The winds whispered with unknown change. How was I to know that soon we were to be caught in its currents like a couple of fall leaves torn apart to follow individual columns of moving air and maybe land together when the winds released their hold. I had gone to the mailbox that day unexpectant,… Continue reading Whirlwind

Night Demon: Distinct from the fictional world!
My first bachelorette apartment was one of my favourite places to live. It was in an old grey brick house.

Witches If I asked you to describe a witch I know what you’d say. Long pointed nose, warts or moles, a slightly hunched back, pointy shoes with a cape, long fingernails and possibly crooked teeth.

Don’t ignore that cold warning tingle.
Cindy lived alone. Cindy entered her darkened house. She was tired after a long day. Without turning on a light she locked the door behind her and walked the ten familiar steps into her kitchen and flicked the light on her microwave on casting a soft glow into the room around her.

A musty odour carrying the smell of last night’s dinner and stagnant beer fills the air. The long narrow passage echoes with silence and the dirty yellow walls stretch for miles in two directions.
