked every time she tried to shift. Her restraints, her chains, made satisfying rings against the floor. Scarlett hated the idea of leaving …
A Piece of Madness
Wakefulness and sleep. Somewhere in-between. I was unable to move. Or speak. Minutes passed, the pressure, the choking grew every moment but never crossed the threshold that would take away my ability to breathe. This time I had made sure my head was to the side. Easier to spit, easier to not feel like drowning …
I was right!

The Cure for Green Thumb
Clint rummaged through his side bag, shunted the paper and files aside so he could get to his laptop. Waiting in the unbearable light of the hospital hall bugged his eyes, but he mused that staring at his laptop screen for hours never seemed to bring a strain. He grunted in frustration when he opened …
All I Want is A Little Satan
A long time ago I learned to love the world. It took a while. I mean a long, long, long while. And even then, I was...hesitant to fully accept what I felt. I spent centuries studying people. Watching, waiting, studying, and learning the secrets of their emotions and their conception of love. I was born …
The Pangea and the Permian
(Just a reminder this was based on the prompt, Slowly turning into a lizard of any size. I had a ton of fun writing it.) Begin review: The project proceeded beautifully. Full sponsorship was accepted, and the subject was performing top notch in all areas. First day was a bit rough, as with all the …
