He couldn't breathe as pain and panic engulfed his entire being. His throat seemed to close in on itself. It was dry, and he began choking. Thoughts swirled in his brain as the terror took hold, and he curled up onto the bed. He lay there alone as he drifted off into sleep.
New House
January 17, 2011 It was a sunny spring afternoon. I had recently come into possession of a house in the woods on the outskirts of town. It wasn't too far from my current living situation, so it was easy to go find. I made my way over in my '89 RS Camaro with the T-tops…
A Loud Click
I woke up in a dark room with the warm glow of the television on my face. "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" the man on the television asked. Of course not. I'm single, and I live alone. I get off the couch and turn the knob on the television with…
Modern Vampyre – Prologue

Christos Somewhere in New England, 178X As the rain beat down upon the roof of a horse stable with torrential might, two…

The Geek Fourteen-year-old Patrick ran through the woods as fast as he could, fearing the repercussions should he stop. Dry leaves crunched under his heavy, yet nimble steps as he hurried along.

Letters from Unsung Heroes: The Train – Franklin Millsborrow
Dearest Agatha, I've had a most dreadful experience. As I'm sure you are aware by my lack of arrival, the train has failed. I have been trapped with the rest of the passengers for two seemingly whole days, though I cannot be sure. I, like most people here, have been sustaining myself on stale doughnuts…
Wonderless
I remember the night well. I was nine years old that late July evening. The circus had come to town and set up a big tent at the county fairgrounds. My whole family decided to go for a fun filled evening of laughs and amazement. It was a very old fashioned kind of circus, nothing…
Letters from Unsung Heroes: The Train – Andrew Herman
Mark, I hope this letter reaches you in haste. We have been trapped aboard this train for two days now and there seems to be no sign of escape. I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm terrified. There is an almost frightening calm amongst everyone on board with the greatest emotional problem seeming…
Letters from Unsung Heroes: The Train – Bruce Thomas
Dear Sam I hope this letter reaches you. I'm trapped aboard a train with many others and I fear for our lives. Considering it's been two days and no one has shown up to help, I believe someone wants us to die. Allow me to recount the events that have transpired since I began my…
