Bradley Fucking doctors. Can’t diagnose shit and I’m still paying out the ass. Bradley tried to hide it behind crossed arms and a half-zipped coat, but he was so bloated and sore he could barely keep his shirt tucked in. On the medications he was on, some water retention was expected, but that didn’t explainContinue reading “Part 45 – Doubled Over”

Kat “Tom, what the hell was he doing!” She put him on speaker so she could keep looking at the picture. It was a large corkboard, with pictures and diagrams of Crossroads Convenience and the surrounding area, multiple pictures of what appeared to be ghostly apparitions, and worst of all, her aunt. Her face wasContinue reading “Part 44 – The Image at the Center”

Tom It couldn’t be right. Tom found the address; it was clearly marked, no mistake. But it was not a house or an apartment… It was a storage facility. Rows and rows of rusty blue shipping containers, each marked with a bright white number. A sign at the front said it was private property, “onlyContinue reading “Part 43 – Contained”

Kat Setting aside her book, Kat took stock of her evening. It had been hours since Daisy and Lucy had left for the night. Not that either had been good company. Daisy still seemed unwell, even if she said otherwise. Everyone at the store looked tired; it was expected. But Daisy’s long, glassy stares andContinue reading “Part 42 – A Flash in the Dark”

??? He used to be afraid of the dark. The idea was quaint now, like most childhood fears, he’d outgrown it. It had moved from irrational to ironic. There, behind the bushes, sheltered under a starless sky, he realized he’d become the object of his fear. The very thing he worried would come for himContinue reading “Part 41 – Scratch the Itch”

Tom The matchbook was from a bar just outside of Blackstone. A seedy little joint called The Picket Fence. It faced an old gravel pit and adjoined the local scrapyard. The taste of rusty dust clung to his lungs with every tired breath. It wasn’t the kind of place he expected to find Rodney. AContinue reading “Part 40 – The Picket Fence”

Kat It was going to be a long shift. Kat watched as Lucy stormed off into the back room, the swinging doors fluttering behind her. They hadn’t really spoken since the seance, and this seemed pointed. Just another dance at the pity party. Kat, despite herself, almost forgave Lucy more times than she could count.Continue reading “Part 39 – You have to let it go”

Lucy “It’s not that bad, hun,” Daisy said, barely glancing up from the pizza she was working on. It was probably the worst thing Lucy’d ever done, and she didn’t even realize how bad it was until it was too late. What did that even say about her? That you’re a complete psycho. Lucy consideredContinue reading “Part 38 – Where are they now?”

Tom He couldn’t ride the line for much longer. Tom leaned on the countertop, elbows numb from the pressure. He hadn’t seen a customer for hours and was starting to wonder why the night shift was even a thing. Lucy had been distant, which made his shift go even slower. Whatever happened between her andContinue reading “Part 37 – On The Line”

Lucy She’d been debating for an hour now. Was she really going to do this? Summoning the dead was a simple answer; of course she would. But this was likely going to scare the hell out of Kat. Who, Lucy had to admit, was a good person. Better than she was, really, and at thisContinue reading “Part 36 – I See You”
