The Sapient
The Sapient by Cleve Taylor He lived in the deep, in the dark, at the bottom of foggy Little Crater Lake. Thousands of years before, he had lived in space, and it was totally by chance that he had attached himself to a small meteor that got caught in the gravitational pull of earth and crashed near what is now called Lintburg, Virginia, and created what locals called Little Crater Lake.

The Cabin on Dagger Lake
Ella slowed down on the heavily rutted dirt road to check her GPS. Well, it was more like she nearly came to a stop because the road was so bumpy and twisty. The blue arrow on the screen sat in a field of white. The only other thing the GPS showed was Dagger Lake off to the right. She was so far out of civilization that the device couldn’t even find a road. That was great for privacy, not so much for finding her way to her home for the next few months, or at least until she finished her next book.

The Only Escape
I just ran. The wind flowing through my hair. The salty ocean air smacking my face. I had no idea where I was going. I didn't even have a clue about where the hell I even was. All I knew was that I was not to let that maniac behind me catch up to me.

Camping on the Lake
Camping on the Lake by Cleve Taylor Jill slapped her neck smashing the blood gorged mosquito feasting there. She remembered her cousin showing her how by balling his fist he could cause a sudden spurt of blood into a feeding mosquito on his forearm and make it explode. As far as she could tell, her mosquito spray attracted the small voracious insects instead of repelling them like it was supposed to.

Sea Devil
Sea Devil It has been months since any of us have seen land, it’s almost like the world has been swallowed by waters of the abyss. Many of us have fallen ill, and it seems that our calls for help, and prayers continue to go unanswered. The captain seems mad, proclaiming that “Just a bit further now boys, she’s waiting”. We had all signed up to be crew to him in England, he spoke of it being the voyage of a lifetime, being a man, a year abroad would set your family up with all they need, and with this many of us ran to the chance. Work was scarce during these times, people were going hungry, and to be offered a prize like this, it seemed too good to be true. First came the rats, they had spread illness amongst us before we even knew it, then came the shortages with more being ill, our medical supplies were at an all low, and food was beginning to run thin.
