THE INTRUDER May 19, 2021ZACK“What plan?” I almost dropped my whole body on the floor as a pile of cold water flushed through my skin when Jackie appeared on the front door, sucking a lollipop with one hand carrying a grocery bag.Then seconds passed, Gabby and Lizzie followed through and stumbled to Jackie and they began bickering. But I and Finn stayed shocked and silent… I really thought that it was my grandpa.“Hey, you two! Did you just see Debbie twerked, you look ugly pale.” Gabby started as he maneuvered his way through the kitchen, not minding the fact that he was bumping us.Jackie and Lizzie stifled a laugh, “did something happen when we were out?” Jackie onc

 WARNINGMay 19, 2021MADDY I jerk and I didn’t expect my body to shudder tremendously when I felt his warm breath on my nape. The photos that I saw earlier flashed in my eyes like a flowing water the moment I shut my eyes. Because of what he’s doing, the fear I thought that I will never feel for anyone anymore, came back in just one wrong move by Santi.Fear and disgust mixed together.“Maddy was just curious about you, grandpa.” I heard Zack’s voice and his shaky laugh. Then seconds later I feel Santi’s presence farther away from me when he starts to step backwards.My eyes remained shut, I was in a serious catatonic state, that only my eyes can move. Because

UNHINGEDMay 19, 2021FINNI followed Chloe through the living room, when I noticed how she behaved anxiously in front of other people, I felt a massive amount of curiosity from her. I have also been meaning and wanting to talk to her, I want to know if there’s anything off happening in this house. Maybe it’s a wrong move to ask her, but she has been acting strange since the day we met her. And to add the fact that she’s the only trustworthy living in this house who may have witnessed something… hard to explain.I am aware that she has autism, Zack told us before. I know that people with autism tend to melt down when they are not being understood. But Chloe seems different from the others who have the same mental illness.I noticed tha

THE CONTINUATION...   I gasped for air as hard as I could and slammed closed the photo album, and threw it inside the box. I put my palm on my forehead feeling the cold sweat all over my body as the paranoia attacks me once more because of not knowing what to do next. The commotion outside still didn’t stop just like the clamoring noises inside of this closet. My head is being hammered by different thoughts and emotions and without thinking right I bolted inside of it, slammed my fists on the last box as I mustered all the courage to open it. And when I thought it wouldn’t get any worse I saw lots of stuff used by women--bloody and worn out, dresses, clothes, underwear, and different broken accessories and ornaments as if they were ruined by force. I held out a breath for a second st

CLOSURE May 19, 2021 FINN “Zack--” I tried to approach him when Santi left but before I could even put my hand on his shoulder he quickly raised his hands to stop me. “I don’t want to talk. Just not now.” He muttered, he didn’t look at me, instead he started trudging towards the stairs. “Zack let’s just--” Gabby tried to call him too but I immediately gave him a look that made him fall silent. That’s when I realize that I am being surrounded by people, specifically Santi’s troops snickering and shaking their heads at me as a mockery. I just stared at them in return before they decided that it was time to go back to their own business. Gabby and I were both left alone.
