Lauren anxiously says, “Do you know what is at stake here?”

“What do you mean?” Crystal says, with eyes wide open in shock.

“I mean, you would lose your security deposit,” Lauren says.

Lauren plops on the orange sofa her dad brought on the day they moved into the off-campus apartment.

Crystal folds her arms in defense while saying, “I just…I can’t pour into an empty cup anymore”.

“My mind, my sanity, is at stake,” Crystal sobs.

*I always love the quotes that GIRLIE ON THE EDGE uses for her prompts, and I would love to include them in my post

“Make your own worlds. Make your own laws. Make your own creations, your own star systems. Don’t feel answerable to anyone, or as though you have to create after some preordained model. You don’t have to write like myself, or King or Anne Rice: be yourself. Nothing is more wonderful than discovering a new voice, particularly if it happens to be your own.” – Clive Barker

“Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.” – Clive Barker
