Thomas found his room had been changed into a study of sorts by his mom, but his bed was still there, and most of his stuff, only organized differently… it didn’t matter he thought, as he dropped his bag on the floor and grabbed a clean change of clothes. He walked back down the hall… Continue reading Home (Part 8)
“But, more importantly,” Thomas continued. “Why didn’t you answer any of your phones? The bus never came, and I had no way to get into town.” ”Oh honey,” his mom started, “I’m sorry, but there was a blackout in the entire town. Also, my cell phone has been acting out… and I thought it was… Continue reading Home (Part 7)
If you’ve ever awakened from a dream to still feel that it was real and lost track of where you are complete, that’s how Thomas came into wakefulness. He slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself lying down in the middle of a large grassy field. It was daylight, and he looked… Continue reading Home (Part 6)
The figure facing him was that of a beautiful woman in her mid twenties. She smiled at him slowly and lowered her hood. “You look hungry, and cold.” She said in a singsongy voice. “Yes, but I just want to get home.” Thomas replied though the warm fire and table she was now beckoning to… Continue reading Home (Part 5)
As soon as Thomas knocked the door began to swing open on its own accord. The inside was dimly lit by a low burning fire in the fireplace. Wooden furniture was placed around the hut.

Thomas blinked slowly as the darkness around him flashed like stars. He wasn’t sure how long he had been lying there in the bottom of the gulley. He could see now it was an almost dry riverbed… he knew where he was, or at least close to it. He picked himself off the ground and… Continue reading Home (Part 3)
What did people do without smartphones? Thomas thought using it as a flashlight through the dark woods. If only his parents had picked up when he called the last fifty times. Even with this phone’s light, a heavy sort of darkness was clinging over the entire woods. It was the beginning of October and the… Continue reading Home (Part 2)
Thomas checked his watch. He was late but not that late. He had been waiting at the bus stop for the past hour, and he was beginning too think that the bus into town wasn’t coming. This was no good. He thought to himself looking around the nearly abandoned bus station. It has been years… Continue reading Home
August 25 Last night I had the strangest dream in my life. I’m writing this as fast as I can to prevent it from fading though it also, strangely enough, doesn’t seem to be. It started almost as soon as I closed my eyes. It, was almost as if I woke again but in a… Continue reading Dreamlands (part 3)
August 23 – 24? I guess it’s still Aug 23rd. I had the strangest experience today. I’m not sure how to explain it. First I fell asleep on the plane and had a dream that the plane lost power and began to fall from the sky into the cityscape of New York. Not being afraid… Continue reading Dreamlands (Part 2)
