The Backseat

The backseat was scary. He was used to driving, or at least riding shotgun. He wasn’t scared they would lose control, or even that they’d leave him at a gas station one day when he went in for a soda. (At least that would force his hand.) No, what scared him was that when they made…

The Girl & The Scalpel

She started with her face. That’s where she felt it most. Well, maybe, but it was too risky to cut into her chest. The cage would sit an inch behind her skin like an internal cast. The cage was meant to hold back the pressure. She couldn’t take any more of the pressure. Desire would…
