25 Days of Terror

Day 1 The Original My fingers twitched at his unabashed arrogance. I did what I could to contain my rage. To hear him tell it, he was the savior to all, and deserved to be venerated for it without question… The fawning and adoration all who gathered displayed, was almost too much to bear.

25 Days of Terror

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.

25 Days of Terror

Day One – The Original, by Amber Averay I’ve found it! I hurry through the front door, kicking it shut but forgetting to bolt and chain in my haste to get to the study. Arms laden with papers both loose and bound, I stride through the kitchen and down the hallway, mind buzzing with excitement.Continue reading “25 Days of Terror”

My Writing Buddy

We all need a helping hand from time to time. I didn’t realize how true that was until quite recently. I don’t talk about myself much, because I want to focus on my writing and bring joy and entertainment through my words.

A Fortnight of Lust

Day #14: Couple’s Retreat by Amber Averay ‘I really don’t have time for this,’ she said again, wincing as he tied the blindfold over her eyes and caught some strands of red hair in the knot.

Couples Retreat By Dominick May Looking into my husband’s eyes, I reached out and took his hand. “They’re coming, are you ready.

With a big splash,Continue reading “A Fortnight of Lust: Day 14”

A Fortnight of Lust: Day 14

Couples Retreat  He’d wanted to take me to a beach where the sand was warm and soft.  I said no.  His intentions were nice, but I couldn’t help the fact I longed for more.  I wanted adventure.  He was unsure, but he was confident any time away from real life would be good.  He wouldContinue reading “A Fortnight of Lust: Day 14”

A Fortnight of Lust: Day 13

Together Again I saw you standing on the stair, The light was shining on your hair, You looked good, And for a moment I thought we could, Get together again.

He said he would go, but he’d been saying it for years. ‘I’ve had enough, I’m leaving.’ And the next day he would be there as if the fight had never happened. When we first got together he promised to never leave me. Said we wouldContinue reading “A Fortnight of Lust”

A Fortnight of Lust

Day #13: Together Again by Amber Averay She didn’t know how long he’d been gone – she had little understanding of time, to be honest. It was something measured either as short or long – and he’d been gone so long. It had got to the point she thought he’d abandoned her; not even theContinue reading “A Fortnight of Lust”
