A Darkness —

~ a nightmare ~   I laid on my bed, curled into myself, facing the wall. He walked in.  I heard his boot steps.  Felt the change in the room.  Safety had vanished and wouldn’t reappear until he left. He threw something on my legs, something soft, fuzzy.  I looked down.  It was a pink […]

Silence —

~ an imagined nightmare ~ I felt my body before I ever opened my eyes. I was tired, achy, from long days of work multiple days in a row. I didn’t want to get up, didn’t want to move, didn’t want to rip off my covers and start another long day. But I had to. […]

Distressed —

It started Monday night.  At first it was just a tickle in my throat, nothing new.  I fell asleep with a cough drop under my tongue like I’d done many a time before, believing this would be enough. When I awoke the next morning, I still had a tickle in my throat, but it was […]

There There —

~ a moment of terror ~“There, there. It’ll be over soon.”My father would always say that when I was going through something horrible, something painful. Like when I broke my arm falling from the tree in our back yard. Or when every centimeter of my skin itched from the chicken pox but I couldn’t scratch […]

For Me —

~ a dark thought ~ “I’m not answering your questions. Your questions are juvenile, amateur, rude. No, I will not answer your questions.” “Fine, then can you just tell me why. Why did you do it? Why? And to so many…” “Now, that is a question I will answer. It was… the sounds. “For me, well, I’m a […]

The Hand —

There are toys to be played with, laughter to be sung out, and gift cards to cash in. Therefore today I give you all another story I wrote some years back. Enjoy. The Hand She lay in bed, trying to pretend everything was normal. The radio was on. Her boyfriend was next to her. She […]
