Serial – Little River: Vol 2 – Ch 5
Josiah made his way up the walk with his arms full of grocery bags. He stepped up onto the porch, shifting the bags to free his hand, when the front door of the house opened. “There you are!” Mary beamed at him. “Here I am,” Josiah grinned at the elderly lady as he waited for…

The banging of pans in the kitchen woke Lexi Jones from a deep sleep. Suddenly panicked, she reached for her phone and checked the time. Six twenty. She still had ten minutes before her alarm went off. Groaning, she pulled herself away from the warmth of her bed, and trudged to the bathroom across the…
Serial – Little River: Vol 2 – Ch 1
The sunlight streamed through the trees, all but devoid of leaves, with only a few determined stragglers battling the brisk wind.

On each subsequent visit, Rose appealed to William for something new. At first, her requests were simple and seemingly harmless. A Walkman to listen to music.

Serial – Through a Mirror Clear – Ch 5
No matter how hard he tried, William couldn’t sleep. Memories of better times flooded his thoughts. He remembered the mornings when Serena leaned over him to press the snooze button, then fell back to sleep with her head on his chest. The curve of her knees fit perfectly against his when they lay side by…
Serial – Through a Mirror Clear – Ch 4
When William stepped into the attic, he didn’t see her at first. He moved slowly into the open space filled with old sofas and torn chaises, mismatched headboards and footboards, trunks and empty picture frames and rusted dress forms. The ceiling soared impossibly high above him. Hanging from the rafters were thin veils of some…
