Annie sighed. I seem to be doing a lot of that lately, she thought. “What do you want to do?” Arthur’s voice interrupted her thoughts. She sighed again. Annie knew she had to go after the kids, at least make sure they were doing alright. They looked healthy enough. Yet, it was the right thing to do. “Guess we got…
Annie heard screaming. It was her voice. She was sitting on the floor screaming. Strong arms were holding her, a man’s voice murmuring something. Annie thought how nice it was to be held in arms that made you feel safe. Safe. What a minute, Annie jump up breaking the connection she had felt with the arms. “What are you trying…

Claudia wrapped the bearskin tighter around her. The nights were getting much colder the farther north she traveled. She should make a fire but was much too tired.

When I was a child, there was a man who jogged every day. This man was not your average jogger. He was not a tall man; he was rather short and stocky. He was dark skinned, had dark hair, and was the only person I ever met who had an actual cauliflower ear. He was always dressed in silk boxing…
