     The rain poured down hard, the kind of rain that makes you expect Noah was going to show any minute. The pounding sound of rain slamming on asphalt permeated the air. In the parking lot of St. Joseph hospital it was no less quiet than the onslaught of rain further down the road. The staff slipped into the building, dodging raindrops, or shielding their heads with whatever was available to them. A shadowy figure awww.onedoor.cclso lurked in the shadows this night, watching the staff and waiting for an opportune moment. After the shift change the parking lot emptied out, except for one doctor, a mister Larry...j0Lone door

    Rocket to the Moon

    The black cat gingerly stepped over the dead body lying between its current location and the mouse. It sniffed cautiously and turned up its nose at the stench of the decaying human corpse. The tiny mouse ran as fast as it could to get away from the predatory cat, squeezing through a tiny gap in the wall until the mouse found itself in a large concrete area. This area lay below the rocket boosters of the space rocket that was scheduled to take off in a few minutes. The mouse had no idea it had wondered into a more dangerous area.

    The Rapture

    Albert loved the smell of fresh snow in the morning. He sat on a folding chair by the campfire to soak in the sunrise, bask in the silence of the forest, and enjoy the quiet whispers of the lake and the trees.Behind him, a semi-circle of tents with over 12 friends and a couple of cousins guarded the rest of the group from the biting morning chill. What a show his friends were missing, but he wasn't sorry he had it all for himself.So, when he heard fast, heavy steps approaching behind him, he wasn't as excited as he thought he'd be. He couldn't see where the steps came from. They were too heavy...j0Lone door
