“I’ve got a plan.” He whispered from the next room over. Our beds shared a very thin wall, and the vent just above our head helped. He had kept me alive these past weeks just by talking with me. “What do you have in mind this time Theo?” I questioned. He devised a new plan each day, although our days and nights were completely messed up as we didn’t have a window to the outside world in our little cells. They may not have been made of concrete, but they ...

George? He stood over the gas stove with the kettle warming pulling it off seconds before the whistle as not to startle his friend in the next room. “Hey Dom, do you care what kind of tea?” Leo asked from the kitchen. Dom didn’t answer but gave a slight head nod. Leo entered carrying a tray with two mugs filled with hot water, a string hanging over the side, and bowls of sugar and milk. He set it down on the small table between the couch and chair where they sat. Dom continued to stare off at the wall, but his eyes stayed unfocused....

RING! "Umm...hello?" "Hello."A woman's voice answered. 'Um... I always carry an umbrella on Tuesdays." I whispered, unsure ifI had the right number or the phrase. What choice did I have?

The day started like every other day. The drive from my house to work was about an hour. It's challenging most days, but I really love the area that we live in, the space and friendly neighbors made it worth the drive. Of course, on my way home from town, part of my drive was in the dark. I knew my car sounded different, but I refused to stop at a shop to have it looked at, knowing that my husband could fix it when I returned home. Just as the sunset behind the small hills, my car began sputtering before it completely gave out, coa...

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire. I knew my time at this cave had ended. The fire moved quickly through the mountains. I gathered my things and ran to escape the blistering heat. Once cleared from the flames, I needed to find cover before the invaders found me. A cave near the water would be safe from the fire, but they camped nearby. I snuck through the trees, peeking around each one watching for movement. I closed the distance to the lake to get a view of the camp before navigating around them. It was better to have t...

When telling the story of my adventures are not always easy, as I don’t understand it all myself. It started subtly that I didn’t even notice, but Clara did. Well I say subtly because my abilities started that way. They reason everything started was not. Clara noticed the change when I would reach for things small that were barely out of range. Then it progressed to knowing things before they happened. I noticed that one quickly. Having déjà vu several times a day is not something you can ignore.“Come on, Clara, it’s too early to go home,” I...
