“Thank You” by Laura Shell

Submitted to Contest #261

Dear Jacob, Remember the very first time I got sarcastic with you, and you gave me that look like you would kill me if I ever said anything like it again? Your eyebrows met in the middle and that vein in your forehead, the one on the right side of your head, the one that looks like a tuning fork, it started to throb... I want to thank you for that moment because it told me that you have something dark within you that I needed to pay attention to. I didn't pay attention at the time, but looking back now... So I thank you for showing me a hint...

“A Haunting” by Laura Shell

Submitted to Contest #260

He was right there. Standing behind Sam, off to his right side. Sam felt the breath of the male creature on his right ear, which gave him chills starting at his neck, racing down his back, to his right arm, cooling that arm as if doused in ice water. The first time the male figure appeared, Sam instinctively elbowed him before he whirled around to confront him face-to-face. His elbow went right through him. Horrified, Sam tried to shove the eyeless naked man. Again...he made no contact with whateverinthehellitwas. That had been two days ago....
