The halls were festooned with Halloween decorations. Twist of orange and black crepe paper streamed across the halls and around the classroom doors, As I walked past the gymnasium, I saw that it was all decorated for the dance as well. The basketball hoops were cranked up so they were out of the way and […]

  The table listened silently as I began my tirade upon the three men fearfully staring at me. “Please calm down Marshall…” George vainly replied as my face grew red. “You shut the hell up! Do you have any idea how much precious time, money, and resources I’ve spent on this film?! A-and now you’re […]

  Dr. Tyler gestured to the door and Christie walked back into Eric’s field of vision. “Hi honey, guess what, you’re gonna be mummy’s precious little baby boy soon. I’m gonna take real good care of you sweetums, I promise. We’ll go on the park and get you a little splash pool to play in, […]

I was engulfed in a cloud of music. Everything was together, the drums, the bass, the vocals, the rhythm guitar, and of course, the lead guitar.

  It seemed all too soon the ba-ba was empty. Mama took it away and Brian saw that the others had disappeared. He spotted Rachel across the parachute, now sat in a big baby walker like at Meggy’s house. This one was a bit more basic, just a white walker with mesh seat and a […]

  They ran out to the driveway and pulled Bridget’s sign off the fence. She helped him carry it into the back of the pickup where they put it picture side down. Derek threw the magnetic signs in the woods and hid the gun in the glove box. He shut the door and stood back. […]

    “Oh there’s no need to apologise Peter… you’ve done nothing wrong.” the teacher reassures. Their attention is drawn by a group of girls leaving and waving bye-bye specifically to Peter. He blushes, not knowing what to make of it; teasing or friendly… who can tell? Peter looks at his sister, then his reflection. […]
