amphitheater

Description:

#Audio. #ShortShort  #Basedonatruestory A trip to a concert is so much more.

Excerpt:

No, the real reason is that he’s working shifts and she’s working furiously on her novel, and there are four kids and her parents and his parents and church and social obligations, and all of that adds up and means that couple-time is relegated to those precious few moments when all four kids are asleep at the same time, and they’re lying in bed together in the dark.

Jessie

 

Description:

#Audio. #FlashFic Billy has always known that there’s something different about Jessie.

Excerpt:

Like, when you played Tea Party at her house, the tea in her doll’s cup would disappear a little at a time, even though you never saw her lift it to steal a sip.

And when you were playing Freeze Tag there were moments when you’d swear she’d frozen with her feet above the ground instead of on it.

Not so much a ghost story, as a story with ghosts in it. Written for 2016 HorrorDailies.

But Mama never believed me when I told her that my invisible friends told me these things. She’d just tug on one of my braids and tell me I was lucky to have such a vivid imagination, and maybe I’d be a writer someday.
