I suddenly awoke. It was three in the morning. It seemed like the whole world was sleeping but me. The silence‚ sinister. I felt the weight of the darkness pushing on me. My mind darted from one nightmare scenario to the next‚ the fear of the unknown overwhelmed me and I was paranoid about vicious intrusions. My bedroom door was wide open.

An hour passed. While trotting along‚ she crosses some worn and rusty train tracks. Weeds and grasses were sprouting between the spaces. It was obvious people weren’t using them anymore. Faustina didn’t even know they had trains running through this area. The railroads are on her map but her house is not. "Why isn’t my own house marked on my map?" Faustina says‚ confused and frustrated. She can vaguely remember the location of her house‚ but having it on her map would be much more useful. She needed

I turned and started dragging him to the tent‚ digging my feet into the ground. A lioness’s strength poured through me. Adrenaline surged through my blood‚ giving me the power I needed to carry a 180 pound man (with gear on). I reached the tent‚ a mere 20 or so feet away. I bent down and lifted him slowly onto a low table‚ about two feet off

The scream is cut off when a meaty hand covers my mouth. No longer wearing shades‚ I can now see Paul’s face smiling a devil’s grin at me. One of his eye sockets is a horrible‚ gaping hole. I focus on the other one and instantly regret it when I see the malice there. “How are you‚ my little siren?” His laugh is low and malicious as I start to struggle in his grasp. “Thought you were going to get away that easy? Well‚ you thought wrong. Now that the compound has moved to police headquarters‚ there

There would be no one to go fishing with on Sunday afternoons‚ no one to help me with my school work—not anymore‚ because he was leaving. Mother told us he would be okay and reassured us every night when we prayed together that he would come back. She said that when the train went whistling by next spring‚ he would be back in our arms‚ safe from all the chaos‚ away from the guns and bombs. We would be able to go fishing
