• Happy Birthday To Me

  

  My thinking has been completely reframed as the day progressed. I woke up already entrenched in my trauma responses, choking on anxiety and this enduring feeling of unworthiness. The pattern of abuse that I have previously been exposed to doesn’t exist anymore. This post tracks my thought processes, and my awakening as I stepped out […]

• Him

  In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him. He is the silence amongst the storm, he is the calm when the noise becomes unbearable. […]

• Chaos Continues

  In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring. Instinct dragged her towards him, all her resistance dissolved. His hand, a slow pressure on her lower back. The warmth of him. Rough fingertips […]

• Merely Mortal, Chapter Four

  Luke was still nowhere to be found. Harriet paid for a taxi back to Gran’s flat and Alli gave the address to the driver. The journey took thirty minutes and Harriet sat in silence for the entire time, her gaze cast out and watching the streets as they rolled by. Alli studied her aunt’s countenance […]

• Dangerous

  A nightmare clings in the furious silence. Shadows reach as her imagination bends. There is a racing stillness in the twilight hours. Wickedness creeps with a lonely caress. Anything is possible. Everything is dangerous. Now there is a warmth beside her. He slings his arm across her, heavy and hard. She is soothed, content. She […]

• Drenched in Moonlight, Chapter Three

  

  It must be the smell, Daniil concluded as he watched his apprentice double over and wretch. The pup had an extra keen sense of smell which would have made the stench within that house, particularly the cellar, almost unbearable. “Jesus Christ!” Zach exclaimed, leaning on his own knees for support. “Jesus had nothing to do […]

  The paramedics hoisted the bed up into the ambulance and urged Alli to climb in with her Gran. She cast one last look up at the apartment building before climbing inside, wondering where on earth Luke had gotten off to. After being thrown through the wall by the black-eyed man she was worried now if […]

  Friday could not come soon enough. Alli spent both Wednesday and Thursday watching the clock and willing the time to move just a little faster. For the first time in her life, she was not making scrupulous notes in class, the blank lined paper gleamed up at her from her notebook, tantalising, teasing, but it […]

  She tracked Talia with ease, first to her parent’s house and then into the town centre. It felt liberating to finally be using her powers again, to be out on the streets searching and hunting, having a purpose. In all honesty there was nothing truly exciting about tracking a teenager around town, but the last […]

• Judgement Day

  I know where I was. Sitting on my parent’s couch and watching my good-for-nothing brother man handle a girl, so intoxicated that she was barely even conscious, towards the staircase. I watched him with wide eyes and my lips pursed tightly, knowing that I should say something, knowing that I should put a stop to […]
