Pain filtered through hisContinue reading “Just a Dream”
- The Shadowby Tyrek ShowelsThey didn’t see him; nobody ever did. They sat around the dinner table, joking and singing or whatever, but Jack didn’t care, not now. There were 3 of them this time: a father, a mother, and a daughter. The parents were old, and theContinue reading “The Shadow”
