Alice Grim Rose

The day was chilly, I had to wear a light coat. The park was pretty busy, lots of people having picnics or walking their dog. I even saw a woman sitting on a bench reading a pretty big book, it looked like it was at least 400 pages. I always cut through the park on my way to my Mother’s […]

The sound of the phone rung in my ears, waking me up from my restless sleep. Who is calling me at this hour? I sat up and looked at the digital clock on my nightstand, it was eight AM. Much later then I first thought it was. “Hello?” I said with a groggy voice. “Hey, it’s Noah,” Said the voice […]

My Mother and I had to go to the police station to identify Grace’s body. I could say for certain, it was not a fun experience. Just to stare at her cold pale body, her dead body. Why did she have to die? Why couldn’t her kidnapper have let her live and just released her back to her family alive? […]

The next morning I went around and hung up a couple missing posters for Grace, the nightmares I had last night put me in a depressed mood. Why would my dreams want to torture me like that? I tried to not think about them too much, I tried to think of happier things instead. Like my date with Noah, he […]

I woke up and I was laying on the couch in my living room. What had waken me was the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and got up. It said that the caller was a private number. Who could be bugging me? I just wanted to sleep, all that worrying was making me exhausted. “Hello?” I said as […]

The walk to the cafe went by pretty fast, or was it because I was speed walking? Why was I so excited to meet up with a guy I have only talked with twice? He does seem nice, he seems like the only non-Grace related thing in my life right now. Which I feel like I really need something in […]

I grabbed a mug out of the cupboard above my head and placed it under the coffee machine. I can’t believe my own Mother made me relive that night again, the night my Sister disappeared. I already relive that day enough. And the way she looked at me when I told her what happened, it looked almost as if she […]

The next morning I felt a little bit better, my Mother brought over some freshly baked cupcakes. She always loved to bake. She stopped for awhile after Grace disappeared though, which is why it surprised me so much when she brought them over. Her and I sat down at my small round dinning table, it was made of a cheap […]

The street was dull and gloomy, it had turned into a crappy Autumn day. Seeing my uncle is always depressing, I should visit him more but it’s hard. Him and my Mother used to be the best of friends, until they had a falling out when I turned fourteen. I still don’t know why they hate each other now, but […]

I walked into my Uncles’ room in the nursing home, the walls were painted a stale beige and the room had one small frilly chair. There was a curtain pulled over the only small window in the room. My Uncle laid on the small single bed in the centre. He had a thin white blanket pulled over him. He looked […]
