The mayor of SandLock sits at his desk. As he thinks, Isaiah, the mayor's secretary, and sidekick, walks into his office with 16 envelopes in his hand.
"Here you go, Sir!" he smiles as he places the neatly arranged envelopes on the mayor's desk, "everything you wanted plus more in a letter! I also added a fresh apple scented wax to close up-" before Isaiah could finish his sentence the mayor cut him off.
"I don't need details, Isaiah. Thank you!"
"Oh, um. . . sorry, sir. My apologies."
the mayor smiled at his secretary.
Silence fills the room as Isaiah thinks of something to say.
"Would you need help delivering these letters?" Isaiah begins, "I know where the guest lives."
"That would be wonderful, Isaiah! That gives me time to talk to the boy!"
"Oh! I forgot about him! Where is he anyway?" Isaiah smiled and looked around.
"He is in the back. I made sure it would be a while before he woke up," the mayor explained.
"I got you!" Isaiah picked up the envelopes and headed towards the door. "I best be going."
The mayor smiled as Isaiah was about to leave.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Gretel told me her and the others are almost done setting up for the "Party"."
"Excellent! I'm thankful to have you guys as a team!" the mayor announced.
"We are thankful too!" Isaiah exclaimed. He twisted the doorknob and left his bosses office.
The mayor laughed slightly as he got up from his chair and walked over to the door leading to the back. He opened it and found Kyle laying on the ground.
"Thank you for volunteering, Kyle! We really needed it!" His deep voice said menacingly with a smile.

"Are you old enough to be here?" The 18-year-old asked, and Hailey laughed. "Yeah. Of course, look can we just have two light beers?" Hailey asked looking at the desserts. "Well, I'm supposed to id, but I don't get paid enough for this." He rolls his eyes sliding the beers over. "Enjoy!" He groans cleaning off the counter and assisting the next customer. We walk over to a small booth and sit down. Hailey slides the beers over to me and I open one. I start to lift it and then set it back on the table. "Um... Hailey are we old enough for this?" she nods so I take a sip. It was disgusting but I felt like I should drink more so I drank the rest. Hailey had already gone to order more, and I stumbled towards her. A man grabbed me dragging me towards the back door and Hailey ran over trying to grab me. She screamed trying to get people to help but they were all distracted. The man stuck something in my arm and threw me in a van. He shut the door and Hailey ran inside to call the police. Someone covered my head with a bag, and I felt a sharp pain in my neck and then I blacked out. After that day, my life was changed forever... Click to find out more.Complete
Take And Blame
time to close this place up' locking up the front, I slid the security doors closed and locked it. 'i need a decent meal and some sleep' leaving my work, I got in my car and drove back to my apartment. 'what the fuck are these?' looking at the flowers I scrunched up my nose. 'they just wilt and die. Why would someone place these at my door?. Whoever the hell it is, needs to get some help' leaving the flowers at the door, I walked inside and closed the door. 'they can die at the door. I need food then I need to find a new bank. I have had that account with my current bank for many years but I also know there's a trustee on there that I do not want. Maybe I can go see Janet. I know she won't mess around' hearing a knock I ignored it and stayed as quiet as I could. 'my bet is whoever left those flowers is now at my door. I can also bet it's Julius. Shit my phone' turning my phone on silent, I put it on the bench as it rang. 'yep. As expected it's Julius. Argh I could use a release. I didn't get that man's number and I don't plan to. I don't even know his name. Those things weren't discussed. We didn't discuss anything in regards to names, ages, occupations. There's no need for that' finishing making up my dinner, I then served it and sat down at my table. 'finally some peace'.Complete

The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.

The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

Guilty as Hell
"Fuck!" I whisper in surprise, pulling my hand back to my mouth and sucking my ring finger. The metallic taste of blood seeps into my mouth and I slowly examine the pad of my red finger. There's a shallow hole where I broke the skin, some blood still lingering there. What the hell? Cautiously this time, I find where I started to pull back on a hanger to see what pricked me. A broken hanger piece? A sharp metal point from the rack? No. Not even close. It's the shirt Danny bought, in the same olive-green color. And wrapped into its hanger is a beautiful, fresh rose, with a piece of paper taped to the top of the prickly stem. Confused, I take the rose from the hanger and pull the note close to my eyes. It's in the same scribbled handwriting like the one I found in her locker. I read it, look at the rose, then read it again and again and again: You two were so close. What happened? All because she killed a man? And to think... It could've been you. Ryan Steel should have a good life. He has a good family, a beautiful girlfriend, great friends, and popularity. But none of that matters, because his best friend Danielle Green might have killed someone. Danny disappeared in September, along with a successful young businessman known as James Wentz.

No one seems to know, except for whoever is lurking in the shadows and taunting Ryan. He quickly realizes that there is more to the story than he knows and ends up tied into the mess of the unknown, all while juggling a jealous girlfriend, drugs, gangs... How do you defend someone when they never deny being a criminal?Complete
His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
