The Shadow (Ep. 6, Pt. 1)
When I was eleven years old, I went to live with my grandmother. We lived in the house that she called home for thirty-eight years or so along with her many antiques and a few other family members. A time came for the local area to upgrade from its former self to a newer look. The road that ran in front of my grandmother’s house for so many years that once was dirt, became a paved roadway before I was born. So, for as long as I can remember it was a two-lane road that was soon to become four lanes of crazy traffic. She sold her house and property for apparently a decent amount because, in the Spring of 1984, we moved from North Carolina to Tennessee where we could be closer to the family that we did not get to see that often. I felt special because of being in the sixth grade for only around two months, but hey I passed so cool beans.

The Tattoo (Ep. 5, Pt. 2)
After a few pick pockets along the way, Cade saw a tattoo shop on the corner. “Hmm, Doctor Kevin’s Tattoo. Oh yeah,” Cade said, as he walked inside. He saw all kinds of different art work on the walls, and an art book laying on the counter. As Cade flipped through the book, buzzing could be heard coming from the back. The buzzing stopped, and Cade looked up and saw a man wearing a green t-shirt with a frisbee disk on the front, jean shorts, and gloves, come through the strings of red beads that hung up in a small doorway.

Murders at Bear Lake
Chapter 1 The moon was shining bright on this mid-October night. The air was crisp and cool, while a soft wind whistled through the trees with a sound that could send chills up your spine. Everything had a shadow that night. An owl hooted into the night calling for its mate, and small animals scurried through bushes and leaves to find a hiding spot. Crickets had gone silent, because they were not alone; something else was in the woods as well. There was a shadow that stood within the trees. As the moon shone through the trees, something shiny could be seen. It was a knife with a reddish tint to the blade. As it dripped, it left a small puddle of blood around the leaves on the ground. Suddenly, the shadow was gone, and all was calm for the time being.

Sara's Comeback
Sara held onto Johnny as they rounded the curves up in the mountains. The trees were beautiful, and the air smelled fresh and clean. As they rounded a sharp curve, a car came from the opposite direction, and crossed the yellow line into their lane. Johnny tried to swerve out of the way, but there was nowhere to go. Sara screamed, “NOOO!!” as she tried to hang on, as the motorcycle hit the shoulder of the road. The tire bounced up, and Johnny lost control. As the motorcycle went off the road, Sara was thrown off, and she could hear Johnny yell out, “SARA!! right before the motorcycle rolled down the steep hill with a thundering sound of twisting metal, a loud crash, then nothing. Sara tried to move, but the pain was so intense that she blacked out.

Sara's Comeback
Sara Smith was a senior, and the cheerleading captain of her high school squad, the Lady Dragons. As she stood at her locker, the guy of her dreams walked past, nodded his head and smiles. She felt her heart skip a beat and her legs went weak. As she watched Johnny walk away, things around her slowed down to almost a standstill. Everybody moved slow and talked slow. At that time, it was like a dream or something, but she could see and hear Johnny asking her, “Would you like to go out?” and her reply of, “Yes.” Just then, she got bumped kind of hard, and she snapped out of her dream-like trance.

The Well (Ep. 2, Pt. 1)
My sister and I were close, and loved to hang out together. Even though Cassie was a few years older, we liked most of the same things. We rarely felt alone because we knew that we had each other, and of course, our Papa. He was a hard worker and took care of us, especially after our mama had left with someone that she fancied. None of us really understand why she left, but Papa says, “Well, it is what it is, and we will just have to go on.” So, the day came that Papa put us in the truck and then closed the front door to our little city apartment, never to open it again.
