72 St. Margaret’s Way Chapter 7

James left work the second the clock hit four. No one was in the living room as he left, so he didn’t need to make any excuses. When he arrived at the wellness fair, he hurried over to Adele’s station. “I’m here,” he said as she turned around. Had anyone ever been so gorgeous? It […]

Living with Magic Chapter 15

I didn’t go anywhere the rest of the day. After days of being stuck here, I actually didn’t want to leave my house. Joel and I laid in silence at opposite ends of the couch, with our heads on the armrests and our feet occasionally brushing under two separate blankets as we tried and failed […]

I didn’t remember landing, but I must have. Because I was lying on the pavement, the scent of blood in my nose. It hurt but it didn’t, and everything seemed to be flashing around in quick, jerky movements. I heard someone yelling at me, something I couldn’t understand. Then a scream cut through the fog […]

Ezra didn’t come over the next morning. I was almost surprised to see that he wasn’t there when I came downstairs around nine. Gretel had left earlier and I’d slept in because fuck it, if I was going to be stuck at home one more day, I’d take the opportunity to do so. Me and […]

The next two days went exactly the same way. There was no sign of Declan anywhere, according to Reg’s sources. Every time I even went close to the front door, both Gretel and Joel visibly tensed. And Ezra was over fairly often, though I noticed nobody seemed to have an issue with him going to […]

The next morning, I’d finally accepted the request for me to take a few days away from the outside world. I told Angie the truth because, first of all, I don’t lie to Angie. But also, she knew what was happening already. She texted me back saying that if I could call the main office […]

My phone buzzed as we were walking to Gretel’s car. It was Angie texting me that she had the flu and there was no way she’d be at work tomorrow. She’d alerted security about my encounter and reminded them about it today, but she wouldn’t be in for at least a couple days. Maybe it […]

One thing we did have to do, though, was tell Reg what was going on. The Scarecrow Grille was probably the safest place in Salem, so neither Joel nor Gretel had any hesitation about going there. Joel invited Ezra too, and he accepted after Joel gave him big sad eyes for all of three seconds.  […]

Ezra was over when I got home a little while later. His shock of blue hair was the first thing I saw in the living room as I opened the door, stepping inside and hitting the deadbolt as subtly as possible. Thankfully, it was only him and Joel there. And Joel was far too occupied […]

Living with Magic Chapter 7

Declan didn’t show up to the Landmark Hotel at all the next day. Gretel was still unhappy about me going to work, but I’d promised to stay in touch and that seemed to comfort her, just a little. Not as much as locking me up somewhere safe would have, but enough that we were okay […]
