The Bell in The Well
The chilly December air bites into the young girl’s raw cheeks as she sprints through the trees of Salem woods. The low-hanging branches snatching painfully at the girl’s fiery red hair, the barbs at the ends scratching her delicate arms and legs. Her dark green eyes are wide with fear as she desperately tries to suck in quick breaths, the townsmen could be heard a few feet from behind. Their dog’s barks and their drunken yells echo among the snatching black trees, it’s as if the wind carries their hateful words to the girl’s ears.

October 13, 1896 The loud cries of labor echoes down the corridors of the stone hospital that stood just on the edge of town. In a sparsely lit room, laid a woman on a barely-there cot.

So, of course, Reed broke and gave into his parent’s demands.

The Execution of Marissa Wilkes
The night was warm, much too warm for a December night, even if she lived in Florida where they were known to be a warm state. She takes a drag from the cigarette that she had been holding between her left index and middle finger. The game was coming to an end, she knew it was, or maybe it was only just beginning.
