Dear Readers

Fear not the Darkness, But What Lies Within, The recesses of our mind, The creepy cobwebbed corners,That lingers on and tickles us,With tingle feelings of alarm, The deep in the stomach, Pain we feel when we do warn, The fear is deadly it seeks, The deepest corner of our mind, It's just a story to alarm,Educate and provide entertainment for our minds. So read on dear reader, I hope you find the stories amusing and full of charm.

Trust is a two way street

Trust is a two way street

      Waiting for hours I stared at steel walls, the room windowless and as cold as you expected a government office to be. Finally the door was opened and a man sat down across the table from me.

“Do I need to explain why you are here?”
“Ah yes, I think you have the wrong person,” I muttered.
“You’re Delilah Redbone! You know why you here.”
“Spell it out for me.”
“Stop playing games were talking about your ability to walk through walls; your government needs your services.”
“If I can walk through walls why haven’t I left here?”
“They’re lined with lead that prohibits your abilities.”
Someone had ratted me out my ex-Geoff must have told them or was it my ex-Charlie who didn’t take the memory eraser from my friend Tina.
“So what’s the job?”
“We want you to enter the Russian Embassy and remove some papers.”
“Not a chance, bub,” I answered.
“The one-time payment for this is 5 million dollars.”
“If I do this, you leave me alone and never call on me again,” I insisted.
“Of course.”

       Last week I did the job retrieved the papers dropped them off collecting the money. My name is now, Cecilia Brooks now and I live in Canada. I stay off social media and try not to take good pictures from government identification. I work in a bank and borrow a few bucks when I need them. Lead doesn’t keep me out, one thing they don’t know. So if they get me I can escape. As for dating I’m not as trusting anymore so I have a new guy every night maybe someday I'll trust again then I'll find someone.
