So the Story Goes on and on and on and Skewed Right
Part One by JBaz Part TwoPart ThreePart FourPart Five⬇⬇⬇ They’d returned to the interstate after driving through a few red lights on the side streets, and Special Agent Cochran sped to Bentonville, where they quickly switched SUVs. The Ford Expedition they had been forced to choose had much less space than the Suburban, and with its bright red paint, the Ford stood out.

Three Boxes. Content Warning.
Who would have guessed it takes three plastic containers to fit one man's life? You would think you need lots of space, but after you get rid of all those little "whatchamacallits", old clothes, used furniture, and everything collecting dust inside the kitchen cabinets, there is nothing much left to care for. Memories? They're stored in your brain, and you don't have to keep 13 copies of the same photo to remember a kid's sports event you barely paid any attention to when it was happening.

I Hate You, I Hate Myself. Content Warning.
All of you are here today because you care for someone who has abused you at some point in your life. Before we begin, I want to explain why everyone is seated in a circle facing outward. This setup ensures that no one can see each other. Each chair is spaced far enough apart so that even if you turn your head, you won’t be able to get a clear look at the person next to you. The purpose of this arrangement is to keep our focus solely on the situations we’ve experienced, rather than on each other’s identities. In this group, we will not introduce ourselves or share personal details such as our names or where we live. Each of you has been assigned a number from one to five, which is how you will be identified. Additionally, when speaking about the person you care for—the one who has also harmed you—please refer to them only as “they”, rather than using ”he” or “she”. This will help remove identifying factors from our discussions. Before we move on, does anyone have any questions? No? Then let’s continue. We will go around the circle three times. - In the first round, each of you will state one thing your abuser did to you. While they may have harmed you in multiple ways, for this exercise, you should describe just one action in no more than two sentences. This may be the action that impacted you the most. - In the second round, you will explain, again in two sentences, why you have become this person’s caregiver. - In the third round, you will share how caring for them has affected your emotions or how it has helped you grow—also in two sentences. I will begin with an example of how your responses should be structured. After I make my statement, I will say, "Number one", signaling the first person to speak. When person number one finishes, they will say "Number two", and so on until we reach person number five.

So the Story Goes on and on and on
Part One by JBaz Part Two Part Three Part Four ⬇⬇⬇ Carl sat in the third row of the black Suburban with Special Agent Scallon. The children were asleep in the seat in front of them, and Carl could see Jaylene staring moodily out of the passenger window as the other agent, Special Agent Cochran, maneuvered the SUV through the sparse traffic. Now and then, Felix would mew loudly from his cage in the cargo area, and Barker would nose Carl’s neck or shoulder to remind him that he was still back there, Carl supposed.

She Grieves
I am dangerously close to giving up. Desire is gone. Well, except for the things I don't seem to be able to have apparently. Food has lost its appeal, wine has too surprisingly, boredom has taken root, and the fetal position has become my best friend.

Whispers in the Dark
The night was heavy with the silence of forgotten dreams. In the small, sleepy town of Ashbrook, the streets were empty, save for the occasional rustling of leaves that danced along the pavement. The full moon cast its pale glow over the town, bathing the streets in a soft, silvery light. But within the walls of the old St. Mary’s mansion, something far darker stirred.
