This is absolutely brilliant, @samsmith1971. I was completely captivated! Storm chasing is risky business, but if I wasn't such a chicken, I would tag along with her on her research outings. I once spent

This is just gorgeous, @itsostylish. Full of vivid imagery and a captivating character!

This story had me sitting on the edge of my seat, @popurri. I'm so glad they found the baby! And what clever mystery-solving cat.

I love it when a story makes me laugh out loud. The guy in the dog costume on all fours just totally cracked me up, as did the "platter-sized paws." And that was after cracking up at the opening

Oh my gosh, I was reading through my fingers! This one was really super scary. The whole idea of a child being home alone and having all those bizarre things happening and then a creepy girl entering the

These stories gave me the shivers, @rammargarita. I could imagine someone telling them by firelight at a campsite, and none of the campers would be able to sleep that night!

Yes, I'm so glad my iPhone takes decent pictures! Thanks for stopping by, @jadeaca.
