I woke up in a dimly lit room. I felt weight on my hands and ankles. I don’t remember what happened exactly, all I can remember are blood-stained walls and my own hand covered in blood. “Oh, I see you’ve awoken.” I looked up to see a woman in a lab coat. She walked closer to me with her notepad as she looked at me. “Tell me, do you remember anything?” I was still confused about everything. Why was I chained up? What happened. But the only thing I could say was. “Blood.” Hearing my own voice at that point startled me. That isn’t my voice, at least it wasn’t before. The voice was rough, scratchy...
The Pedestal
The two fraternal twin sisters, the red brick dormitory pillars of Texas Woman's University, have risen early to meet me. One stands a little taller than the other.

Undetected
It was an odd feeling I had when I woke up that day. Something in my very core that conveyed to me, this was the day. What day? I asked myself as if some obscure part of my brain could answer me. I shook the feeling off as I slipped out from under the warmth of my bed covers.Seconds later, I peered out my bedroom window and instantly knew what had me feeling so on edge; It was only last week the detectives had found my neighbors dead body and the mere thought of it chilled me to the bone.Not even I was aware of when or who had committed such a morbid act. Which was a bit unusual for me given m...
