Revenge Her hands shook as she washed the blood away in the sink, but her hands refused to come clean. She scrubbed and scrubbed, but the red would not wash away.

Spook-tober: Day 4

Some said it was fountain of youth, some said it was a labyrinth, and still others said it was a trap. I laughed it off, because it was absurd. Still, a small kernal of curiosity lingered inContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 4”

Thin Veil by Amber Averay Amber’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries I was scared of my child. I can admit that now; now the shadows gather to frame my vision and my age-spotted skin lies paper-thin over old bones.

Spook-tober: Day 2
Thin Veil I walked the line between life and death. An ill-fated gamble from my youth left me not quite on the mortal plane and not able to move beyond. I have seen hundreds if not thousands pass from one life to the next before me, but I was never free to join them inContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 2”
Spook-tober: Day 1
By Amber Averay Check Amber out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries Magic I sat in the darkened cupboard, ears straining for any sounds beyond the doors.
