The Cycle CH4 : The Burning
Blood. Everything was just blood and noise. I felt disconnected from it all as though this wasn’t happening to me, I was a mere spectator. I felt irritated at all the noise, why couldn’t mother stop her incessant screaming? But where was I? What was happening? And just with that I was pulled right back […]
Hunger
THE MIDDLE She was a lonely little thing. The girl had been staying in the apartment for a while, it seemed as though she had nowhere else to go. Her day was mostly spent pacing back and forth while running her fingers repeatedly through her hair. She was always nervous, always twitchy. It was early […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
CH 1: Home Sweet Hovel
“Oh my god! Isn’t it absolutely perfect? I love the rain!” I hated it. “Seriously Erin, it’s just water.”, I muttered as I squinted and tried not to run over someone. “Whatever. It’s still beautiful.”, she pouted as she twirled her red curls around her pale fingers. “Pam! Stop!”, she yelled suddenly. “What?!”, I yelped […]
Cliffs, Lights, And Ravens
It was a dreary place. “Cold and windy”, he mused, “but it’s just for two weeks and we could use the money.” “Ah, she’s a right beauty ain’t she?”, the old man growled happily, distracting Thomas from his thoughts. “Um…yes I suppose so.”, he replied quietly. The old, dark, and tall tower was the furthest […]
