I give credit to the leadership of two great gentlemen. It’s through the teachings and inspiration of Billy D. Edson, that this vast project involving these short stories came forth.In addition I wish to thank Pastor Matt Sparks for his generous encouragement and support.The stories offered here at no cost were written while I attended a small-group creative writing class, as a student and instructor, held at Highpoint Church, of Tierrasanta, CA from winter 2009-present.After spending countless hours working on the rough drafts, storyline, the design of these episodes, and their cover art, I can take in a relaxing deep breath of refreshing air, slowly exhale, and confidently state that these stories are presentable.I give thanks once again to these two great mentors, for taking the time to go over these manuscripts, and for adding their helpful insight and suggestions. I greatly appreciate the hard work and the dedication you each have interjected in the midst of this endeavor. I will always value, and hope to exercise, the numerous lessons you have taught me.--J.

Chapter One: Dead Creek Falls

Nate is driving upstate with his close friend Karen, both in their mid thirties, on their way to a small retreat town for the weekend to escape the stress of their everyday lives. Glancing over, Nate’s heartrate quickens, seeing his travel companion’s matured beauty, taken by Karen’s noticeable similarities to Jennifer Connelly. It’s been ten years since they last met in person. Reunited by social media, their estranged friendship picked right up where they left off.

Karen’s husband Ash, having met Nate early on, accepts that he can trust his wife and Nate alone together. Karen presented this idea for the trip; it’s something her husband agreed she could do in the process of working through their marital conflict. She leaves behind two girls who are at school, and a husband who is at work, when Nate comes to pick her up.

There is a dangerous aspect to Nate’s longtime high school friend’s personality, which emerges methodically. It is the source of emotional instability in her spousal relationship, and cause for neglect as a mother. At the core of it Karen is unhappy with her life and lacks self respect. Doubts question if circumstances would be better, had she gathered the strength to fight off Ash as he predatorily took advantage of her vulnerability (time after time) imposing this marital entrapment. She resents Ash for making her feel forced into wedlock.

At birth she’s named Kharon by her mom, her primary guardian; reared with her older sister. While growing up she would stay at her dad’s and stepmom’s periodically.

Her stepmom, Gwen, is a conniving woman, fixating her attention on Karen when she’s around. This raw energy strangles Karen’s optimism in her younger years. Embracing strong change Karen adapts Gwen’s behavior to become a similarly strong individual. More than just a way of life, this aptitude manifests into a supernatural power implemented by her stepmother through verbal abuse. Karen inadvertently nurtures the aspect’s thirst during her trying
