Valerie
Another held breath let loose in the breeze. Jasmine filled the air while distant merigolds mingled the senses with the propensity of a child grasping for attention. Their occasional presence, carried in the wind, reminded Valerie of the autumn she had to kill her twin sister.

Pleading Carrot
I dig digging, so digging I did. For a solid four hours. I started to dig at 11:30 am and by 3:00 I had roughly 12 dead carrot stubs uprooted and untangled. The roots looked like dreaded hair, in tight bunched up clumps. These were not your ordinary run of the mill roots. These roots were stronger than a horse and seemed to stretch out forever. I'm talking about in all directions, criss-crossing from the shed to the house and then back to the shed.

Who Lives In Apartment 48
Chapter 4: The Crawlspace and The Cut. It's been a few days since my last entry and for that I apologize. Every minute in this place is slower than normal. What should take an hour feels like it takes a year. I'm not even sure what day it is now.

Rabid Deconstruction
Every time I wake up, somebody dies. But it’s never me. Never me. The last time, this morning — I call the thirty or so instances ‘mornings,’ but my sleep has been anything but regular. The man told me to go. So I went. I didn’t want to. Why did I want to stay?

A Meeting with Death
A Meeting with Death The wind whipped and whirled violently, possessing me like a demon, tossing me back and forth and causing my hair to thrash in every direction. Rain descended in torrents and grabbed at the earth as if daring to steal the soil, leaving only bare, cold stone. In chill waves water pounded against my pale face and seeped into my tattered dress. God truly was releasing his fury tonight. However, this tantrum hardly held any validity in comparison to the mystery I now tracked.

Silenced Genes
While everyone was distracted with the discussion, Skippy decided to creep downstairs and see if he could get Jeffrey to come back. The outside door was wide open. As he peered out, Skip noticed movement not far from the step. He peeked around the door frame as a neighborhood cat ran past him, inside the apartment and right up the stairs. Skippy jumped and leaned back against the wall a moment to compose himself. Heart racing, he realized his plan was a bad one. As he went to close the door and go back upstairs, he heard a scream. A single terrified shriek. It was a child's scream. Before, when it was all chaos, there were so many voices, he couldn't pick one out from the rest. This was different, the sound ran through Norman in a way he never knew fear could feel. It made him sick inside, he could barely stand. He realized he was trembling. Then he heard another noise, barking from up the stairs. Cedric wasn't too happy with the newest house guest. Norman heard Alice screaming, “Skip? Where is Skip? Oh no, oh no no no. Norman! Where are you?”
