WIP | Rose Colored Memories (update)

  Kylie held her breath as she listened to the truck door slam closed, then to heavy footsteps on the porch. The moan of the old hinges made Kylie shudder as Vincent stepped inside, “What the hell!? Why didn’t you lock the door!?”, Kylie whispered. “I was in a hurry.”, Rob responded. “Come out, Come out wherever you are!”, Vincent teased. “Look, I know you’re here- I know that is your blue Coupe Ute out front there.”, Vincent shouted as he made his way through the two bedrooms and kitchen; slamming and slinging things as he went. “That was a hell of a stunt you pulled off, running off with that little weasel, taking me money….making me mourn for you!”, Vincent shouted. With every glass that broke Kylie jumped and became more anxious, as Vincent neared the basement door Rob motioned for Kylie to go over to the window and climb out. Alarmed Kylie walked over to the wobbly old two foot by four foot table that was set against the cinder block wall, slowly climbed on top. The loud calam...

Rose Colored Memories

A small three by five piece of paper fluttered violently as the dirt filled breezes whipped around the blue jeep. Kylie stepped out from Gentry’s General Store, the wind twirling her strawberry blond hair. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed the note flapping in the breeze. She quickly scanned the horizon then left to right, the only cars there were her own, the cashier Bonnie and the owner’s car. With a deep breath she walked over to the Jeep and plucked it from its confinements between the windshield and wiper blade. Without having to read the note in its entirety she knew the author, her blood ran cold. Crumpling the note; she hurriedly loaded the two brown bags into the passenger seat. Her cell phone rang, startling her, “Hello?”, Kylie answered. “Hey babe…what time you think your gonna be home?”, Rob questioned. “On my way now.”, Kylie said sighing relief. “Okay, will it be alrigh if I invite Troy from work over?”, Rob asked. Kylie was still unnerved and was focusing more on t...

Excerpt - WIP | The Dreaming ~ Somnia

They say in the beginning that man and woman were as one creature. A creature with two heads, four arms and four legs; in attempts to steal the knowledge of the heavens they were subsequently separated and placed at the opposite ends of the earth for ever to be doomed to search for their other half...… Sophia lay restless in her bed, her sheets and comforter twisted. She flipped over hard on her right side and stared at the red numbers on the alarm clock, 3:45 a.m. Frustrated she rolled on to her back and looked intently at the ceiling fan as it slowly spun. After a short spell of watching the fan she dozed back off. Her dreams were filled with the same man that she had dreamed about since her earliest memory, though then he was a young boy. She slept only an hour then she awoke again. Aggravated as usual, unable to put a name to  the person in her dreams she arose and walked down stairs;her chocolate lab, koko, followed close behind her. She seated herself at the kitc...

Excerpt - WIP - Bitter Roots

'Everything is not always as it seems', Aurelia reassured herself as she pressed her back hard against the heavy oak door. 'Just another secret' she murmured to herself as she turned and walked down the hall. Only to haphazardly bump into her boss, Mr. Burron. "Ah! Aurelia. Just the person I was looking for.", he said much more cheerfully than he'd ever before. "What can I do for you Mr. Burron?", she meekly asked. He face suddenly furrowed. "Is Mrs. Burron here?", he questioned. "Asked to be left to herself in the study." He paused and his eyes searched across her face. "Ah well may I ask your company in my office then?" Her heart sank a little bit and a nauseous feeling settled in her stomach. "Absolutely." Her voice cracked. "It's nothing bad I promise." He gestured for her to walk ahead of him. Cautioned, she proceeded to walk with h...
