    Confinement

    Chapter 3 “I can't believe you were this stupid,” a gruff voice told me. I moaned. I tried to bring the room into focus, but everything was dark. And my head was spinning. Something hurt but it wasn't even sure what. "It was a lure, in case you didn't notice," the voice continued. I struggled to place it. I had heard it before, for sure. I tried to answer something, but all that came out was an incoherent mumbling. Why was everything still dark? "Anyway, he's got you now. Good luck." I
  2. I like to think that it's the money driving him forward, an offer too good to let by... for now.

    Chapter 2 The door creaked as I closed it behind me, and the first thing I noticed about the room I was in was the smell. It reminded me of the forest, with notes of evergreen needles mixed with wood. It was actually quite pleasant, and when I turned around I could do nothing but stare for a few moments, slack-jawed. You know those interior design magazines that show houses of impossibly rich people just to tease you with how your own house could look if only had a couple million dollars

  9. the mystery will keep growing, trust me...
  10. Chapter 1. The fight with Greg I left my old life behind when I stepped out of the bus. I was glad to see it go. The bus, the people, the memories. I wanted to start over, to make some sense out of the mess everything had become over the last awful year. Going away was the only thing that was left for me to do, and after months and months of trying, I had done it. I had finally been able to escape. I shifted my backpack on my shoulders and looked down at the large black dog by my side. R

    Ryan is only eighteen, but he knows what homelessness is like. When the offer came for a job out in the Oregon wilderness, no questions asked, he jumped at the chance. Three grand for two weeks' work sounded too good to be true. And maybe it is. His new boss is... strange. And Ryan has heard rumors that there were others before him, all of them young, hired to come and work at the manor. The funny thing is, none of them were ever seen again…
  12. yeah, totally! it's like letting the stories take you wherever
  13. "This would be easier if you actually told me what we're doing," Peter grumbled. Professor Haworth sighed. "I already told you. Altering a single space-time variable to see what the consequences are." "You never said it would be this boring." "You're getting your paycheck either way, aren't you?" the Professor snapped. Her glasses slid too far down the bridge of her nose and she pushed him back with an automatic motion. Peter raised both his hands, palms out. "Sorry, ma'am. I'm just here to

    The Meeting

    thanks! it was fun trying to cram all items into the story
  18. You know what's messed up about leaving everything behind? How good it feels. Just… liberating. I didn't have any regrets as I revved up my bike and sped out into the night. Goodbye, suburbia. Goodbye, life of lies. I didn't really have a destination in mind. I just let the road take me wherever it wanted, and the feeling of the night wind on my face was exhilarating. Despite everything that had happened, I found myself smiling. I took the freeway north, hunched over the handlebars, and fired u
  19. My response to prompt 439. 'Use the following in a story – a clown, a motorcycle, vacation tickets, chocolate cake, and a ring.'
  20. Thanks! Glad you liked it
  21. There's definitely a creepiness factor at work there, that's for sure.

    Prompt 439

    Awww, this was so sweet! Two people making an honest effort to save their love. Awesome! Props for fitting in the vacation tickets - I'm trying to find a way to stick them into my response, lol.
  23. Lol - I'm imagining a pink-and-green crazed clown on a motorcyle
  24. Yay, thanks! It's wonderful to see how so many people are curious about what's really going on, and yet at the same time we all agree that it might be best to just leave it as is
  25. Thank you very much! I'm going to let the mystery stand, though
