Previous Chapter November 19th, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA Swimming, II Kat remembered. She remembered all of it. And she had her answer. “F**k it,” she whispered to herself as she once more took that instinctual step. She closed the laptop, quickly putting back on her hoodie and grabbing her leather jacket from off the ground. Her mother, who had seen her only minutes before, raised her eyes curiously as Kat walked briskly past again, struggling to put the jacket on as fast as she could....

Previous Chapter April 23rd, 2011 Catalina, California, USA The Island “Alright, I think it’s recording now.” Kat turned to face Cole. “Oh, so you’re still doing the camera thing?” Cole smiled. “Yeah, I think it’ll be cool. We can go around the island, doing stuff, having adventures, and then get the whole thing on video and watch it later.” Kat nodded, and looked into the camera lens....

Previous Chapter November 10th, 2016 Mount Oswald, California, USA Cabin, II Lukas didn’t really sleep that night. He tossed and turned and covered his head with a pillow, and at some point he must have passed out from the exhaustion. When he finally came to, the sun was out. He rubbed his eyes and groggily sat up on the couch. The house was quiet....

Previous Chapter November 9th, 2016 Mount Oswald, California, USA Cabin, I It was an early Thursday morning, and the start of the Kinsky High Fall Break. Two cars lined up on the street outside of the Kawakami house -- one a cheap red pickup truck, and the other a family-sized yellow sedan. Aaron lifted a suitcase into the back of the sedan while Kat watched from the sidewalk....

Previous Chapter November 5th, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA Whitney Maurice was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a light knock on the bedroom door. Upon hearing the familiar sound he shot out of bed and opened the door, a look of concern marked across his face. His sister was standing in front of him. “It’s time to leave,” Emily said, rather calmly....

Previous Chapter November 3rd, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA All The King’s Men Aaron woke up yawning in his bed. It was a weekend, and he was consciously thankful not to be woken by a ringing alarm. He stumbled out, covering his mostly naked body in a cotton robe, and walked out into the hallway. In the living room was an older, slightly overweight black woman who was stuck in a yoga pose....

Previous Chapter October 31st, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA Halloween The only word Cole had gotten from Maria was that the theme was “Rock”. As in music, she had clarified. So Cole managed to get an old white rocker jacket from his closet, a sleeveless black shirt, and a pair of skinny jeans with a black leather belt. As he walked down the steps from his bedroom towards his home’s entrance, Marion -- who sat at her usual seat -- looked up from her book to spot the boy....

Previous Chapter October 30th, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA Haunted House Isaac woke up on a big, empty bed. For a few moments he set into panic -- his alarm hadn’t woken him up -- but after quickly grabbing his phone off the end table he realized that he had just gotten up early. With an acknowledgement that he wasn’t going back to bed any time soon, he got out from under his sheets, took a shower, and headed downstairs....

Previous Chapter October 25th, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA The Manor Ash jolted up. She was awake again. The girl got out from her covers, stretching in her bed. She wore a pair of dark gray gym shorts and a thrifted concert t-shirt that was two sizes too big for her. She walked over to her record player and restarted an album by The Cure that had been placed in there the night before....

Previous Chapter October 22nd, 2016 Kinsky, California, USA The Breakup The phone on Rose’s nightstand vibrated with its alarm. Rose, slowly waking up, groaned as she grabbed for the phone, pulling it out of its charger and turning off the repeated beeping. She wore a pair of gray sweatpants and a plain white undershirt to bed. When she moved into her bathroom to take a shower, she traded these clothes out for a maroon tea blouse and a pair of jeans....
