Kasey

Peek

     Tonight I am going to go to a party with my husband, for Cinco de Mayo. For some reason he just has to go to this stupid thing for work, and I really have no desire to go. I want to get my laundry caught up, and make sure the kids have their homework done, and maybe even try to do the little things around the house that should be done. Sigh.

Strangers

As the light shifted, I could just make out his face. I could sense him and he wasn’t a stranger. I slid my gaze along the line of trees. I saw two more figures moving among the shadows. I was afraid, but my curiosity was locking me to the spot. I shivered as the breeze flicked along my arms. I inhaled deeply, the scent of the forest sending memories flooding forward. I could hear the sound of my quickened breath beginning to rise in volume. I glanced to where the face was supposed to be, and gasped.
