Prairie Dog We were making our way through the midwest on a very cold morning when I saw an animal that looked like a dog‚ but seemed to be much smaller. As I tried to near it to get a better look it barked continuously until I was out of sight. I noticed that when the animals felt alarmed the whole village quickly steps into their holes. As well as noticing that I also noticed that they make a call when there is a predator near‚ and once that predator is gone they give out a second call. The small

Kurt stands crammed in the aisle of the bus‚ one hand wrapped around a pole‚ as they travel slowly down a mostly deserted street. The lack of lights and activity is disconcerting after all the chaos on the strip. The noisy crowd on the bus makes up for the quiet outside. Everyone except him and‚ hopefully‚ the driver are drunk or on their way there. The ring shines dully in the crummy lights on the bus. It feels weirdly grown up to have a ring on. The first time he’d tried a wedding ring on was

It was a dark and stormy night… I’m sorry; I just had to say that. It was actually just like every other day‚ you know‚ until the zombie thing happened. Just like any other Friday‚ Ted and I were getting done with our third shift jobs. It was a boring assembly line job‚ doing the same thing over and over. The kind of job that can turn your brain to mush. Come to think of it‚ working there put us in a kind of zombie-like state. Our usual weekend ritual involved going to the bar immediately

He was alive. Steve remembered when that was his mantra during that first suicide mission to recover the 107th. Bucky was alive. As Steve lay in the hospital bed recovering from his injuries‚ that thought bounces around in his mind. Why hadn’t he looked for him? How could he have let his body rot in that ravine without at least looking for him? Why hadn’t he done something? He had been so sure that he would know when Bucky died‚ that he would feel it‚ yet all these years he had been alive and Steve

Mum’s got a problem. So does Dad. It’s not my problem‚ though. At least‚ this is what I tell myself. I never got much‚ as a kid. Like toys and stuff. We couldn’t afford them. Dad couldn’t hold down a job‚ and mum spent all the cash on alcohol. I thought we were normal‚ until I started school. All the other kids had posh lunch boxes with matching lids. Inside them they had a ripe banana‚ a packet of chips‚ and a luminous brown bread sandwich with Nutella or peanut butter. Something diverse every

She sat down in her reading chair and continued to read her horror story and nibble on biscuits. After
