Yearning

Start at the beginning Max was a planner. Doing something so big so impulsively was strange. Maybe it was the exhaustion and not being able to sleep while being monitored for a concussion, maybe it was the giddy feeling he had about moving back in with his family. But most likely, it was his encounter […]

X's

X’s

Start at the beginning Max and Judy were split. Their children knew it, they just didn’t understand why. When they saw them in the house together, Helen in their house and Lucas later in the supposedly abandoned house, they were confused. So were Judy and Max. Split because Judy wasn’t sure what she wanted. She […]

Walking With a Wizard

Walking With a Wizard

Start at the beginning Max felt he had no other choice. When Flo reached out to help him stand he was mesmerized and did as he was guided. The touch itself left him entranced and happier than he had been in a long time. When he blinked he couldn’t believe his eyes as the house […]

Unconscious

Unconscious

Start at the beginning Cole hit the tree, and then the ground, hard at the same time the family inside fell through the cracks, hitting their heads hard, too.

Helen was even more smitten […]

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Start at the beginning Judy jumped first, landing in a soft pile of sod and Max came tumbling after, landing hard on the ground. They both stood slowly, looking back up to the roof they jumped from and remember their younger days of risky behavior. Neither could believe the paradise they entered and both were […]

Racing Around The Radius

Racing Around The Radius

Start at the beginning Cole picked up his pace but was physically and mentally exhausted from nights misadventures. With Lucas sound asleep on his back it was impossible to go at a steady pace, too. The only thing keeping him moving was knowing Flo seemed to be picking up her pace behind him. And then […]

Occupied

Occupied

Start at the beginning Everyone was occupied yet no one was really doing anything of value. As Helen’s parents made it up the stairs they remained quiet, hoping to hear the sound again but all was silent. Helen was simply wandering in circles not finding any clues as to where her brother went with Flo, […]

Missing Again

Start at the beginning Helen was dumbfounded at seeing the empty room knowing they couldn’t have walked past her. Searching for another way out was useless too, the only other exit was up and there was no way they could do that. Wandering around as she waited for Cole to return, Helen tried to make […]
