Forbidden Love

Holding her hands tight, he went running into the moor. A hail of a thousand bullets whistled above their heads, but he let nothing harm her. Asking her to hide under a tree, he took a few steps forward to make sure she was safe. And a bullet came piercing his heart, a bullet she had aimed.

Free Weekends

The seaplane had been too much. She’d always feared water, having nearly drowned as a girl; now that the craft obstructed her shore view, she left weekends at the lake house to him. Life changed little after Rod and the unknown woman went down in the Skywagon. Still, she occasionally tasted something in her wine that might have been regret.

Secret Admirer

So certain I knew who'd sent the flowers with the anonymous love note, I went and told him apologetically it would never work. He just looked confused, then nodded toward my best friend standing there, as if that should mean something to me. It took some time, but I eventually figured it out. I’m now married to my best friend.

Sent

His phone blinks back to life; he reaches for it like a life raft. Miles away, having hit send, she discards her phone on her bed. His face morphs into a rare smile as he reads and carefully replies. He monitors his phone for a half hour, his smile sliding away, before he realizes that she isn’t going to respond.

Creepy Incident

The silence endowed a fear in me, I quickened my steps. Suddenly, I heard the sound of spooky anklets nearing me, a large ominous shadow following me. A shiver went down my spine yet I turned back, surprised and my pupil expanded.

A cow with anklets was following me.

Child Abuse

She died everyday in a house made of cards. And with every gust of wind the house fell apart, which meant the little girl was always picking up the pieces, even though she too was falling apart. Drowning in a cycle of perfection, she grew tired of fighting the current of the wind; and so the house of cards remained in remains of disaster. The wind, swept her away, and it was that day that she saw, that the house of cards, was never meant to be her home.
