Out of the Darkness. Content Warning.
In the summer of 1994, I am visiting my grandparents at their home in a small east Texas town. It is unusually warm for June, which means another scorching summer is on its way. My baby is due in a few months so, I want to spend as much time with them as possible before the big day. Later that evening, exhausted, I excuse myself and head off to bed. I am asleep within minutes.

The Dollmaker’s Curse
The Thompsons—Emily, her husband David, and their nine-year-old daughter Clara—moved into their dream house on the edge of town. It was a charming Victorian with creaky floorboards, intricate woodwork, and an attic filled with forgotten relics. They saw it as a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Clara, in particular, was ecstatic about the attic, eager to uncover its secrets.

Fated Memories
I’d parked my Ninja in an alley off Cloverton Road and walked the three blocks over to Milton Avenue, keeping to the shadows as much as I could, hoping no one saw me and recognized me. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived and saw my fated destiny’s rental car parked outside Marsha Cunningham’s house’s separate garage. Knowing the Fates were still working on my side made me feel bolder and more courageous. I was confident that tonight would be the night.

The Obsession
Mr. Calloway had always prided himself on being a professional. As a history teacher, he believed in structure and routine. His classroom was always meticulously organized, and his lesson plans were carefully crafted weeks in advance. He thrived in the predictable rhythm of school life, the steady flow of each day, and the comforting certainty of his small world. But that all changed the moment Eliza walked into his classroom.

The Whispering Walls. Content Warning.
The air draped weighty with the fragrance of rot and clammy earth, a consistent indication of the mysteries the disintegrating stone walls held close. The fantastic estate, when a reference point of plushness, presently remained as a landmark to misfortune, its windows like empty eyes gazing out at the world. They called it Blackwood Estate, a name murmured with a blend of wonderment and fear. For inside its shadowed hallways, demise had turned into a repetitive visitor.

Fated Urgency
I can sense our precious time is running out. The hour of our predestined meeting is upon us, and if I’m not careful, I will miss this golden opportunity that fate has delivered to me. Not even in our first incarnation, was such a moment available to me. Thrice, my destiny has been reincarnated and thrice I will hold her body in its dying throbs during this blessed lifetime. This chance cannot slip through my hands.

"The Stranger at Midnight"
--- In a small, quiet village where people slept early, Samer was awakened by a soft tapping on his window at midnight sharp. His heart pounded as he opened his eyes to see a tall, shadowy figure in a long coat standing outside, motionless.

Fated Target
For two days, I have followed my destiny without discovering much more than the name she goes by in this incarnation, Melody Duskin, and that she’s staying at Marsha Cunningham’s Tudor-style house on Milton Avenue. I do not know how long she will be here. Nor am I aware of why she is here. All I am sure of is that the Fates have delivered me another chance to prove myself in this reincarnation.

my sister's city. Top Story - January 2025.
I don’t tell anybody where I’m from. If they ask, I say I’m from ‘here’, or just outside a major city, or Canada. Nobody asks for details when you say you’re from Canada. I lie because there’s nothing in my hometown but weeds, and the cemetery, and my sister, who paints things that aren’t real and faints a lot. If you saw her paintings, you’d recognize them. She’s famous, my sister. Famous and crazy and fainting.

The Good Nun. Content Warning.
Today was day one at my new school. My family had packed everything we owned in our wagon and just headed west. I didn’t like the idea. They didn’t care.

Fated Watcher
Sitting in a corner booth at Thomasville’s only diner, eating my usual evening dinner of liver and onions while drinking a steaming cup of black coffee, I listen to the conversations around me, trying to catch word about my fated muse, who claimed to be Teri Meekman in this reincarnation. Not far from me, having his customary nightly pecan pie is Police Chief Walters. District Attorney Ricker entered the diner and headed toward Walters’ table, signaling to Susan he wanted a sweet tea. My fortune is ever golden, as my Aunt Meredith always told me, and here is further proof of it. Soon, I will be able to hear more inside details than anyone in town will know, other than law enforcement. Inside, I quiver from the excitement and continue eating as if nothing is happening.
