Excerpt: I spun around disoriented, not sure which street to follow or sign to read first; now I know why my friends all consider me directionally challenged. I decide to just go with the green light and cross the street making but half a step before slamming into something hard and human. "Sorry!" I squeak, noticing I had turned into a tall, long haired boy. He looked to be about my age and didn't even throw me a glance before rushing off down the street to my left. The sound of a horn makes me jump out of my daydream as I cast my eyes away from the direction he went. I notice a small notebook near my feet that I was oblivious to before. Had it been there before? Or had Mr. I'm-in-a-rush-get-out-of-my-way dropped it?

Decadent

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
