Jackson gripped his sink for dear life. Its cool porcelain centered him and allowed the world to stop spinning, if only for a moment. The previous night's liquor weighed heavily on his belly and kept threatening to come back up. He gazed at the sickly pale figure in the mirror behind his sink. "You've got … Continue reading The eyes that stare back.

Acid – Part Two: Daybreak
<- Part one. Gwynn nervously looked around a circular room. Through the bars of her cell she could see three guards sitting at a table merrily drinking and playing cards.

Friday Fictioneers First Attempt
“He killed a man over a sandwich?” Colin asked disgusted at the scene before him. “Weird isn’t it?” Mark said. “The man asked for no pickle and it had pickle.

Inspiring bloggers tag
One of the blogs I follow recently put up a challenge to tag the bloggers who inspire them so I thought I'd join the fun. First I want to thank Blogosphere for thinking about me in her post.

Acid – Part One: Ancestor
A fire raged against a stormy sky. The air filled with the smell of brimstone, melted flesh, and an odious acidic odor the people of Deerhall hadn’t smelled for a decade.

The Serial Killer Chapter Nine: Voracity
“Well, are we going to kill him or not?” Jr asked with a slight scowl. “Of course not what’s wrong with you!” said Nathan. They had been having this back and forth Nathan’s entire car ride home and to his displeasure, it continued into the night.
