Threat to the Immortal Night [Narrated by ******* ******] "I remember when the sun split in two. A brilliant flare signalled doom and commanded us to witness. Shackled by confusion, fear only simmered beneath the point of hysteria, until the shockwaves tipped the lid. Once-blinding incandescence divided and discharged the furies of its atomic core. Violent...
This is one part of a longer crime/romance story that is connected to the other parts. To fully appreciate the story, please start at Part 1 and read through. Thanks. Part 6 Jordan Falls for Raven and They Take a Ride Jordan slept fitfully the rest of the night. She was alert to every noise and awoke every time she heard something. She thought someone el...
I was driving back to the city after visiting some friends. I was listing music and thinking at the football match I was going to watch that night. Suddenly, on the road, I saw a woman hitchhiking. It was late afternoon, but quite hot and she must have been all sweaty waiting for someone to stop. Suddenly, I slowed down, and eventually stopped the car just a...
To say I hated Rebecca is too strong a word. Disliked, avoided, generally snubbed would better alternatives. Rebecca is married to my best friend, Steve, and so we are occasionally forced into each other’s company. Rebecca is an opinionated, feminist member of the lunatic left. Andy, my other best friend, says this is unfair and that the truth is I don’t lik...
Michelle pulled her seat-belt a little tighter, not caring if Nick saw it or not. The man drove like a maniac. She had felt safer being in a car with Sam, even though the man was a pervert and lazy as hell. She felt her stomach tighten as the light in front of them turned yellow and he sped up, going through it just as it turned red. "Is this your way of tr...
June Over the last few weeks, I'd experimented with different running routes and by June, I'd established a favourite. Every morning, I'd run down our road, pass Mr Wilson coming back from the park with his dog, swing around the house on the corner with the bright blue shutters, then through the wrought iron gates that marked the entrance to the park, and a...
I am a 28-year-old male. I'm single and live alone. I work days and usually sit at home at nights and watch movies, and talk online. I do small buying and selling on Ebay for extra cash that I stash away for a rainy day. So most of my time is spent online. I use to be into rock music a lot and have had long hair since I was a teenager. I some how lucked out...
Evelyn thanked all the gods above for the small favor when she saw her father talking with a stranger on the road out front of their family's land. Behind him was a closed wagon, like the kind that traveling salesmen or carnival might use, lacking only in the banners and painted advertisements for miracle cures. It had seen a lot of miles and looked almost a...
I have never done this before. Even now my instinct for self-preservation is urging me: "Take your foot off the brake pedal and put it back onto the accelerator! Don't be a fool! Don't stop! Drive on!" The car comes to a halt 30 yards ahead of her. I watch in the wing mirror as she approaches along the sidewalk, shoulders hunched, arms clasped across her che...
continued... Day 4... 'Chirp' The sound of Marni's phone signaled that she had received a text message, the signal almost lost in the reggae sounds of Margaritaville Radio. We were a few hours south of Denver on I-25 heading towards Raton, New Mexico where we'd hook a left, turning east towards Amarillo, Texas. "SWEET!" Marni shrieked when she read her...
