The rain beat down angrily on the pavement, Joe could feel her heart pounding in her chest as the cab pulled away from the curb, leaving her to stare breathlessly at the looming house in front of her. She couldn’t believe the property lay still un-touched…well, really, she could understand why. The ghosts this placeContinue reading “Un-named Mystère Noire – Chapter 1”

Gone Fishin’
The early morning sun danced on my skin as I took in the serene stage nature had created for me. Earlier this year, when winter still lingered and I had first moved to town, I passed the time by exploring the local parks and rivers near by, scoping out the perfect spot to sunbathe onceContinue reading “Gone Fishin’”
time doesn’t stop
It’s been a year and eight months, almostsomehow it feels like both an eternity and no time at allthe magical shapeshifting nature of time under grief.I still feel like I can text you or DM you or call youunder false pre-tenses, just to hear your voice, to know you’re still therebut you’re somewhere else andContinue reading “time doesn’t stop”
lost in a heatwave
It’s crazy how you can go from not knowing someone at all, barely noticing them in that way, another face in the crowd, to lusting over them 24/7. Okay. Maybe that’s an exaggeration. But not really. At least it doesn’t feel like it. When I first met Theo, sure he was nice and I wasContinue reading “lost in a heatwave”
Cupids Arrow
I sat in front of my full length mirror, putting on my makeup slowly, letting the gentle brush strokes caress my cheeks as I admired my work. Each action was made with intention, a subtle manifestation for a night of pleasure and love ahead. Me and Ahava had told our boyfriends we didn’t care whatContinue reading “Cupids Arrow”
First Encounter
I could write about storms or sunshine, I could regale you with tales of drama and debauchery, or I could lament, but oh how I’ve already lamented (can one ever lament too much though, really?). Surely those aren’t the only options but less I digress into endless list making and distract myself from the taleContinue reading “First Encounter”
dangerous liaisons (the best friend)
There’s a first time for everything, I guess. I never imagined there would be a first time for this though. As I lay in bed, watching the morning light streaming through the haphazard blinds, casting lazy shadows on the hardwood floor, I couldn’t help but flash back to scenes of last night. How could somethingContinue reading “dangerous liaisons (the best friend)”
the heat of may
I had just done something I’ve never done before. Sure I had written stories like that before, I had posted them online, read by my friends and enemies alike, inhibitions truly free, but never before had I written a story specifically for someone. With someone in mind. His essence dripping from word to word, hisContinue reading “the heat of may”
madness under moonlight
Abigail looked out at the sprawling vista before her, the flickering hues of orange and yellow grazing the tree tops and bathing the valleys with golden light, while the first hints of the days crepuscule spilled over, threatening to bathe the very same hills and valleys in darkness. She shuddered as she considered the brevityContinue reading “madness under moonlight”
hallmark, but make it spicy
The air stung her cheeks as she stepped out into the crisp December evening, the traffic dinned in the background as she looked at the screen of her phone, photos grazing her consciousness as she scrolled through her Instagram timeline. Arianna was heading out to her best friends condo for the first time in months,Continue reading “hallmark, but make it spicy”
