Jumping into the big pile of autumn leaves, Ryan felt like a child again. The smell of the damp earth and pinecones lingering in the air surrounded him as he got buried into the colorful piles, and it was enough to evoke the sense of nostalgia and make Ryan reflect. He stood up and stepped out of the pile, dusting himself off from the speckles of dirt that the leaves left on his clothing. "You just couldn't help yourself, hm?" At the sound of his twin's voice, Ryan turned to look at his own reflection. The freckles on his twin's face were bu...

As she rounded the corner, the unmistakable cloud of smoke wafted up from the kitchen. Waving smoke out of the way, she went to see what it possibly could be, and she was greeted with a pan on th...

The darkness was thick, almost tangible, as he slowly opened his eyes. His heart raced with anticipation, and he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins. He knew what he had to do, and he couldn't wait for the sun to rise. Slowly, he sat up, taking care not to wake his wife or children. They slept soundly, their soft breaths the only sound in the room. He slipped out of bed, his movements quiet and precise. He dressed in the dark, pulling on his old, worn clothes. He grabbed his hat and coat, checking the pockets for the last ti...

“Your time is up, Mr. Kyle.” Pursing his lips at the security guard, Jason Kyle held up one finger in a ‘one minute’ gesture as he got ready to end his phone call with his girlfriend. “They’re telling me that my time is up. I just wanted to tell you that I miss you so much, and I love you.” Ann Marie sighed a little on the other line. “I love you too, and don’t worry about me, okay?
