the 1st line... and i knew. i have done that many, many times. i once did 16 in 24 hours as prizes in a Halloween Haunted House we put on. all very intricate, not as much as yours, but detailed witches, headless horsemen, Frankenstein and werewolves. good times, brought back by great words

the thing i thank the universe for, is the fact i don't have to deal with the parent perspective of having a child as a victim. i'm a child and adult survivor of rape and i refuse to be silent. sorry Gary for the hijack

they are tough to read. they are tougher to write. they are brutal to live. trust me.

yep. those nightmares are relentless. they grab you and throw you into a dark pit, but i'm happy, grateful even, that Mike is there to break your fall and catch you. the world is a better place because you are in it.

it's a parent's fear. these reflect the feelings of an adult victim and a parent's fear. it makes me angry and sad.

the thing about forgiveness is, that it is not for the other person. forgiveness is for yourself. i forgave the person who was the love of my life, and still is(it's the basis for my poem "It's Raining"). he left, literally ran out of town, without a word to me or for me. left me pregnant and humiliated. i wanted to kill myself, but there was a baby. at almost 5 months, i miscarried and almost bled to death(again there is more and his part in this part). there is a lot more to the story but this enough. at that point i wanted to die. no children for me because of the this and i wanted a house full. a month later i overdosed. i no longer wanted to live. my heart was shattered, but i still loved him, if i had not forgiven him, i would not have been free of the pain. if he had come back within a couple of years, i would have welcomed him. to me, there is always room for 2nd chances when a change occurs. i think Brady may have had the change and deserve at least a chance to prove it. that's my $1 worth

all voted!

i'm sorry the story ended. but maybe there is sequel?

this wasn't so much as a poem as is was a heart-cry of a community in loss

well i can't stop looking now!

i think both Jake and Klaus are denying a part of themselves, just about different things. And Hans? the jury is still out on him. i fear he is hiding/up to something.

i always like my walks with you. everything from a leisurely stroll through the the woodlands to heart fast run. never the same, always something new to see, to learn. i love that. thank you

this was the easiest one yet. both your characters were engaged in the act. in the other, hit me me when one character said to just pick one, it doesn't matter to me. well heck, if it doesn't matter to you, why should it matter to me?

i'm with wesley and bndmetl, more please. i hate when the story has to end.

i like it! was it green? my friend and i put together a haunted experience place in 14 days to be open to the public. complete with games, contest and haunted house scare, we had about 200 come. a proud momma. it was to announce our organization was setting up shop in the strip mall. (it was a Church)

i just finished reading Book 1 about a month ago and can't wait to see book 3

that's easy. have a moving 4ft spider with web on your house. just saying

individually the are good. together they are masterful. well done.

aahhrrgg, i really hate cliffies, but i will give you this, it is one of the more epic ones

love them! i once took a class that explored Spiritual Gifts. you take a test (200+) question, and if you get 13-15 in a section, then you possess that gift (one of 26). when i got my results i had 4, and i looked at the instructor and said "can i give one back?" i mean the 1st one was a good one, a perfect 15-faith. the next two, not quite as good both 13, discernment of spirits and prophecy, but my 2nd question to the instructor was "what the heck do i do with the gift of exorcism(14)?"

at one time or another, i've done everything on this list(except the last 2), plus dressing kids up to do trick or treating. this year i'll be reading scary stories.

WP @BlindAmbition?

it was a great series. last i heard,she's started writing book 3 in the series

so empty. so sad.
