“Thread Through Needles” by Caroline Eddy

The light glinted off the needle’s point. Held between two fingers, it looked harmless. Pretty silver and shining. Tara turned it in her fingers once, then twice. The white string slipped through the needle’s eye twisted like a propeller in the air. It went against major school rules, same as the candles lit and strategically placed around the darkened dorm room. But same as the candles and the late hour,...

“The Unquiet” by Caroline Eddy

“This is kind of ballsy,” Davis McKenna said with an unkind smile. Eve frowned, arms crossed over her blouse. She’d always hated. “I prefer unorthodox.” “Uh huh,” Davis sniffed. His eyes drifted to the next chair over, where Henry sat still save for an anxious bouncing leg. “And you’re sure about this?” “You’ve heard Eve’s answer,” Henry said in a clipped tone. “So...

“Arcana Mortis” by Caroline Eddy

London, 1886 Under his palm, the table was smooth as glass. And then it wasn’t. Thomas disliked the beginning of trances. As a child the weightless, cold sensation had scared him, convinced him that if he stepped too far off the path, he would not be able to find his way back to the surface. Nearly twenty years on, Thomas was used to the mechanisms of his trances, ...

Who was safe, who could be trusted for a little while, and who looked like they would expect something ...

“Rhode Island” by Caroline Eddy

“It’s suspicious as hell, Fee. Don’t tell me you don’t think it’s suspicious.” “I do, okay? I do, but the only way we’re going to get to the bottom of it is to talk to the kid. He seems eager to please.” “Uh huh. And did’ya stop to think about why that is, exactly?” “What are you trying to say, Harry?” Felix sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose in the da...

“Lost & Found” by Caroline Eddy

“June bride always a bride,” Felix says cheerfully, holding up the umbrella a little higher, as Harry asked. He watched the young woman he was shading from sun glare adjust the flower girls, her bouquet, her new husband’s boutonnière, as Harry walked backwards into place. Harry laughs lightly, raising his camera again. “On the hottest day of the year no less. At least the flowers are still pretty fresh today, an...

“The Weird Sisters” by Caroline Eddy

The Cleaver sisters had acquired more nicknames in their short years than a small city. The Ghouls, the Crazy Cleavers, “those three”, the Weird Sisters.           (That was their personal favorite, the Weird Sisters. It was poetic and subtle in the way Miranda and Katy appreciated, but dramatic enough to satisfy Emma.)           When your family bounced from Air Force base to Air Force base, state to state to state,...
