Slurp, Slurp
I was riding my bike and didn’t notice the open sewer hole in the ground. I fell in, my bike landed on top of me. The ladder leading back out was broken. I heard a crawling sound behind me. I turned around and saw a giant slug. I turned back around and started to run. The giant slug followed me. No matter how fast I ran, the giant slug slowly caught up. I was out of breath and stopped only for a second to catch it. The giant slug caught up to me and ate me. Slurp slurp.

It’s Following Me
I aimed, I fired. Then I missed. The Buck saw me. It charged. I started running through the woods, screaming like a little child. The Buck persued. The Buck was now hunting me. I jumped into the bushes. The Buck found me and knocked me out of the bushes. I rolled on the ground. It broke most of my ribs. I was in too much pain to move. It charged me again. I passed out. The Buck dragged me back to its home and placed me on a rock, where I now lay on display.

Bargain
Her eyes looked me over as she picked up the purse that I had dropped on the floor. She shared a smile of false care; “Our product line is high end and nothing less than a three-hundred-dollar accessory is available.” She suggested I try an outlet store down the road.

The home was rumored to be cursed and haunted by the tortured spirits of a sad love affair by the locals. The ominous presence that seemed to linger in the mansion's shadowy hallways caused people to shun it.

I’m Watching You
I stood in the tall corn stalks, quietly watching Jenny. I loved watching her, smelling her wafting perfume. She couldn’t see me, but I could see her. I slowed my breathing so she couldn’t hear me. I crouched down to remain hidden until I was ready to ambush. I was grinding my teeth, patiently waiting. My fists clenched, I was almost ready. “Charlie, come out from hiding. Dinners ready,” she shouted. I jumped out and yelled “boo” loudly. “Oh, Charlie, you scared me. You’re such a silly child,” she said. “One day, I’ll really scare you,” I said, smiling deviously.

Bouquet. Top Story - May 2023.
Petals of roses in the form of a missile rushed me and bounced off my chest. Sighs of disappointment from other single women including my friend Meredith who leapt into the air trying to catch this ensemble. Back at the bridesmaid table I rolled my eyes as Meredith’s fiancé, Lou captured the garter.
