Do Not Get Out Of the Car!
One of the most exciting moments of a young adults life is achieving home ownership. I was feeling very proud of myself having purchased a condo on my own. In 2015 I was a single woman that had just renovated a condo in Colorado. I decided to buy in order to escape the rental prices that were skyrocketing from Colorado's booming economy.

My Little Red Notebook
I love my little red notebook. It seems odd, to have received so many amazing things for my fourteenth birthday, but only to care about this one. My uncle Simion, who always has such amazing tales of adventure, though I can never tell if they are true, gave it to me. I want to believe they are true.

The Dead of Night
As I crept down the old, wooden staircase, the groaning and moaning got louder. With each step I took, the smell got worse and worse. I could hardly breathe, the hair on the back of my neck was standing straight up on end, and my heart was racing faster than it ever had before. The anticipation was killing me. I finally reached the bottom of the stairs; it was so dark down there you could not see a hand in front of your face. I coughed and gagged from the horrific stench, “Mrs. Vanelli? Are you down here?” I called out anxiously. There was the sound of feet shuffling across the floor, it sounded like it was getting closer. I shined the flashlight around the basement, “Hello?” I asked nervously. Looking around that dark, creepy, cobweb filled basement, it started to worry me even more on what could possibly be down there.

Smiles
Harry liked to kill people. He tried not to like it. Aside from the moral aspect, which didn’t bother him in the least, he knew that it was not a healthy thing to do. When faced with their own mortality, his victims reacted violently. In their denial and refusal to cooperate, they bit, spit, scratched, fought and vomited. And, since the human body is covered with all kinds of bacteria and can pass on all kinds of diseases, after each incident, Harry bathed with an antibacterial soap and had a manicure. In fact, that was one of the first things people noticed about him... his hands. They said he had the hands of an artist, and that made Harry feel good. He also saw his doctor at least twice a year for a check up.

My Ghostly Experience Part. Two
When I was nine-teen, Charlie and I moved to Chickamauga Ga. Which was really close to the battlefield of Chickamauga, It was so beautiful open fields everywhere. We would often drive through it to go to his dad’s or too go home. Oftentimes we drove through it just to go to the store. If you drove through early in the morning the fog would hover over the field. Something about it always seemed so eerie.

Jealous of the Rain
To say it hated its job would be inaccurate. It was never a matter of love and hate, but rather the inevitability and necessity of the position called for lack of choice. Others have the simple options of "do or do not". For it, there was only "do".

Another Realm
Time Stood Still The day started like any other. I woke up wrapped in my white, silk sheets, listening to the birds wake up the sun for the day. Dragging myself out of bed, I went to the kitchen to start my coffee. The cold grey tile sent a chill up my spine. I shook it off and headed to the bathroom to grab my black, fleece robe. It was so soft and warm on my skin. I always hung it right above the register so that the heat became trapped in it while it waited for me to put it back on. After I brushed my teeth and brushed out my long auburn hair, I went back to the kitchen which was now filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Mm mm I loved that smell. Once I filled up my favorite teal mug, I settled my morning routine by retreating to my mini wrap around porch to watch the sun come up over the mountain range. As I went to sit down, I noticed a very thick, very large, manilla envelope sitting on the chair opposite me.

Down Where
On the rooftop of her house, Violet was patching a few holes for her father while he was at work. It was a clear, quiet summer afternoon, there was virtually no other noises besides a few chirping birds and a couple dogs barking. As Violet started hammering she heard a faint mumbled whisper, she stopped and rapidly looked around but remembering she was on her roof she brushed it off. Again, she started hammering and then she heard it "....please...look...down...here..". Violet carefully walked to the edge of the roof, kneeled and looked down at her lawn but saw no one. She stood up and looked around her house but there was nobody around. Confused Violet tried to see if any of her neighbors were home however there were no cars or people anywhere in sight. Assuming that she was just hearing things Violet went back to fixing the holes, as she worked across the roof she could hear the mumbled whispers once or twice but she ignored it until she came to a hole right in front of her chimney. As Violet pulled off a roof shingle, she heard it loudly "....please...look...down...here". Violet stunned by the voice, looks at the only other place where there could possibly be someone talking from .... the chimney. As Violet slowly made her way to the chimneys opening, she grabbed both sides with each hand and very cautiously peered over the top. Her eyes searching for any type of movement or sign of life yet she sees nothings, as she begins to move away the voice speaks out once more "....please...look..down...here". Violet snaps her head back to the chimney only this time she immediately locks eyes with an old man. The man was shriveled up in the chimney, he looked as if he was in a hospital gown...covered in dry blood, soot and bird shit. Violet in shock and disbelief stays still and silent as the man weakly lifts his arm up towards her. Shaking uncontrollably, the man says "..reach..out..for..me", unable to wrap her head around the situation entirely that this was in fact reality Violet was frozen. Suddenly a car starts honking obnoxiously as it pulls up and blocks Violets driveway, looking in the direction of the noise she sees a blacked out Tahoe. As she looks to see if she can recognize the car, she aimlessly puts her hand in the chimney reaching for the man. Not feeling anything, Violet looks back down the chimney and the man was no longer there, in fact she can see clear down into the fireplace. Confused more than ever Violet tries to understand what has just happened, she hears two car doors slam as she looks back towards her driveway she sees 2 men walking to her front door...
