Sure, he plowed into a few people, but it was an accident and he really needs to use the car that my husband confiscated for work!

My sister was murdered 5 years ago, and it was blamed on an unknown intruder and a robbery gone wrong.
I did my best to move on, but tonight at dinner with my family my heart skipped a beat when I looked at my phone and saw a new text from my sister that read "you know what you did, and you're going to pay."

[OCT24] I always told my kids that laziness would make their skin fall off, hoping I could scare them off their PlayStations for once.

My boyfriend always wanted kids, but we were young, so I left him alone with my dog for a few days to see if he was responsible.
After he texted me saying he was giving Milo a bath and asked where his towel was, I received a panicked voicemail, but couldn’t make out what he was saying over the blaring beeping of our microwave.

"You really shouldn't be out here all alone om the road, bad things can happen," he said as he reached for the knife.
His heart skipped a beat as the girls friendly smile became too wide and before he could scream she sunk her fangs into his throat.

But not being able to stop them from pulling the plug was worse

[OCT24] It was only a small bedsore, nothing serious.
My concern was the black widow’s nest inside it, but Google said those eggs take two weeks to hatch so I shrugged and went back to scrolling.

When I was treating my latest patient, I found small pieces of flesh among the contents of his stomach, and while I have worked with dogs who ate squirrels or other small animals, the flesh I found felt more human than anything.
