Motorcycle
It was a Sunday afternoon, West had just come home from college the day before while on spring break. He was enjoying the nice day fixing his motorcycle in his parents’ driveway while his mom was hastily cooking Sunday dinner and his father was out with his gulf buddies celebrating one of their friends 60th birthday. As West was fixing his motorcycle, a little boy about 5 years old walked over from the neighboring house straight up to West and began to speak without hesitation.

Good Words
Fulfillment of my passion used to seem so unachievable that it would make my stomach churn. Ever since I was little, my dreams were always to become a great writer like Stephen King. To create books that people could never stop reading and eventually turn those stories into movies that would reach everybody. The recognition of my work falls to the back burner when it comes to just wanting to fulfill my passion of writing.

Down Where
On the rooftop of her house, Violet was patching a few holes for her father while he was at work. It was a clear, quiet summer afternoon, there was virtually no other noises besides a few chirping birds and a couple dogs barking. As Violet started hammering she heard a faint mumbled whisper, she stopped and rapidly looked around but remembering she was on her roof she brushed it off. Again, she started hammering and then she heard it "....please...look...down...here..". Violet carefully walked to the edge of the roof, kneeled and looked down at her lawn but saw no one. She stood up and looked around her house but there was nobody around. Confused Violet tried to see if any of her neighbors were home however there were no cars or people anywhere in sight. Assuming that she was just hearing things Violet went back to fixing the holes, as she worked across the roof she could hear the mumbled whispers once or twice but she ignored it until she came to a hole right in front of her chimney. As Violet pulled off a roof shingle, she heard it loudly "....please...look...down...here". Violet stunned by the voice, looks at the only other place where there could possibly be someone talking from .... the chimney. As Violet slowly made her way to the chimneys opening, she grabbed both sides with each hand and very cautiously peered over the top. Her eyes searching for any type of movement or sign of life yet she sees nothings, as she begins to move away the voice speaks out once more "....please...look..down...here". Violet snaps her head back to the chimney only this time she immediately locks eyes with an old man. The man was shriveled up in the chimney, he looked as if he was in a hospital gown...covered in dry blood, soot and bird shit. Violet in shock and disbelief stays still and silent as the man weakly lifts his arm up towards her. Shaking uncontrollably, the man says "..reach..out..for..me", unable to wrap her head around the situation entirely that this was in fact reality Violet was frozen. Suddenly a car starts honking obnoxiously as it pulls up and blocks Violets driveway, looking in the direction of the noise she sees a blacked out Tahoe. As she looks to see if she can recognize the car, she aimlessly puts her hand in the chimney reaching for the man. Not feeling anything, Violet looks back down the chimney and the man was no longer there, in fact she can see clear down into the fireplace. Confused more than ever Violet tries to understand what has just happened, she hears two car doors slam as she looks back towards her driveway she sees 2 men walking to her front door...
