I tensed, waiting. Then the door was flung wide. The next several minutes were the most horrific in my short life. The enormous phantoms were now real. How had they come into the room without me actually seeing them make their entrance? Now they were crowded around me. What the hell was going on? One had me by the throat. I could not breathe. Another held my legs…I was fighting for my life. The wind howled malevolently and lightening flashed blindingly. The thunder was explos

I closed the door and stepped away from it, but it stubbornly squeaked open again. Turning back to it, I could suddenly feel a breeze behind me. Looking towards its source, l saw the partly open drapes move. Was that an open window? Could I dare to hope that this room was on the second or even the third floor so we would have easy access to the ground? Even if we were higher, perhaps there was a tree we could jump into and from there we could climb to the ground. As I quickly

Blazing, brilliant, autumn leaves How I love your warm bright, colors Shades of yellow, orange, red Speckled green, brown, almost black Fall like rain from branches lighter Leave their clothes of leaves below Trees get ready for winter sleep Now trees, whisper, tell us Did you miss them? As they fell to ground below Did you wish them bon voyage? As they fell from off your branches? Did you kiss them each one slowly? Lovingly bid them a safe journey? Autumn leaves, always leav

BLISS After much trial and error, I was able to pick the lock with my make-shift wire key. With tremendous relief, I opened the door and looking cautiously right and left, I stepped out into a corridor that was lit intermittently by naked light bulbs. Closing the door noiselessly behind me, I stood still. I listened intently for some seconds. Nothing. Quickly and silently, I proceeded down the passage which stretched ahead of me. I picked up my pace. Then I was running, runni

My eyelids fluttered open to the sound of raised voices. A door slammed, and then there was silence. I turned my head towards the sound, bumping it painfully against a hard surface. "Owww!" I groaned, rubbing my bruised temple. "Where am I? What time is it? What the hell is going on? Bliss? Bliss? Where are you? OMG!" I sat up quickly, suddenly remembering what had happened with Bliss and I, and those two guys at the club. Getting unsteadily to my feet, I surveyed my surround

When I woke up again, it was night but not dark. Moonlight streamed through the window, its pale yellow light welcomed me. It replaced the sun's orange radiance that had bid me farewell as I drifted off to sleep again. The moonlight had none of the sun's warmth. I was cold. Shivering, I hugged myself. I was suddenly very thirsty, my throat felt parched. Licking my dry lips, I tried to swallow. But I could not generate enough saliva to help me even in this small endeavor. I ne

I just woke up in this room. I was laying on the floor. That was odd. I didn't know where I was. Everything looked unfamiliar. I could see by the light from the window. I was suddenly desperately frightened. I tried to sit up, but strangely, the floor seemed to move as if I was on the deck of a ship in a stormy sea. I felt sick to my stomach. I lay back down. I felt cold. Why was I on the floor? How did I get here? I pondered these questions for a time, my heart beating so fa

I used to love apples, but I don't anymore. They remind me too much of an incident that occurred during my tour of duty in Iraq. I was two days into my deployment when we went on patrol. We were sweeping for dissidents in a small village of perhaps five hundred people . We met with an ambush. The fire fight was fierce and an air strike was finally called in. There must have been a miscalculation on the coordinates, or we were just too close to the target. We were right in the
