  • Saved to be Free

    Sara walked down the sidewalk adjacent to the identical apartments scrunched so close together they were practically morphed into one elongated building. She looked down at the notes she had taken on her phone. “Building 13 Unit b, 5th building down Maple Street, has new roommate’s police car parked in front of it.”  After her

  • Declaration Day

    “Charlie! Help me!” The sun hung low in the valley and threatened a darkness upon the shabby, povern-struck town in the distance. Charlie stood on the edge of a cliff, the drop was no less than a 100 miles long. At least, he assumed so with careful calculation. His brother, George, dangled from the mountainside.

  • Albert

        Nothing is better than catching someone in the act of a dark secret. My neighbor, Albert, certainly had one, but so did I.      It was a bleak day in December, where the air was crisp and the world was quiet in the New York mountains. I dragged my tools up a hill, crunching
