A mother's lament
Sanilla Tennessee is right on the Mississipi River. Its waters are green and murky with things often getting caught in the dam from the next town over. There's copperheads swimming alongside children that poke at the minnows. Baby strollers and bodies alike often wash up on its shores.

Jackson's Descent
Sanilla Tennesse is the type of place you settle once you've given up hope or had kids too early. It's cracked roads are home to speed demons and spinsters alike. It's easy to get lost there, both physically and spiritually. Most try to leave the second they can.

2 Scariest Horror Story
Story - 1: It was a dark, haunted night. The moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the only light came from the stars. The wind was blowing, and the trees were swaying. The leaves were rustling and the branches were creaking. It was as if the trees were alive and trying to warn the people of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.

Gum Shoe Blues
Gum Shoe Blues I'd been working at this thrift store for about a week before I stumbled across the box. I say working, but it's more like volunteering. I'll save you the gory details, but needless to say that I screwed up after a night of drinking and ran into a bus stop with my car. Thankfully it was three am. There was no one in it, and the judge decided not to ruin my life over a mistake. He gave me community service and told me that it better never happen again. This was ideal since, as a college student, I don't have a lot of money. I also couldn't afford to get kicked out of college for going to jail either. So, with thirty-six weeks of community service to serve, I sat about working for my local thrift store, Charlies Second Chances.
