"If there was one thing that could throw this town on its head, of course it'd be the goddamned McKenzie house." 

The McKenzie house stood tall and proud, its walls worn down by time and weather. It sat with windows boarded and shutters closed, with doors locked and a porch full of holes. It was still for sale, but nobody in their right minds would buy it. First it lost its family, then its charm, and finally its power. For the past two decades, the house stood overlooking Weary Ranch,  cold and dark and desolate. On one cold September morning, the citizens of Weary Ranch woke up to alarming news: all the lights were on in the McKenzie house.

Uneducated Submission by qcloudystars

"Laila, calm down", Zane said stepping forward. I turned to him, tears building up as I stared at him. "Calm down? CALM DOWN?! Do you know how much hurt you put me through? All those endless nights spent, no wasted, crying over you? You left me, the one person who genuinely cared about you, for a slut who would leave when the next best thing came along", I shouted, tears falling down my face. I gripped my head, shaking it furiously. They weren't understanding. They weren't. But I would change that. I'd make them understand. Even if it was the last thing I did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What all started as a pointless one night stand between 3 fiery young women exploring their sexuality, soon developed into a twisted love affair. Already struggling with their love lives, will they cope when jealousy rears it ugly head playing on their insecurities or will it be the death of them.? * * * * * * * #wattys2020
