Stacy Petty


In a Flash

Surrounded

The shadows surrounded me. Scared and shaken, I gave in. They were right. I was doing too many drugs.

 A ride home

A stranger gave me a ride to the next town for a piece of me I might always miss.

 Time flies when you’re having fun

Father time stopped by for a visit. Everything froze and there I was looking back at me.


Farewell Mother

Susan pulled the trigger and with one bullet killed everyone she had ever known.
