Thank you for following me back.

You’re welcome!

The #street where it happened had a golf course on one side & country club on the other. The sun was setting. The sky was glowing in golds, pinks, blues. It seemed to flicker as if sending a warning sign. Slow down, don’t swerve, don’t even be here. But I was here & I always would be. #WIPSnips

Some say life is all about #balance. You have good times & bad, fun times & work. For me, it’s felt like every time I’ve been truly happy, bad things awaken. That’s why I decided to bury what haunts me. Not just the images but the words that create them. That’s when the past fought back. #WIPSnips

Each day unfolds based on choices. You go out to eat then stop to buy #trash bags and put gas in the car. Unplanned events shape your life. Because on the way home a squirrel runs onto the road, you panic, you swerve to not hit it. One minute earlier or later, it wouldn’t have happened. #WIPSnips

I don’t need you to #apologize. I did this to myself. I thought burying the words that upset me would save me from pain, but the words are what I need to survive. I am writing more and more, describing in detail what happened. With each sentence, the shadows grow dimmer, less active. #WIPSnips

Thank you!

You always think you have to #bail me out. Not this time. The shadows are getting closer, deeper, braver, distracting me, trying to make me lose focus. I tried to speak today but the words would not leave my lips. I can still put them on paper. I am safe as long as I have the words. #WIPSnips

Thank you!

Dear Marty, I sent you to the cabin because I believed you could #thrive there among the trees and birds and solitude. But it seems as if the isolation has gotten to you. Notes written in blood and dancing shadows? What has gotten into you? I think it may be time to bring you home. #WIPSnips

Thank you! ♥️

I stared at the eye of the #needle, wondering how anything could fit inside. It was then that the world began to stretch and sway. The needle suddenly loomed over me. The eye that had been tiny only moments before was large enough to walk through. I hesitated for a moment and entered. #WIPSnips

Things are just getting worse. #somebody saw me in the woods. I found a note on the back door of the cabin: YOU AREN’T GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. It looked like it was written in blood. I’m so nervous, I’m shaking. This was suppose to be fast & easy. Why did I let you talk me into this? #WIPSnips

I made it back to the cabin, praying I wouldn’t see anymore strange finger mushrooms. I stumbled twice along the way, too distracted to notice rocks on the path. If it wasn’t for the odd #sparkle of the trees, I would have tumbled down a hill. I’m just not cut out for this madness! #WIPSnips
