Death from Above
It’s a lovely day for a walk. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping, wait. Those are not normal birds. Their wing span is immense. They have long sharp beaks, and they are circling above me. The large maple trees adorning each side of the street give me little protection from these foreign creatures…

Indifference for Death
When death appears it is almost never welcome. A bone dry face smirking just behind you, or sometimes right to your face. It can infect you with ideas that seem to offer peace. This is not at all true. Untimely death is an atomic bomb. A pin unceremoniously pulled from a grenade in a moment…

Red Riding Hood

THE NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE
In my deepest darkest nightmares there is a place simply called THE BOG. A place where demons stalk me relentlessly. I rest for a brief moment on my haunches to catch my breath, but I know, somewhere in this godless place lies red eyes spying at me through the dark. Somewhere in the brush something…

NEW BEGINNINGS
Shinny crystal chandelier and the deep black nothingness of a new home. A giant place filled with echoing walls and layers of dust. Priscilla the cat screeches somewhere in the dark. My name is Juniper Williams and I am nine years old today. My family and I moved to this dreary place for what…
