  Paranoia

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  Though it was usually associated with bad omens, strange tides and the playtime hours of wolf-man hybrids, she was glad for the full moon tonight, for it could provide no illumination that the flickering street lamps coud match. The air was cold, crisp, foretelling of a frosty dawn this Fall seas...

  The Revolt of Abigail Rose

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  I was conceived exactly three-point-five minutes after my identical sister Melinda. It is for this reason that I, Abigail Rose Meyer, am considered a second-class citizen. The conception was not coincidental, nor was it immaculate. It was pure science. A standard procedure to protect the fundamen...

  Zombie

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  How is this possible? The relentless question pulsed behind my eyelids. I’d forced them shut, trying desperately to stop the world from spinning. It hadn’t helped. “Abby, say something.” My sister encouraged, a reassuring hand placed on my knee. Desperation and hope lingered in those word...

  The Return (Part II)

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  By the time we awaken, it is dark and the sound of sirens echo in the distance. In the human world, ears would be peaked and eyes would be alert. But I am no longer in the human world –having being forced away from it earlier this afternoon- and so the warning sound no longer bothers me. Ins...

  The Return

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  It had been ninety-five days since I’d last seen him; that was ninety-five too long. Over three months of sleepless nights and lonely days. Three full moons. I kept a temporary reminder of the countdown; the number of rings I wear on each hand. Eight rings in total, eight months to go. Just...

  Teeth

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  The harsh light blinds me. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to protect them. Too late, the damage is done. I lie facedown. My ribcage groans. I part my lips, trying to inhale fresh, clean air. Instead, I receive a mouthful of dust. Where am I? I see the rotating fan, fracturing daylight from out...

  The Revelation

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  I wheel the old lady in front of me, careful to stay on the path and not snag her sticking-out feet on anything. A moment of forgetfulness and I might accidentally brush them on a passing flowerpot. It won’t hurt her –she’d wearing three layers of socks underneath those boots- but my eardrums ...

  Nightfall

  

  By Bethers, Cannock, United Kingdom

  “You can stay here.” “We don’t want to stay here.” “You have to.” Mrs. Phipps said, blocking the path through the doorway. Outside of here was safe. The feeling of danger crept Alexandra’s neck, flushing her cheeks burgundy. I’m sure that, if anybody had really looked, they’d ...
