The Experiment
KNOCK! I jumped out of my skin, startled by the loud bang. I hadn’t moved in hours and had been so absorbed in my work, that the jolt hurt my neck. After taking a moment to realize where the noise came from, the front door, I got up from my computer desk and went over to peer cautiously out the front window. Nothing. I didn’t see anyone there at all. Whatever crashed into my front door sounded like a loud singular blow. A collision maybe? I opened the door slowly, rather reluctantly, half expecting to find a dead crow lying there at the foot of the doorway, neck twisted and eyes bloody. As my eyes sank down diffidently, I was relieved to find there was no bloody bird. Just a box. A plain, cardboard, square, unmarked box.

Heavy Fish
A curious fish marvels at the world existing just beyond his reflection—a body of water with strange looking heavy fish that appear to drag themselves along the floor. He spends his days studying them—trying to understand through the eyes of a fish. How can we truly understand anything, if we only see it in relation to our own reality and who sees things as they truly are?

The Face of Freddy Findlay
The Cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I could just faintly see it from where I sat at the rickety, old, wooden table of my own summer cottage. I leaned forward, rubbed my eyes to be sure, and lifted the bottle of Jack Daniels to search for an expiry date. I had only had one drink after all. I stood up and walked slowly to the window to get a better look. I couldn’t breathe, my body was frozen; fingers pressed so firmly on the windowsill, my nails hurt. The flickering light shone through the woods and a shiver ran down my spine. Impossible!
