The Offer
Jessica sat on a deserted park bench in shock. She stared helplessly into space; desperately trying to figure out the days events. “Lovely isn’t it?” A male voice interrupted her tragedy. “What?” She replied blankly. “The church you’re staring at.” She broke her gaze to look at the church. “If you say so.” “You don’tContinue reading “The Offer”

Winter Season
Kisses? He was gone. The smell of food filled her lungs. She got dressed and joined him in the kitchen. When he finally sat at the table, she got up and looked at his neck.
