“The water is coming,” I called out nonchalantly, refusing to divert my gaze from my computer screen. My deliberate apathy covertly masked my nervous excitement. “How can you tell?” “Can’t you hear the bottles rattling down the hall?” I replied sardonically, as if to accuse Tonia of being a total fool for not picking up … Continue reading »

A dagger pierces my right eye. I sit up, having been violently awoken from my slumber. I turn to my bedside table to check the time on the iPhone. It is 1:30 am. As I read the time, I have to squint my right eye to prevent the phone’s light from boring through my eye … Continue reading »
