I had just turned eighteen when my parents first invited my older sister, Chandra, and me to join them on their traditional summer vacation. They never spoke about their yearly trips very much. In our younger years, they would typically say something like...
Renee Smith, the redheaded cheerleader, was drunk, and her boyfriend had long since abandoned her. And me being the nerdy gentleman I am, I offered to take her home. Some friends managed to get her into my car, and away we drove. As we turned into her dar...
"And with the blood of a virgin, the ritual is complete." A deep voice boomed out, echoing off the packed earth lining the basement of an abandoned shack. The ground level already sat partially collapsed, the elements taking their toll on the termite-infe...
About six years ago, my dad reunited with his high school sweetheart and a year or so later, they got married. I loved Janet from the first time I met her, she was a great mom to me and, if the noises that came from their bedroom on a regular basis were a...

I was startled to see Lisa Evans get on the bus. My girlfriend was not supposed to meet me until we got to Tilburn Woods. Then again, this was probably the only bus that stopped near the entrance to the conservation area. I guess I should have realized th...
