Missing

Mr. Green, I need to ask you a few questions.

You should be asking her the questions. I’ve told you before she’s a murderer.

Shelly Thompson died in the ICU two hours ago.

She died? Well, I didn’t mean to kill her. She deserved far worse but I didn’t mean to do it.

Let’s start at the beginning, Mr. Green. Tell me what happened.

You already know everything. I told you two weeks ago when he went missing.

Mr. Green, there was no evidence…

Yeah, save it! I’ve heard it before! I wasn’t going to let that monster get off on a technicality. She got what she deserved.

What happened at Ms. Thompson’s house, Mr. Green?

I did what I had to do. What you should have done. I made her talk. I had to beat her for hours to get her to confess but in the end, she did.

You beat her Mr. Green?

Yes. I beat her till my hands bled and I couldn’t make a fist anymore. But she still wouldn’t crack. I had to use a bat to finally break her.

And when she started talking what did she say?

She told me she did it. She said she killed him. She told me everything.

Did she tell you where the body was?

She said she buried him somewhere in the yard. I asked her to show me but she was blacking out and I couldn’t get her to come to. That’s when you guys showed up.

We have an investigation unit at Ms. Thompson’s house right now Mr. Green. If something’s there we’ll find it. Until then, I need to get your story on the record.

Look what do you want to know? I’ve been telling you guys everything for weeks and you don’t seem to get it!

Mr. Green when did you meet Ms. Thompson?

I’m not sure. Maybe two or three years ago. Why?

Are you currently taking your medication?

Oh, come on! Yes. Of course, I am.

How long have you been taking this medication, Mr. Green?

Two weeks I think. What does any of this have to do with my brother?

Mr. Green, we’ve been over this several times before. Dr. Shelly Thompson was treating you for a psychotic disorder. Two weeks ago she started you on a new medication that alleviated your psychosis. You don’t have a brother Mr. Green. You never have. He’s just a figment of your imagination.

Teeth

Matthew’s mouth was bloody and disgusting. He was cursed. On the very first day of his life, the doctor gave him to his mother after a hard delivery, and to her surprise, she found he already had a teeny tiny tooth. Her surprise was soon followed by disgust at how very ugly the tooth was. As well as all the others to follow. She made Matthew brush five, sometimes six, times a day. She made him floss and gargle with mouthwash. She routinely plagued the neighborhood dentist with checkups and cleanings. But there was no use. Matthew’s teeth were always crooked and discolored. Always bleeding and infected.  After many years of teasing by others in school, and even more years of study, Matthew graduated from college. He was very talented and quickly rose to the top of his field. Despite his appearance, he found he was very well respected and soon also found himself a very rich man. Still, the shame of his unsightly appearance followed him and he spent most of his days feeling very lonel...

Over the Bar

 "My dad told me that if you swing over the bar you'll turn inside out like a sock." "No way! That’s ridiculous." "Yes way! It’s physics. You just have never heard of it happening because it's impossible." "It's not impossible." "It's physically impossible man. No one can do it." "I can do it." “You can’t swing over the bar Cody” “Yes I can. I’ve done it before. Lots of times.” "OK. Prove it.” “I don’t feel like it right now Joel.” “See. You’re just saying that cause you can’t do it.” “I can do it. Just not right now. I've got a stomach ache.” “I dare you to swing over the bar Cody. I double dare you." Cody couldn’t turn down a double dare. He would be ridiculed for chickening out until the end of the school year. He had no choice but to give it his best shot. Hesitantly he walked to the swing set and sat down in the seat. Silently Joel watched the swing climb into the air. Cody's legs shot up...

Someone

There's someone in my house. I heard a window break and my front door creak open. Then the sounds of footsteps slowly entering. I can hear them right now shuffling through my home in the darkness. I'm trying to stay silent. Trying to slow my breathing. Maybe they'll go away. Maybe I can hide here in my room. Maybe it will all be ok. The footsteps continue up the stairs and I realize that's not going to happen. The sounds draw closer with every second until they pause in front of my bedroom door. Someone’s in my room. A filthy woman dressed in dirty tattered clothes. Her muddy boots leave footprints on the hardwood floor. I lie in my bed in shock and watch her slowly ease further through the threshold. Somehow, she seems so familiar. I don’t know her, but she resembles someone I do. Her eyes lock onto mine. I lay lifeless staring back gripped in terror. She says nothing and turns her attention to the vanity in the corner of the room. The woman sits down and stares into t...
