Her Dumb Honour

Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York. Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before. Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy. However, one by one, dark, buried secrets will be out in the open, leaving Karen over in the head after the realization that those she sacrificed everything for were not worth the efforts. Will she rise beyond the spiral of betrayals and vengeance, or will she succumb to them?

Hands and Feet

Pain. That's what Frank felt when he first woke up in a strange room. How was he to express the pain, and to whom? He looked around the room but couldn't see mummy. In fact, no one else was in the room.

He thought he could cry. Wasn't that how he communicated with mummy and she understood? He could cry, and mommy would appear and make the pain he was feeling go away. He started crying, slowly at first and then loud enough to wake the dead.

He heard footsteps approaching and sniffled his cries, but upon seeing who was before him and not recognizing her, he continued crying. The woman approached the bed, walked up to Frank, put her right index finger on her mouth, and said, "Sshh." 

However, Frank wouldn't stop crying, so the woman took him into her arms and walked with him around the room, asking him to be quiet.
