Spare Change
He keeps his eyes straight like a horse on parade. His footsteps pace awkwardly, his mind calculates every possibility. He clenches his fists and keeps his breathing steady. He reaches for his phone, and raises it to his ear. He fakes conversation. A c...

Oklahoma Nights
The generic country music was playing softly in the background. Some glasses were clanking in the sink , but other than that, the room was silent. “You know, I had a dream last night.” “Yeah? Well?” “I dreamed about gettin...

American Roulette
The final two sat still at the table. The air in the warehouse was warm for an early spring night, but the events they both witnessed made their bodies much colder. Without speaking, they both emptied their capsules into their glasses. The white powder...

I Can Taste Her Blood
The two red lights down the far end of the road are shining like stars. I think of my girlfriend, her laugh and her eyes shining like red lights themselves. I see a white light from inside, maybe a figure. Maybe two. I can’t tell. I think of her ...

C'est la Vie
Our lives are based around hellos and goodbyes. Shallow, quarter second friendships. Moments of peace among the chaos and rippling of this world. The stupid greetings. Hello. Good day. How are you? The short little quips we exchange. Thanks. How was it...

Bloody Silver and God's Own Smile
The rains pour tonight harder than I’ve ever felt, as the murky water beads falling from the skies run down the barrel of our guns. Some men try helplessly to scribble their last words into a book , but the rain had other plans. The rain always h...

Blue Lights and Iron Bars
The white walls are bleeding, screaming. Blue lining and blooming white in every direction. Matching uniforms and smooth locking doors. Delicate dining and rotting corpses. Anarchy contained within a small building meant for royalty. The padded floors ...

One Little Christmas Tree
The streets were dim, the sun having not yet risen. The apartment was as darkened as well, save for one small, rotating Christmas tree in the corner of the room. Not graced with presents nor colorful lights. No star nor ornaments, nor garland, nor bead...

Breathe
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Keep everything normal, and for Gods sake, keep your eyes closed. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. It makes sounds from the corner of the room, you let the air out in a frightened cough. Breathe in....

Fears Abound
I could rebel against the rules. I could start a fire and torch the whole fucking building. But to be honest, I just want to get by. I get the feeling, that up to now I’ve simply been trained. The demonstration of strength, the observation of the...

The List Goes On
My friend invited himself over, to which I could not turn down. He’d been wanting to see me for a while, so I allowed him in. At first, I was nervous. Scared of his every move, scared a nail would stick him, or a glass would cut him. But after an...

Rules
The “rules” weren’t written on paper, nor computer. I found them out on my own over time. The first was sleeping in my bed, and only my bed. I made the mistake of sleeping on the sofa one night, only to awaken to my arm pinned between...

The Baker Homes Apartment Complex
I live in an apartment complex of rules. I moved here two months ago. Apartment number 29. A quiet, quaint complex. A new home, one much needed. I was fresh out of college, and needed a closer place by my job. This complex was ideal. The whole process ...

Fog.
The fog rolled in at 3 PM. The thing appeared at 3:34. Evan went outside to check, all I hear now are screams. The figure is coming out of the fog. Oh god, what does it want? Evan is still out there somewhere. the fog is so thick. we are a little outsi...

You Will Not Find Me
My life was empty until I saw your warm, sleek body walk past me. At first, I didn’t think twice, but as I shot that second glance back, I knew I found the one. I watched you, I followed you, I examined you for weeks. Most of the time, you didn&#...

Unspoken
I did not look, But still did see What was not true And could not be I dared not listen, And yet still did hear Unspoken words That found no ear I could not touch, Yet still I feel Where no wound was It would not heal I spoke no words That could not t...

Don't We All?
I noticed the gathering had stopped, and turned to face me, my grandfather was the last to turn and like the others, had a solemn expression. His arm flickered from stationary to outstretched, pointing towards the front door. My sanity in question, I w...

The Age of Anything
It was around 3am at this point and admittedly I was slightly drunk. I knew in the back of my mind I would have to walk past number 48, and I also “knew” that what I’d experienced was easily explained as some sort of perceptual fuck up. I was get...

Burnt Out
“The one on the end of the road that looks like a retirement home” “No I don’t. What did you want again?” She motions towards the cigarettes. Trying hard not to look embarrassed, I bought my usual cigs and left towards the house. Inside, ever...

Confusion
For the two years I have lived nearby, the house has always had, “please allow for a short while for someone to answer the door” stuck to the front door, stapled neatly on an untarnished piece of white card. A year had past since I first st...

House 48
I have this odd habit of always looking through peoples windows if the curtains are fully drawn. Most people think its impolite or just plain weird. Sometimes I catch the eye of the people inside, and see them pull facial expressions that border on the...

Together, We Wait 'Till Dawn
The veil of night darkens the atmosphere, as if it itself is a living being. The creature engulfs the coast, tip to tip. He begins from the heavens, crashes the grass. Ground zero hath became the coast. Only sign of the sun, a flower patiently awaiting...

Existence
The nights are worse. Instead of average people ignoring me, I have crazed crackheads watching me. Analyzing as if I am some sort of test subject. I don’t know what they want, but they refuse to go away. Then the sounds of the nightlife came into...

Of
One could call me a glitch. A mistake. A fragment of data. But I’m none of those. I don’t know why I am here, but I assure you, I am human. My home is exactly like here, but entirely different. The last thing I remember in my real home was ...

Planes
I have to share my story. Not to scare, not to show what kind of tale I can spin, but because it happened to me, and people need to know. Only that way can they save themselves. I guess I can start by telling you my name. I am Chris Savannah. I donR...
