But I ignore the negative thoughts, and pick up my pace to match that of Olympic athletes. A minute later I’m stopping forContinueContinue reading “Horror”

Whispers

anonymous The noise was getting too much. Suddenly, without warning, it stopped. Silence. The relief was immeasurable. Yet after a few seconds, the silence was overwhelming. Oppressive.

Raven

Ava and Lenore Grade 10 Allen cracked her eyes open, squinting against the bright LED ceiling light. She groaned and sat up, feeling her bones creak with every movement.
