“A Bump in the Night” by LA B

Nathan wished he'd brought a heavier coat. His mom had told him to bring his sweatshirt, one she had bought specifically so the fur on the inside could keep him warm, but he had waved off her worry with a, "It won't be that cold, Mom.

“Another Day” by LA B

Submitted to Contest #3

And yet again, she is pounding on my door. One of these days, she’s going to break the wood, and then she’ll have to spend more money she doesn’t have to replace it. “Devin!!” she called, interrupting my thoughts temporarily, though she could never completely remove the negativity from my mind.
