3 Books That Make You Think… Just Why?
If there’s a hero, then so must there be a villain. Seems like a perfect cosmic law and funnily enough it’s applicable on books too. Let’s change it up, shall we? So, if there’s a good book, then so must there be a bad book. And by God do I have wondrous pieces of absolute […]
CH 7: Conclusions and Cremations
The roof was a damp, messy thing. No better than the rest of the apartment building itself. “Down. D. O. W. N! How hard of an instruction is that to follow?!” I growled, shaking my flashlight for emphasis. “We were supposed to get down the fire escape and leave!” “Pam calm down. You’re going to […]
3 Books That Sing
I blame my friend for this article. I am not one for writing much about book recommendations, mostly because I feel everyone’s taste varies and I worry about people squinting at my sophisticated – hides cringey romance novels – bookshelf in despair. I am a picky reader. My friend will throw book recommendation after book […]
Unbound and Unclaimed
A tale that transcends time . . . She danced Upon the sunny dunes, Twirled beneath the shady trees. Her hair blew behind her, A stormy cloud. I watched enchanted, The beats of the daf Matched the beats of my heart. Her arms moved gracefully, Fingers tracing a passionate story only few could read. The […]
CH 6: Madness
We stood there, our mouths agape, staring at the macabre scene before us. A chill settled over my bones even as my heart started beating faster. The hunt had begun, and we were already losing. A choked cough startled me out of my panic, and I turned around. Wallace was shaking as he clung to […]
Violet Desires
Your needs painted upon my soul . . . I met you ages ago, An eternity perhaps. Maybe I always knew you, A loving secret, Kept under wraps. I met you when time ceased to exist, When worlds collapsed. Breathless, I reached out to you, The world glowed in embers. We watched captivated, Entranced. […]
CH 5: No shoes, No lights, No service
A little excitement is good for the soul they say but if I got any more excitement, I’ll probably not make it to next week. Erin thought all of this was positively amazing, “Oh my gosh Pam! It’s just like that movie we saw last week!” “No Erin. Everyone died in that movie. Horribly!” I […]
CH 4: Drama, Trauma, and Angry Mama’s
The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and my car was covered in cat guts. Not the best way to end the day. Nelly and Erin had offered to help clean the car, but I waved them off knowing that they would make things infinitely worse. Also, I still wasn’t sure that it wasn’t sweet, […]
CH 3: Cats, Cars, Oh My!
It was almost time for my shift at the convenience store and I was already feeling exhausted. “Nelly” and Erin were apparently in some weird grandma – granddaughter relationship and had driven me crazy throughout the day, what with their gossiping and giggling. If all this led to me getting my throat slit and having […]
CH 2: Nervous Nelly
I sighed falling back on the couch exhausted. Settling in was hard work. Even though we had meagre belongings, it still took time. I kicked my legs back up on the couch and stared at the stained ceiling as Erin tried in vain to clean up the carpet. Pigs would tap dance before that happened, […]
