And then there was one (part seven)

Mark walked forlornly back to his car, not knowing what he was going to do next. Opening the door he slumped into the driver’s seat, dropping his head on the steering wheel. Now, not only had his wife and child vanished, her parents seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth as well. Sitting... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part six)

It only took him another thirty minutes before he turned the car into Jackie’s parent’s road.

And then there was one (part five)

It was a good two hour drive to her parent’s house and after the night he had had it was one drive he could have done without. He was really feeling the effects of the drink, tears and lack of sleep and knew he should have prepared himself much better. He decided to stop off halfway there and get a...

And then there was one (part four)

The rest of the night went by in a blur for Mark. Although he kept dozing he deliberately kept himself awake. There was no way that he wanted to dream like that again.

First thing the next day he was going to see Jackie’s parents, surely if she hadn’t gone there, they would at least have heard from their daughter.

And then there was one (continued)

Sitting down in the living room Mark poured a large glass of whisky and sat down, still clutching the letter and a picture of Jackie that he had taken from the mantelpiece. Taking a large gulp from the glass Mark looked at the picture of his wife through tear filled eyes. He hadn’t got any idea why... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one

He was feeling at the lowest point in his life. He felt so low that he sometimes wondered what the point of carrying on with his life was. How was he supposed to know that his whole world was going to come crashing down around his ears, like a tower block that was being demolished having outlived... Sign in to see full entry.

The end ?

There seemed to be only one way out of this mess. Picking up the bottle in front of him he took another massive gulp. He didn’t really like the taste but it did its job, he always managed to get drunk and fall asleep after a bottle of the stuff. He hated the way his life had spiraled out of control....

The desperate drive

It had been coming for a long time. He knew it had, but still he wasn’t ready for it when it did. He had been planning for this minute for months. Ever since the day the news had broke. He had lost track of the number of times he had planned his route. He had driven it once a week as well, leaving... Sign in to see full entry.

The Room Beyond

He was scared. It wasn’t the first time he had been scared, but this was the worse he had ever been. All around him he could see big people. And the big people kept looking at him.
