“The Good Guys ” by Emma Chavez

Submitted to Contest #219

I crept up the creaky stairs toward my apartment door. Walking on silent feet across the torn and yellowed carpet of the stairs. The hallway reeked of cigarettes and burnt foil.

Submitted to Contest #213

Sean Pedalton sat in his multi million dollar mansion. He threw one leg over the side of his perfectly clean white chairs. He scanned the room and scowled at it. He thought it looked more like a movie set than a home. At this moment he couldn’t remember why he had let his agent and everyone else talk him into buying a house in LA. He had to admit the view was beautiful but he much preferred living under the cloudy skies ...

“Love, Ezra ” by Emma Chavez

This story is about the act of stalking. Nothing graphic or violent happens! Thank you for reading! June 25th Dear Ezra, First- I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to write to you again.
