Be there for loved ones

 Sometimes people say they'll be there yet they aren't there. Tell you that they will help and expect something in return or not even there. Got ones that are there when it's convenient for them.  Sometimes you check up on people and they don't check up on you. Phone works both ways. Coming to see each other works both ways. People need to stop with the excuses. I understand life gets busy and things happen.  That doesn't mean you can't take 2 minutes out of your day to ask family and friends if they are okay or tell them you love or care about them. Life isn't promised to us. Have them BBQ 's, picnic,  go out to bowl, play games, sleep overs, movie nights,or whatever.  Make time for each other. Help one another.  Support each other.  Build each other up. Don't have expectations.  Don't expect things in return.  Be an ear to listen.  Show up or be there when it counts. Tell them you love and miss them. People aren't mind readers.  If you are busy just text saying I have life stuff going on or that you don't want to see or talk right now.  Many think they are a burden or bothering people when they aren't yet people make them feel that way.

Haunted Asylum

 It is Halloween and it is cold gloomy day. My friend Christian is driving me and a few friends to a supposed abandoned asylum. We like to talk to spirits and investigate. That is our thing other than when we jam in our band. It is storming on our way there. We had packed plenty of supplies before leaving out because we are staying the night in this abandoned asylum. The asylum is off some old dirt road in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas. I help Christian unpack the car with our other 3 friends. The doors to the asylum are unlocked and we take our stuff inside. There is no electricity so we have to depend on candles and flashlights. We try to figure out where we are going to camp out for the night and decide it's best to stay in the hallway rather than any of the rooms. The asylum was used for mental patients in the early 20s and 30s. There is no telling what went on in this place. We put our ice chest blankets and bags down before we start poking around. "Do you think

Secrets of Ancient Family Volume 1 (Chapter 1 first page)

  Secrets of the Ancient Family Volume 1 Secrets First page. Chapter1 It's a dark stormy night and everything looks so ominous. The clouds look dark and purple with a foreboding look. I am sitting in my bedroom with my girlfriend's watching horror movies and the electricity goes out. I light candles that are sitting on my nightstand next to my bed. It is the week before Halloween, and we do a movie marathon the week of Halloween every year. It has been a tradition for the four of us for the past 5 years. "What are we going to do now?" Anna asks me. "We can drink wine and tell spooky stories, " I tell her. " I thought we could talk about the Halloween party, " Jade said looking over at me. "Have we even sent out invitations?" Layla ask me. "I sent them off a week ago. We need to go shopping and set everything up the night before." Layla and Jade will both be bringing their boyfriends to the pa

They felt if they told anyone people would actually think they are crazy when in actuality they they aren’t crazy at all. Their secret could get them locked up in a mental asylum, so they kept it to themselves,so that they wouldn't draw attention to themselves.

It’s a three-story circular house with ten bedrooms, five bathrooms, a marble spiral staircase, a living room, a huge kitchen, and a study where there are books galore. Outside there are flowerbeds that circle the whole house. There is a stream that flows close by the house, but not directly beside the house. You have to walk to get to the stream. There are lots of wild flowers in the field by the stream. Alexis and her twi
