The Agoraphobic. Content Warning.
She went to the window. Close enough. Breathe. She was safe in here. She loved birds. Flitting to feeders. They weren't her feeders; Gary at number 5 topped them up. A sympathetic neighbour. He knew she liked to watch them, entertainment in a dull day.

The Bellringer’s Toll
The church bell’s toll was the first thing I heard when I moved to Ravensreach. It sounded at midnight, loud and clear, though the clock tower—a crumbling relic of stone and ivy—hadn’t been used for decades. The locals brushed it off, offering little more than muttered warnings to “ignore the toll.”

The Peacock and The Squirrel
There were two young boys, around the age of 13, who met each other on a popular Cruise line ship leaving from Alaska, traveling to California. One boy with dark curly hair and deep hazel eyes sat on a poolside chair sipping on a glass of apple juice. His name was Theus. He was wearing khaki pants, and a basic white t-shirt with some basic sneakers. He sat by the pool playing video games on his cell phone trying to figure out if his first Cruise trip was going to be any fun.
