In front of them was what Brian recognised as a parachute. It covered a large section of the floor and their circle of moms and babies was formed around it. Edna had left but another carer who introduced herself as Claire cheerily directed the mothers to each grab a corner of the parachute and […]

  Deborah still struggled to breathe, but the terrorist loosen his grip. It was still tight against her throat, but she could at least gasp for breath. As she did, she inhaled the scent of her accident. “Really?” asked the terrorist. “It just takes being held at gun point to lose bowel control. You are […]

    One wall of the studio is one big mirror in which Peter could see the entire class, dancing away in four long rows. All are dressed identically and he is definitely one of them. Seemingly all of the older girls have their hair tied tightly in a bun. Whereas bunches are common on […]

Rose ran into the utility room and demanded breathlessly, “Theodore, what’s going on here? I didn’t tell you you could run my washer! What are you doing?” She pushed him brusquely out of the way to see what he had been loading in her washer and said, “Theodore! You can’t wash the comforter like this! […]
