A Mock Nordic Romance by Greg Jargiello 5

The next morning, at work, Erika decided to have her coffee alone.

Suddenly she couldn’t stand being the only unattached woman

among her workmates. Seeing those hot young things hugging and

kissing was far too much for her to bear.

20 Free by Pamela A. MacBean 13

Turning redder in the face, his veins bulging in his neck, Sandy’s

father blasted Jonathan with his anger. The fight grew louder and

louder. Jonathan swore at her father. Sandy looked helplessly at

her mother, then she heard, “Get out of this yard. You are no longer

allowed at our home!”

Mourning In Los Angeles by Kem Ray Neal 23

The pain I felt in my left shoulder from the bullet hurt like hell. But

it was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my heart after getting

18 year old Benny Carzo off for murder.

At first she didn’t know what to make of it. Weird shapes, tubes,

objects and unsightly rubble slid and rolled about the seats and floor

as the subway tore through the tunnel and around torturous curves,

lights pulsating like a stroboscope illuminating a bevy of writhing

vermin in a haunted room.

Subway Ride by Russell H. Krauss 37

Still the powerful hands, the sharp fingers could easily break her

shoulder blades. And from them, strange and horrid images flow into

her brain, pictures of deliberate and repeated violent assaults, torture

and assassination, without any sense of guilt.

Portrait Of A Vampire by Eric Tessier 25

Still the powerful hands, the sharp fingers could easily break her

shoulder blades. And from them, strange and horrid images flow into

her brain, pictures of deliberate and repeated violent assaults, torture

and assassination, without any sense of guilt.

Night Terror by Victoria Valentine 45

Sarah felt a lead weight suddenly fall across her feet and legs. It seemed

so real as it restrained her. This is what awakened her mind. But as

usual, her body would not move. Oh no, struggling to be brave she

instructed her brain, not again…not again.
