Little Brother

I woke up this morning. I mean I really woke up. The fog that had clouded my mind the past couple of weeks had finally risen. My recent mishaps with the law had left me in prison and out the next day. Luckily my girlfriend could pay bail money. That didn’t change the simple fact that I had court in a few days.  Breaking and entering was what I was charged with. Who knew that going into a cemetery at night after if closed could lead to a troubled youth going to jail for the night.  I ran over in my head what I would say to the judge and jury my mind feeling confused. I had just wanted to see my brother. His name was Max. Just two weeks ago he got into a terrible car crash. I’m glad to say that none of this was his fault. He had just gotten his license and did everything right. The man who hit him was drunk and going so fast he lost control of his vehicle and rammed right into my brother. I was in the car also. I tried so desperately to save my favorite and only brother. My injuries were minor and could easily be fixed. A few broken bones was no big deal. Now Max he had it rough. They couldn’t do anything for him he was so badly hurt. I cried for the first time in years when they said he had died almost instantly. Everything we had been through for what nothing. If I knew I wouldn’t get in trouble that man who killed him would be buried 6 feet in the ground.

Amanda my old girlfriend.

Today while shopping with my wife I ran into my old high school girlfriend Amanda. I politely greeted her telling her how much she’s changed and that she was looking great. She disdainfully looked at my wife giving her the 3rd degree. "John, can I talk to you for a minute I have some questions" said Amanda looking to me and back at my wife. I shrugged "sure I guess" I said quickly. Amanda just stared at me. "I just can’t believe you, you are such a big liar." Amanda exclaimed brushing her hair from her eyes looking frustrated. I glance toward the floor trying to remember what all I had told her back in high school. I told her that I'd make her my princess and how we'd get married and have children together. When it had come to a point in our relationship that any reasonable man would want to marry the girl of his dreams I blew it. She had been crying, that day I was at her house she seemed so upset and confused. How could I make it up to her, I was married and had a baby one the way. She couldn’t tell that my wife was pregnant yet we had just found out. Thinking for a minute I decided I would invite her over for dinner to catch up with her for old times’ sake. “Hey Amanda, would you like to come over for dinner and catch up, I asked politely. She frowned at me walking out the store without buying anything. I would never see her again.

The Pizzaman

It was a cold and stormy night and out of nowhere there was a knock on the door, but who could it be, maybe Erika or Alex“Should we go check?” Amanda  said to Jeff as they looked at the door cautiously. “I’m not expecting any guests tonight though,” Jeff said.” Ill check it out”, Amanda says bravely stepping closer to the door.  Jeff watches studiously, preparing his body to move at a moment’s notice when they see it is just the pizza man standing outside the door they relax. Amanda gives him the pizza money. “SORRY I forgot I called him,” Amanda says. After a while the pizza man reveals that he is wearing a mask "I’m not the pizza man" the pizza man laughs. The smell permeated the air as the mask came off, rotting flesh wasn't a pleasant smell. What was under his mask was enough to horrify anyone for many years to come. Red eyes glowed from his face that was pale as a white rose but not as pretty. Along with the paleness scars covered his face; it was almost as if he had been chopped into many pieces. Another peculiar thing was that he didn't blink either. 

Jeff could hear a small ticking sound. “DROP THAT BOX AMANDA IT’S A BOMB” Jeff yelled. Without a moment left to think, Jeff tackles Amanda through an open window as the house explodes. Dazed Amanda looks up at Jeff, “H..how could this happen, she said sadly. fate...dealt us a bad hand today...Jeff said looking around frantically.
