The Hollow Hunt
Every year, the small town of Willowcreek hosted its beloved Easter egg hunt in the sprawling meadow near the woods. Families would gather, baskets in hand, to search for the brightly colored eggs hidden among the grass and trees. It was a cherished tradition, a wholesome event that brought the community together. But this year, something was different.

Resurrection Sunday
The bell of St. Catherina’s Chapel rang out over the town of Black Hollow, its mournful toll cutting through the crisp Easter morning. The sound sent shivers down the spines of the townsfolk, who hurried to the chapel with lowered heads and heavy hearts. Easter was no time for joy in Black Hollow. It was a time of reckoning.

The Growl Only I Could Hear
My town was the sort where nothing happened. Law enforcement was bored, and as a result, parking tickets were pretty common. It was the sort of town where the only skatepark didn’t have anything more interesting than a half-pipe, and not more than six feet at that. It didn’t even have walls. And it was right across from a horse pasture, with an old folks’ home a block up and the elementary school a block down.

THE PLACE THAT REMEMBERS
They hadn’t seen each other like this in years—not all together, not without weddings or funerals as an excuse. Mid-twenties, edging into their thirties. Old enough to have jobs and habits. Young enough to still talk about high school like it was a country they once lived in and barely escaped.

Pyro's Spell, Friday, May 18th, 2007
“Here you are ladies, early as usual.” Anton informed his six gorgeous passengers. “Same time again tonight?” Anton had landed one hell of a gig this time. All he had to do was pick up six exotic dancers at the same place and time, then drive them 20 minutes down the road. Each girl gave him $20 to drop them off, and another $20 when he picked them back up.

Split Lip
At the hospital, the nurses have got those looks on their faces where you can just forget about patient confidentiality. Behind those raised eyebrows, behind the crinkled-up foreheads, already they’re cooking up the nicknames–what they’re gonna call you after you shed that paper gown and slide your legs back into those pants.
