Throwback Thursday

Two years ago I started this short story:

I cant see. Why can't I see? Am I blind? No, I cant be I just got my eyes checked; I must be in the dark. Wait no I feel the heat of the sun on me. That leaves one thing, I’m blindfolded. But who would need to blindfold me and why? A part of me wants to freak out but the other part tells me to stay calm. Yes, stay calm that will be best. I’ll be okay if I stay calm. At least I think I will. I felt around me to see where I was at. I feel leather so I must be in a car. Whose car am I in? I don't know anyone with a car that has leather seats. That's when I spoke up
‘What is going on?’
no answer
I know there is other people in the car with me. One is driving, obviously, and I can sense someone is next to me. I go to remove the blindfold when I’m stopped by the person next to me. They held my hands with a firm grip so I couldn’t do it again. The car came to a halt not even 5 minutes later. I heard doors opening and then I felt a strong hand grip onto me helping me out of the car. The driver I suspect because the other was still keeping my hands secure so I couldn’t take off the blindfold.
I tried, again, to ask them what was going on,
‘Why am I blindfolded? What is going on?’
silence
‘Why am I not getting an answer? Did y’all not hear me? Why am I blin...’
‘Dear god shut up, we heard you’ An unfamiliar voice cut me off.
I waited for him to continue but that was all he said. But seconds later I hear him again,
‘Let’s go’ He said pulling me to a walk.
‘Where are we going?’ Once again, no answer. I was about to ask again when I realized I was never going to be answered so why waste my breath?
We stopped walking and the man told me to take the blindfold off. I did as I was told and when I took it off all I saw was darkness, like I hadn’t even taken off the blindfold.
‘What the heck? Is this some sort of joke? Because it isn’t funny.
Next thing I saw was so unexpected.

Short Story Saturday

*Change of plans, instead of posting a whole story each Saturday, I will be posting half each Saturday. I didn't realize that it was going to be so hard to write a whole short story in just one week. So with that being said here is half of the story (title TBA): It was 1am and I should be sound asleep, but I can’t sleep when I hear mumbling and noise down in the kitchen. What could it be, mom was at work and Billy was at his friends' house? What if it was a burglar!? I quietly got out of bed and opened my bedroom door. As I go down the steps the noise got louder. -creak- I stopped suddenly and thought to myself ‘Oh shoot! I forgot about that step!’ I stood there for about a minute to see if I’d been heard, but the noise continued. As I proceeded forward I heard, what I thought was mumbling, crying. As I rounded the corner of the kitchen I froze at the sight I was seeing. Could it be? No, it can’t be. I saw a ghost, and the ghost was eating a peanut butter and jelly sand...

Short Story Saturday

I know it isn't Saturday yet, but I will be away this weekend so here is the other half of 'The ghost who ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches' a day early. All throughout the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened early this morning. I couldn’t pay attention in any of my classes and I even ignored my friends at lunch. By the end of the day, I was so tired from thinking and getting barely any sleep that when I got home I crashed on the couch. I wasn’t until mom came in from work that I realized I’d slept until 9. ‘Honey, are you okay?’ Mom asked. ‘Yeah, I just had a long day.’ ‘Well did you eat any dinner?’ ‘No, I crashed when I got home. Where’s Billy?’ ‘He’s still at his friends' house. Come on let’s go get something to eat.’ I got up off the couch and followed mom into the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and the first thing I saw was my dad. ‘Shit.’ I said startled. ‘What did you just say young lady?’ ‘Nothing.’ ‘That’s what I t...
