Grounded

The thing about working late nights is that every sound you hear is either made up or something to be investigated in the morning. It’s the rule that keeps your life from turning into a horror movie. So, that is why I couldn’t understand why I would willingly leave my desk and go to my window. I heard the knock a couple of times, ignored it because it might have been my mind playing tricks on me at two in the morning but when it came again, and again and a third time I couldn’t dampen my curiosity any longer. I was fully aware that this mig...

Who I Am

“I don’t know you.” The woman standing in front of my hospital bed looks like she’s about to burst from how red her face is turning. I don’t know how long she wants to put herself through this because it’s clearly not helping. I mean, who comes to visit a man who doesn’t know you every day and get angry at him like it’s his fault all this is happening. Honestly, I’m considering asking the nurses not to let her in anymore. This might set me free from this obsession she seems to have with me. “How can you not know me? You proposed to be two ...

This is stupid. It’s probably the worse idea I’ve ever had. I mean, who takes a three day trip to visit someone they have never met in their life because they promised their eighteen year old self something that so clearly seems like the worse idea since olives on pizza. It doesn’t matter that this has been on my list since I got the papers seven years ago. It can probably wait until next year. No, see, this is exactly the kind of thinking that made me put this off for so long. I think that’s the reason I made it a New Years resolution. Not ...

"... give us a call at your convienience." The last of the message plays on the answering machine, sending a cold chill down my back. It's been a few months since the painful dissapointment that I didn't make the company so I was forced to move on. Exchaning tights for suits hadn't been easy but I had almost convinced myself that I was going to make it. Untill this moment, this message. With a growl and slamming of the front door I make my way down to the gym, glad for the late hour, the company of my thoughts and a quick stop at my locker...

Summer Night Secrets

Submitted to Contest #68

It had been twenty-four years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. It had the same shade of blue paint that now reminded her of stolen innocence. The same stark white shutters to round of the secret that the people inside the house lived with for so many years. The secret they all stilled lived with and would die with, if they knew what was good for them. She didn’t exactly know what she was doing back here. It was stupid really and she would tell whoever came up with the idea that she thought so. The whole reas...
