I opened my eyes and groaned. Without even looking out of the window, I knew I wasn’t going to be going home today. Rain battered the metal roof of the small camper, and it l

“I’m sorry, sir. You already paid, the wheelchair is yours. No refunds, no returns.”
-
"Want to go to my mom's closet?"
-
Her eyes opened as the alarm clock filled the room with Tom McGraw. She stayed there, snug and warm, and wondered why she was crying. Hesitantly, she touched her face, and felt

"Amy, are you getting up sometime today?" Amy groaned and mumbled into her pillow. Her mother sighed in frustration and yanked the blankets off of her sleeping daughter.
-
"Ship comin' in," the little boy announced, poking his head in the tavern door with a grin.

Jennifer called the number again. Still no answer. "Damn," she swore, slamming down the phone.

Jennifer called the number again. Still no answer. “Damn,” she swore, slamming down the phone. She had told her nephew she would be in town tonight, where in the hell had h

Everyone knows the story of how Rudolph saved Christmas by leading Santa’s sleigh through a terrible blizzard, delivering lonely toys to anxious children in one magical night.

"Here's your flour," Brandi snapped, slamming the plastic cup down on the counter by her father.
-
"Hey Alice, wanna go to a party tonight?"

-
Brandi sat on her bed with the bed rails digging uncomfortably into her backside. She hardly noticed though, so involved in the conversations on the screen of her laptop.
-
"Hey guys, what are you doing for Halloween?" Rosa asked at lunch, her mouth full of food as always.
-
The laptop I am using right now is a Gateway. And for some reason that struck me as funny, perhaps because my Gateway is a gateway into oth

They had laughed and loved the whole day, and she believed she had recaptured his straying heart. But as he made his excuses and walked to his car with a new happiness in his f

She turned off every light in her house, unplugged the phones, turned off the air conditioning, stopped the ceiling fans, and sat in comple

She slipped into the warm waters of the bath tub and sighed. Stretching her legs, she realized just how much she had grown. What happened to the days where she had to lay in th

She stumbled in, the taste of rum still on her lips. Weaving her way down the hall she braced herself against the wall. Why had she had so much to drink?

Finally. She didn't think she'd ever get out of there. That guy, whatever his name was, why did he have to sit next to her? He smelled weird.

The candles had burned down into little wax-dripping sculptures on the table. No wick was left, it had burned completely. Idly, she poked at the waxy creations, hard but just s

He patted the couch next to him. "Come sit down."
-
She saw him standing there, and smiled. He looked adorable, asleep there, his gentle eyes closed and dreaming. Quietly, she crept into the room.
-
When she opened her eyes, she saw Grainger's concerned eyes peering into her own.
-
Once she had the phone in hand, Jenny realized she had absolutely no body to call. Her two dead friends had been all she had, they hadn't needed anyone's friendship but theirs.

"How many of you here like to play sports?"
