*ForeWarning* Depictions of death, loss, distress, and fear
Despite the worry of her best friend and co-worker, Gabriella, a lowly waitress, realizes that her past has finally caught on to her. After a past colleague reaches out to her with a compelling message, she becomes distressed when a questionable figure enters the prominent restaurant and leaves blackmail. Having recently suffered a head injury, she can not deny her connection to the blackmail and leaves to rendezvous at the chosen place. Only there does she realize that she has to make a choice, one with deadly consequences. In an unpredictable twist ending, Gabriella decides to take a shot in the dark, carrying the full weight of her past once and for all.
Author's Note:
There are not many stories that I have truly enjoyed planning and writing like this one. When I thought of starting with an innocent beginning with a waitress working at a high-class restaurant, a twist ending was inevitable. The story played out before my eyes just how I had intended, and I could not be happier with the results. Writing does not always come as easily for me as other writers I know, but only having completed this story in two months and seeing the results has encouraged me to keep working and practicing toward my goals.

Heart
Her name was Gabriella Quintanilla. She was a senior in high school during this time. She had the looks, all the boys, the popularity, the clothes, and even the grades. And in no way was she ignorant of any of these things--quite the opposite. She knew that she was above average in most categories of life, and had no problem reminding people repeatedly of that fact. I'm not going to lie---I didn't like her. Not at all. To be completely honest, I threatened to kill her with my bare hands. And the scary thing is, I meant it. I wanted her to die. I imagined dark fantasies of the light fading from her eyes right before my own, her pleading for me to spare her life. And in my fantasies, I wouldn't listen and I didn't care. She had tortured me for five years and I was utterly and simply sick of it all. Sick of her. My animosity towards Gabriella was no secret among my peers. Not many people liked her, so it's not like I stood alone on the concept. However I was the only one who voiced a threat. THE threat. The threat that got me on a suspect list in some cop's notepad. They want to know if I killed her. If they knew the whole story, would they blame me if I did? ©Copyright Timara M. Lewis 2013पूर्ण

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?पूर्ण
Children of the Dead
Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.पूर्ण
Revival
"Why is she so hard to let go of?" I close my eyes and shake my head, thousands of memories of us were whispering, telling me exactly why it was hard to let her go. "Because, Gabriel. Even though I never planned on meeting her I was basically dead. She came in to my life and changed it around. She's my revival." Sacrifice. A word with many meanings to many people. Many would sacrifice their lives for their loved ones. Kiiara did that and thought it was enough. But what she didn't expect was to sacrifice another big thing of hers... Her heart.
