Dark Unexpected Visitor

Rebecca Jane

Ivy sat pondering her next move. Should she go out and see what the noise was or should she stay put and accept her second conclusion that it was just a cat at the dumpster or some other creature rattling things around. She stayed put, huddled under her blanket, wanting to stay in bed and trying to ignore the fact that she should probably at least check out the window in the living area. Another dull clunk sounded from somewhere outside. "Oh, ok, I'll go look," She muttered to herself. Ivy pulled herself up and out from underneath her bla...

Quite the Day

Rebecca Jane

Olivia sat at her desk writing. Today she was home alone and taking full advantage of the rare silence. It was a little too silent for her taste, but she couldn't complain. She certainly could focus a little better in the silence than with the constant interruptions of different family members needing help. (Don't get me wrong, that is good. It’s just that it adds to the distractions that a day can hold.) And of course, her cat constantly wanting her attention added to her daily interruptions. And then there were the scattered buzzes from he...

The Exciting Morning

Rebecca Jane

It was four in the morning and here was Scarlett, once again sitting down at her kitchen table. This was the third time that night, and what seemed like the one-hundredth time this week. All week she had been having vivid and wild dreams and they had only gotten worse. She couldn't remember any of them, but she did know that tonight whatever it was, it had come to a new level. She had woken herself up by yelling one word "No..." What was this? What was the matter? Scarlett decided that she wouldn't go back to sleep, it would only result in m...

Prince Harold had been chasing her for three days, and she was beginning to tire. He wanted to make sure that the Princess would not have the power back, the power that he longed for, but could never use because of the evil in his heart.Hazel never would have dared to think that she could actually pull off the heist, but Princess Elisabeth had finally convinced her that s...

A Peaceful Christmas

Rebecca Jane

Lonely! Alone! Tired! Those are the three words that I am sure will describe this Christmas. I couldn't afford to fly home this Christmas, and my family couldn't fly here. To make things worse, my close friends are all flying home to see their families, so we can't do anything together. I am happy for them, but right now, I just want to feel bad for myself - petty, to be sure, but what can I say.Well, although I am all alone in this small apartment for Christmas, I should still try to make the best of it . . . even if I will have to try real...

The Encouraged Eavesdropper

Rebecca Jane

I slow down and come to a halt as I slide to the edge of the eaves. This was going to take a while...who would see me dangling up here over this window. I should have said goodbye to that paper when it flew out the window, instead I am hanging up here like an inch worm hangs off of a flower. I guess I get the chance to think, I've been worn down and haven't really been taking the time to think lately...or do anything else, for that matter. It has been a month since I have felt like myself. I have been feeling so discouraged about everyt...

A Robber's Heart

Rebecca Jane

"I have to take you in. You know that, right?" queried Officer Brit. "Well, I know that, but I am not exactly happy with it. I have been running for six years. Until you came along, I would have gotten away with that bank heist." Responded Mark. "I'm sorry, but you should have known better in the first place. Justice always makes right in the end, no matter how far after the crime." Officer Brit said with some sorry at the circumstances. She always felt bad that she couldn't have helped the confused people before they committed a crime and n...

A Simple Thank You

Rebecca Jane

Let's see, maybe a book from one of her favorite authors, or maybe some homemade earrings, oh, maybe a homemade cake...Claira had always heard that homemade things made the best sort of gifts. Maybe she could crochet an afghan and give it to Alice; after all, nothing is too big to give to someone that you are grateful for. Or, she could do several different things and add a "thank you" note to top it off. However, I don't want to make it awkward by giving her something too big, and then everyone would think that I was trying to get on her go...

The Assignment

Rebecca Jane

It had been three long days that Grace had been working on her book assignment for school. Grace hadn't made time in her busy school and work schedule for having a fever for a week and being unable to think clearly during that time. Now, she was playing massive catch-up.She had decided to have an all-nighter and finally finish this book assignment...it was already several days late, as was everything else, but if she got it done, she was sure that the weight of having so much to do would be lifted and she would be able to work more efficient...
