Day #5, Sleep Over – by Elizabeth Averay BANG. ‘Dad, what was that?’ ‘Easy, Jane. I think we blew a tyre.’ Pulling over to check, Dan finds two tyres have blown out. ‘Crap.’ Looking up at the sky, he grimaces at the thick black/grey clouds mounting up. Leaning out the back window, Greg asks, ‘So,Continue reading “25 Days of Terror”

Day Three: Trio – by Amber Averay After the arrival of her twin boys, and the immediate death of the younger, Mother cherished the remaining child.

Day 2: Mix Up – by Amber Averay ‘You’re weak!’ her brother spat, tossing her favourite book, sans cover, to the floor and crouching over her. ‘Ma and Pop should have just left you in the snow as a baby – then I wouldn’t have to deal with you.

Day One, The Original – by Elizabeth Averay Waking to whispered voices, my room is ice cold; breath coming out of me like a heavy fog. ‘Another room.’ ‘There’s another room.’ ‘Find our room.’ ‘Another room.’ Whispered echoes surround me.
