An icy hand ran its fingers down my spine, summoning goose-pimples and shocking my arm hairs to attention. I’d received no call or note, heard no voice in my head, but I was suddenly certain I was no longer a twin.
I farted and someone laughed. It would be funny if I wasn’t alone in my house at the moment.
Essay Limbo
At 11:59 pm of October 10, she finally hits the submit button for her report, but as she looks at the date she realizes this essay was due on October 10 of last year. Frightened, she blinks, seeing an empty document in her laptop, she begins her essay, again.
cold fury
Blood on the rise. Can’t sleep, won’t apologize.
Just A Thought
I think an agency somewhere should develop a way a person could travel a long distance… while unconscious. It would be great to arrive at the airport, get a shot in the arm, and then wake up in Paris; to me it would seem like an instant, but not so to the handlers responsible for me during the long and tedious trip; and for this reason I would give each of them a fat tip… ahead of time.
If Only Once II
The second time I watched you read this two sentence story, your eyes seemed less focused, and your lips were quivering in anticipation of the ending; and as before, I held my approach because if you are the one who is meant to be mine then I must show some control while you read, again, the middle of this story, praying that the ending has improved. It was then, during this second viewing, that I became certain you would be satisfied with me as you continued to read; a gratified look began to make you smile when you discovered near the end that you and I do indeed come together… full stop!… for all time… and that my love for you has always existed and always will, just as I have idolized you always, just as I love that kooky face you make when you’re frightened… how adorable; so yes, I will wait patiently, again, as I have done before, to catch a glimpse of you and, perhaps, even catch your scent… and again I will hold back my approach, all the while thinking how lovely it will be to finally kiss your shoulder… and brush your hair… and gently caress your lovely and delicate neck… if only the once.

Laying on my bed, I start to wonder. Will I be ok and is there class tomorrow?
N/A
When you get home from a long workday, in search for the couch. Someone has been here, a search of the house.
Boo
There’s a picture of me on my phone sleeping last night. I don’t have a room mate.
Internet
Day 390. Internet still not working.
Tissue
I handed her a tissue to comfort my crying friend. She gave it back covered in scarlet ink
Superman
Sure, he had X-ray vision. But why wasn’t he interested in Lois Lane?
Ladies & Gentlemen
I was pondering of all the books, all the songs, and all the paintings that now were vanished as I looked out the window when got the message. “There it is ladies and gentlemen” said the captain, “the third planet from the Sun.”

Truth Or Dare
The face looked back at her with red, tired eyes as she switched off the light and turned her back to the mirror. “Bloody Mary,” she said, and a chill ran down her spine.
Sister
I was in my bedroom and I heard my sister calling me from the kitchen. My sister lives abroad.
Alzheimer’s
A man in the dark suit held the grief-stricken woman’s elbow as they walked away from the casket. “He never forgot my face, even when he lost is own name,” Nancy said.
That Gnawing Question
The Devil said to God, “Why do you allow me to sow such turmoil and strife, hatred and violence, when you could erase any trace of my existence with the twitch of a finger?” God sighed; “Do not forget in who’s image you are made.”
Quiet And Unassuming
“He was a quiet, sensitive boy… who at his high school senior dance was voted the most likeably student ever.” That’s what his obituary read.
Send Help
My friends and I were terrified to find out that our friend had died mysteriously while staying in an abandoned house near our broken down car from our trip to the cabin. I heard them arguing from the kitchen as I went to get water to calm us down and I assured them that they would be safe as I poured the fine white powder into their drinks.
