A firm knock sounded on the solid wood front door of the pleasantly appointed, if somewhat ordinary, house at the end of the cul de sac. Dana's heart raced as he stood up quickly. The time had come. He could still halt the momentum of events; stay quiet and allow his visitor to depart. Instead, he steeled himself, stepped forward and, without stopping to loo...
Note: I kind of got caught up in the story in the middle, but I promise, there's good stuff at the end that's worth sticking around for. Let me know what you think in the comments... Thanks for reading. ***** Sleeping in a hammock is tricky enough alone, but add a companion and things really get sketchy. Jameson was glad that this particular companion had...
I got a job stacking shelves at the supermarket during the Summer holidays of my second year at College. Judging by my antics and expenditure during my first year I was going to need the cash. I was 20 years old and spending nights filling shelves was hardly my idea of fun but then beggars can't be choosers, can they? Besides which, as I found out towards th...
I hated school. I was literally at the bottom of the social ladder; nobody ever wanted anything to do with me. Being the only child to a single mother didn't help.

The timing of this event aligns with module one, chapter ten, while Kat is in Hawaii with her family. While it is feasible to read any of these independently, this is a carryover story, so reading them in order is beneficial. Discl...

Gothic horror is a difficult theme for me because when I hear of it I'm transported to two loves from long ago; Dark Shadows and E.A. Poe. The former is a somewhat dated afternoon soap opera from the very early 1970s and the latter being one of my favorite authors. I can't do it justice but I felt obligated to try at least. Many thanks again to the Black Ran...
I was back from my lunch break and an hour later I was nearly done with much of the work that had piled on my IN-tray since the previous week. It felt so good when I had much time to myself in my office. It was a good time to be really naughty. My door was locked and my secretary knew not to bother me during such hour unless it was absolutely necessary or i...
