       Everything was ready for the ritual. The thing about it was that Leaf Cole could not recall how he became a part of it, at least not yet. His only assignment was to go down and take pictures of this small town in Massachusetts for a possible movie. He rented a place from the Slices when he arrived. The Slices included Bryan & Lucy the parents and John the oldest son and two daughters who where away. The room he rented in the Slices home was nice. It wasn’t empty but it did have some decent things in it. The Slices themselves seemed like normal people but boy he was to find out how wrong he...ADuone door

    The sign on the librarian’s desk read: “Readers Wanted for Project Read Aloud.” Sherene stared at it as the librarian stamped the book that she had selected for her weekly reading fare with a return by date.“There you go,” said the librarian startling Sherene who had been lost in thought.“What is Project Read Aloud?” Sherene asked.“Thank you for your interest.

    Under The Bed

    When Thomas was four years old he woke to a strange noise coming from his closet. It was a sound like a slow moving creature walking through his toybox. Down the hall the light from his mother’s bedroom was on. Thomas got out of bed and went to his mother’s room where she was curling her hair in the bathroom. “Mom, there is something in my toybox,” he said. “What do you mean?” she asked.. “I hear something. It's moving around, and it's scaring me.”“Oh it's fine, it's just your step father,” she said. It didn't make sense why his step father would be in his closet in the toybox, but this answe...ADuone door
