"Moooove!"

Jill moved, this way and that, trying to figure out just what the voice wanted. She would just start to think she got it right, when the voice would bellow, “Moooove!” Last night, when it started, she had got it right in three moves, tonight she’d already moved five times and the voice just wasn’t...

Monstrous

The wind’s force decreased; Santa Ana seemed to be preoccupied with watching the antics below him, and for now at least, his arms were still. The revolving glow from the emergency vehicles projected a ghastly glow across his countenance. They could see that there was a lot of activity, but were... Sign in to see full entry.

Monstrous

There was an explosion and she heard more off in the distance; a man out in the street yelled that it sounded like transformers blowing. Utter panic ensued around her, but she just stood there; where do you go in the face of that? She looked up and wondered; did God wake up on the wrong side of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Monstrous

It was utter devastation. The towering Mulberry tree that had been in her front yard was gone; all that was left was a gaping hole, with trenches extending out caused by the roots being ripped out with it. Likewise, her neighbor’s trees –- not one, within her line of sight at least, survived. Her... Sign in to see full entry.

Monstrous

She reached out in the dark, trying to shut the damn alarm off. After several tries, and coming out of a sound sleep, she realized it wasn’t the clock. Squinting, she peered at it; it was only four in the morning! The windows shook; Oh God, he’s back. She heard the familiar whooshing, whistling... Sign in to see full entry.

Migrain Hell

Annette reaches up and grabs any jacket; it would be cold out. Her head was “twinging,” her word for what she felt just before the migraine came a calling. She grabs her purse, rummaging around for her bottle of pills. “Oh God, where are they.” Turning her purse over and spilling the contents on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Migraine Hell

The dog awakens and growls, barring his teeth. Annette pulls her legs back up on the bed, all the while trying to make friends. "Here boy, nice doggy, it's ok boy..." The dog starts barking and half jumps up on the bed and she scrambles back to the other edge and stands up. She keeps repeating "It's... Sign in to see full entry.

Migraine Hell

Annette sits, elbows propped on her desk, one hand absently rubbing her temple, the other shielding her eyes from the bright sunlight streaming through her window. She was counting the dust motes, trying to distract herself from the migraine that was slowly building. It wasn't working so she turned... Sign in to see full entry.

Dick and Jane

“I now pronounce you man and wife.” Father John smiles. Dick and Jane look radiant. “You may kiss the bride.” Raising Jane’s veil, Dick doesn’t think he’s ever been happier in his life. His heart hammering, he kisses Jane. He will remember this moment forever. Holding hands, they turn and face their... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lesson Not Learned

She peers around the corner of the building, gasping for air and grabbing at the pain in her side. She can’t run anymore and is hoping she has time to catch her breath. She’s angry with herself for not calling a cab when she realized how late she had worked, but it’s a good neighborhood, or was... Sign in to see full entry.
