Silent Forest
There's a reason the animals stay quiet here
The forest was once a peaceful place, where the snap of twigs and chirping of birds were the only things to be heard.
But then came the thunderous footsteps and machines that drowned out these natural sounds. The machines with blackened armour rumbled through the forest scaring the critters away. Fires blazed and the forest saw its first glimpse of war.
With the last muffled scream and tanked wiped clean, the critters returned to the forest. Quiet like a mouse the ghosts became as the forest reclaimed its silence.

Sixty-Four Gig
Clutching the heart pendant in her hands that her admirer gave her days before, she closed her eyes and let her mind wander as she sat in the back of the truck with nine others and three more in the cab. Each bump of the road felt like it would send them flying from the truck bed. But they couldn't slow down, time was running out. They had to hurry.

Hush
I was flung back against the wall and the door slammed behind me. I was conscious of a rising dread, one that only increased as I looked around. The room was creepily neat and tidy, but it was not clean. Dark stains, brownish, spattered the cement walls and stone floor. The bed against the wall looked clean enough, and it was surprisingly large and soft. For a room that looked singularly like a cell, the bed was out of place.
