Adventure

Hatfields and Macaws
Judy felt her heart beating out of her chest, excitement, nervousness, fear. Exhausted after two flights and now a bumpy ride in a beat-up battered jeep, roaring down windy, rocky almost nonexistent roads. Not much more then a goat trail. Her teeth rattled, feeling like a candidate for a concussion as her brain jostled in her head. Her driver and sole companion was a very stoic, silent local who was verging on being a mute. No more than four words passed between them since her tiny plane took off from Sololá’ and landed on the dirt runway that was cut into the Guatemalan forest, over two hours ago.

The Beast of Echoing Lake
“That’s not true!” Elia screamed, sprinting down the hill towards the bank of the Lake. She picked up too much speed and by the time she reached the water’s edge, her feet flew above her head as she splat, back-first into the mud.

Mystery Lake
It happened a year ago. Marissa had thought of it constantly, incessantly, every single day since. And yet, no matter how often she replayed the scene in her head, she hadn’t been able to make sense of it. At least, not “acceptable” sense. Not the kind of sense that logical society would believe as true. As possible. Until now, a year later, Marissa had been on her own when it came to the disappearance of her brother, Cedric.

The Secret Adventures Of Squeakity, part 02
Squeakity paced the circumference of her enclosure, her whiskers twitching to the rhythm of her rapidly beating heart. If what Tigera said was true, then it was terrible news. The pine shavings under her feet made little crunching sounds as she wiggled back and forth on her stubby little legs. After four or five lengths, she stopped at the northern edge and looked up at Tigera.

The Secret Adventures Of Squeakity, part 01
As the lights went out for the night and all was quiet in the room that she shared with the cats, Squeakity heard something strange coming from the room next to hers. The connecting door was open a few inches, but not enough to see through, even if she could see in the dark. From the open door leading to the living room, she could see the blinking green lights of the computer router. The hum of the heater and clicking of the ceiling fan as it turned round and round were familiar sounds to her. So, what was the sound she had heard?
