HEIR TO THE THRONE

He wanted a male heir. The twins were born seconds apart on both sides
of midnight. The youngest was named Dani. The girl's name was Daryl.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

She awakened with a pounding headache.
"Morning, Mrs. Delaney."
"Who's that?"
"You."
"What do you mean?"
"We were married last night."
​"What's your name again?"



HERE COMES THE BRIDE

The bride was twenty minutes late making her entrance. The groom lifted
her veil. ​The kiss made his skin crawl. It was his evil ex-girlfriend.

HEAVEN

The pearly gates were locked. The sign read, No Vacancy.

ONLINE DATING

Husband out of town. Finally found the courage to meet my Internet lover. 
​My husband walked in dressed in the outfit that my lover described.

TRAIL OF ROSES

Black roses marked a path from the door to the bedroom. The card read,
Love don't live here any more. Her closet was empty.

FIRE STATION 30

His unit responded to the fire. They found her lifeless body in the ashes,
holding his heart in her hands. They became judge and jury.



LIGHT, PLEASE

Trapped inside the white light. The demon is quiet, but I know
he's watching. The blaring alarm jarred me from my sleep.

GAMES THEY PLAY

The children were playing hide-and-seek in the basement of the church.
​Twenty years later, the saints are still trying to find them.

FAMILIAR

James was anxious for his father to meet his new girlfriend. Frank opened the
​door and gasped. "What are you doing here?" he whispered.

HADES IS WAITING

The earsplitting music moved the crowd like a virus. The rhythm and light worked
hand-in-hand to accomplish the mission. We watched as their souls descended.

BAD BEHAVIOR

She only saw him twice. Once when she flipped him off in traffic,
and then when she entered his office for a job interview.

UNSHACKLED

The children summoned the doctor to the room.
"Where is our father?"
"He left."
"How?"
"He walked out"
​"He hasn't walked in six years."

REMEMBER ME NOW?

He dumped her thirteen years ago. Fifty pounds lighter, he doesn't recognize her.
He's allergic to pecans. She prepared pecan-crusted tilapia for their dinner date.

ABRACADABRA

The magician forgot how to make the little boy come back. Pandemonium
swept through the audience. His balls crawled up inside his stomach.

TEXT WAR

Active restraining order. I sexted him. He showed up the same time
as the police. Next time he won't break up with me through text.

HANDLE WITH CARE

He watched the courier deliver the roses. She tossed them in the trash.  
He traced the outline of the gun in his pocket, then smiled.

SECRETS FROM THE GRAVE

The entire family gathered at the attorney's office for their portion of their
father's inheritance. ​His daughter's best friend entered with her son. "I'm sorry."

DO I EVEN KNOW YOU?

After his retirement party his wife asked,
​"Now, can you tell me what your job was?"
"If I tell you, I'll have to kill you."

TAKEN

Their fingers touched as he passed her the drink from the airline stewardess. When 
she awakened mid-flight, they were handcuffed together.  "Shhh, don't scream."
