Turn Around

Losing a friend was never easy. As you watch her walk away, you feel like you're the worst person in the world. Seeing her back facing you for the first time, you feel like there are millions of people trying to keep the two of you from each other. There are suddenly lots of people in front of you and you can no longer see her back.

The Unknown


You lie in bed. Lights closed. Windows shut. Doors unopened. And yet you experience a cool breeze pass near you. You do not know what caused it. You are afraid.

 You stand at the end of a street. Streetlights flickering. Noises not present. Floor completely still. And yet you sense something moving. You do not know what it is. You are afraid.

You sit on the electric chair. Eyes blindfolded. Sounds made. Movement sensed. You do not know how you will feel. You are afraid.
