Smouldering by Elizabeth Averay Running, running, running. Can’t stop. Must keep going. Have to make it. Not allowed to fail. To fail is to die – that’s what Granddad always says. So I keep running. I have to, they are after me. Two days ago I showed them what it’s like to be under ‘fire’.Continue reading “Spook-tober: Day 15”

Smouldering by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries He awoke to blinding darkness. It was disconcerting – bloody terrifying – but he snorted deep breaths through his swollen nose and exhaled through a mouth tasting of blood. Stay calm, he advised himself, panic flooding him.

Smoldering I was walking home late one evening and met him in a dark alley. I knew he had ill intentions the moment I saw him. He preyed upon helpless women who were unlucky enough to be down this particular street alone. Fortunately for me, I wasn’t a helpless woman, so I was in noContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 15”

Autumn Nights by Elizabeth Averay It was beautiful: a full moon for the Autumn Dance. The little town really knew how to put on a show: elegantly dressed women in their ballgowns and handsome men in their tuxedos with top hats and canes.

Autumn Nights She’d always looked forward to Halloween as a child, but aside from that she grew tired of the endless festivals, craft fairs, and parties her parents insisted she go to.

An Attack by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries I don’t want your pity. I don’t need it. She hurt me, and I let her. I thought it was love. I thought she meant it when she said it was an accident. We met at a party held by mutual friends. You know howContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 13”

An Attack by Elizabeth Averay VILE. FILTHY. UGLY. FAT. PIG. These are just a few of the things people have called me, mostly my former class ‘mates’, and now they expect me to go to a reunion.
