The bed frame thumped against the cabin wall. The rocking causing it to lift it's right side into the air slightly; swatting down with a thud. Debris rained from the outside, pelting the walls with what sounded like hail. Damp with a light sweat, Katlyn twisted onto her side, jolted from her sleep, it took a moment for her to come to her senses in the hazy d...
Pete Hascomb sat in the waiting room of the Huntington memorial hospital in South Pasadena California. He looked down at his hands, tracing the soft contours of his thin fingers and small knuckles. Every day now, his muscles seemed to shrink. The toes of his left foot had slowly knotted into fragile pink nubs since he became bound to a wheelchair. His fat...
My name is Brett. I'm 28 years old and married. My wife and I live in a nice two-story house in Reno, Nevada. Sounds pretty normal so far, right? Well, it's about to get abnormal.

The door hardly closed behind me when Anja comes down the stairs. "You have an appointment today." "What appointment? There was nothing in my agenda." "It is a last minute thing, kind of." "What is it?" "I will not tell, you will see. Today is a Penance Day." I am annoyed; I had planned to fiddle around on my car as the children are not here today. The...
Dear Mother, I am glad everyone is doing well. There is so much I want to tell you but I honestly don't know how. I told you I met someone. I have. Mom...I am in love in a way I have never been before. He makes me feel treasured and protected and above all else valued. He is a very powerful man but he tries his best not to wield it over me. He is so smart...
