The Baroness (Chapter Twenty-One)

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0500

Chapter Twenty-One: "The lido deck was filling up again, with once eager vacationers milling around the deck. Coming down from the bridge, Chad Stafford thought, without the torn and bloodied clothing, without the limping, the scene looked just as it had when they’d set sail. They all had their own experiences abound the Baroness, just as Chad and Table Nine had, their own special and individualized horror and stumbled like broken refugees, survivors of some awful disaster, wandering around the rubble in a daze. Well, wasn’t that what this was?”

The Baroness (Chapter Twenty)

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0500

Chapter Twenty: "But now, hearing his shoes splashing across the Lido deck of the Baroness, and the footsteps of those pursuing him, Chad felt the weight of knowing how out of options he was. He’d ducked in, around and behind, weaving through the rain and the many drink kiosks and activity stands the baroness once offered, getting closer and closer to the bow of the ship, and finally he was at the peak of the triangle. The elevated knife’s edge that was once slicing through the Atlantic. But this was no Jack Dawson moment. He wasn’t king of anything. No, he was being hunted like a rabid animal and now here he was, at the end of the line.”

The Baroness (Chapter Nineteen)

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Chapter Nineteen: "Wives had poisoned husbands, husbands smothering or strangling their wives. Drunken friends got into fist fights, breaking noses and necks. Knives were slipped into handbags and the pockets of sport coats to be used in the middle of the night. There had been crucifixions. It was exactly the sort of controlled chaos he craved. The type of hatred, manipulation and violence that could rouse him from his eternal slumber. This is what an ancient god expected.”

The Baroness (Chapter Eighteen)

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Chapter Eighteen: "On the lido deck, the knuckles on Donnie’s Fredericks left hand were stark white as he throttled the railing. He clutched the radio in his opposite hand with the same strength. Once, twice, he depressed the talk button, but let go without saying a word. Instead, he yowled, his voice dampened by the dense rain, and threw the radio overboard.”

The Baroness (Chapter Seventeen)

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Chapter Seventeen: "Teresa watched her husband pull the pistol out from his waistband, and hover it above Austin’s face. Marie’s attention shifted, and Teresa knew Chad wasn’t trying to scare her, rather giving her a not so subtle hint that their group had regained some measure of control. Marie’s hand was suddenly on Teresa’s knee.”

The Baroness (Chapter Sixteen)

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 10:00:00 -0500

Chapter Sixteen: "Marie heard it as she stood up. A tapping. Soft, rhythmic, like morse code. Something intentional. The woman clutched the cart’s handle and searched her immediate vicinity, expecting to find one of Donnie’s lunatic followers crouched behind her, a sinister grin and a gleaming butcher knife drumming against the metal of the prep table to get her attention before striking. She pictured him licking his lips.”

The Baroness (Chapter Fifteen)

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 14:00:00 -0500

Chapter Fifteen: "When the intercom cut out, the only sound was heavy rain pattering the waves and the soft whistle of wind through the sliding glass door. The blessed crispness of the ocean breeze was combatting the scent of raw construction materials and stale air inside the barren stateroom. Caroline could feel her own heartbeat. The rhythm pulsed in her ears. She could feel Greg’s hand, clammy and rigid in her own. The carpet less floor was hard beneath her and the half light of the ship’s running lights coming through the balcony doors was almost worse than full dark. The faint glow made the many shadows, the dark corners feel alive.”

The Baroness (Chapter Fourteen)

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 17:00:00 -0500

Chapter Fourteen: "None of the group had said a word until they were safely behind the long glass counter. Teresa eased herself down to the carpet, wincing, groaning, the rush of their hurried escape catching up with her. Her husband crept around the rectangular area, opening drawers and cabinets, picking up staplers, rulers, ink pens, then tossing them back down, hunting for some sort of weapon. Marie slid down next to Teresa, put an arm around her. She didn’t know what to say, or even if she should, but whispered, 'we are going to be okay'.”

The Baroness (Chapter Thirteen)

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Chapter Thirteen: "When they had reached the waterfall, they heard gunshots. The first sounded like a firecracker, then two more. Screams. Glass breaking. The whole situation was foreign, like Greg was watching someone else’s life. Someone braver. The fourth shot was louder, closer, and Caroline began sucking in huge breaths. She was going to hyperventilate. Greg pulled the woman under, then through the water, and they put their backs against the faux stone wall. He felt something dig into his spine. Greg reached back to find a door handle, and somehow, miraculously, it turned.”

The Baroness (Chapter Twelve)

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0500

Chapter Twelve: "Just under a foot tall, the stone sculpture was washed in a sickly green shade like oxidized copper. The passage of time, of being submerged in seawater, or buried in the sand, of changing hands, had eroded the sharp points of the wings, snapped off small pieces of the many searching tentacles, softened the once precise definition of the sculptor, but just to be in its presence was humbling.”

The Baroness (Chapter Eleven)

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0500

Chapter Eleven: "Oh, I’m just fooling about,” Donnie said. “Forgive me, I don’t want to take up much of your time, but alas, this needs to be said. Many of you have come to me or to one of my many underlings with wild accusations or totally misguided complaints. Seems many of you have fallen under some sort of mass hysteria. Like we, representatives of Celebration Vacations, are keeping something from you. Missing luggage or spouses. Inappropriate behavior. The list goes on and on. And honestly, it’s sounds like a bunch of whining to me. You are on vacation. Stop letting your imaginations run off into uncharted waters.”

The Baroness (Chapter Ten)

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Chapter Ten: "In that moment, Chad realized how profoundly little he knew about his and his wife’s safety aboard the ship. How little most people probably knew. And on the converse, how much trust they were putting into complete strangers. They were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, sealed within a gigantic metal coffin, with a cross section of humanity’s best, and worst, impossibly floating above god knows what lurked beneath the churning waves, and they didn’t even know how or who to call for help. ."

The Baroness (Chapter Nine)

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Nine: "The State of Wisconsin, especially in brutal winter months, felt like living on the moon. Not known for its mountain ranges, the area which many of his friends from other parts of the US called “lower Canada,” was redundant, one blank, snow covered field after another. This isn’t to say that Wisconsin doesn’t have its fair share of beauty, but when Austin Holt chanced a look at the barren farms from his upstairs bedroom window in January or February, his seasonal depression and the monotonous landscape coalesced into the stomach dropping crush of being completely alone.

Now, on the Lido deck, standing at the starboard railing staring at the last wisps of the sun dipping into the sea, Austin felt the same sensation. On a cruise, where the entire experience was to encourage passengers to relax, to break free of routine and depression, this was not how he was supposed to feel."

The Baroness (Chapter Eight)

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Eight: "During his many years of civilian medicine, especially in the emergency room, he saw the aftermath of car accidents and the slow devastation of long terminal illness. He’d seen the drunken naivety of trying to assert dominance over the explosive insistence of fireworks, and the sheer absurdity of what human beings choose to put in every one of their orifices, without a much needed plan of evacuation. Including his own, he’d been present for the birth of countless children. He’d seen both despair and untold grief as well as the joy of recovery in the same sterile waiting room. 

But still, after all he’d been shown, Chad was thankful he could still be shocked. As he heard his wife urging him to get up from his half eaten omelet, he was frozen in a sort of horrified silence, in awe of the scene unfolding at the next table."

The Baroness (Chapter Seven)

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Chapter Seven: "The Baroness had begun her journey.

They were underway.

Maybe it was this subtle rumble that woke her, pinioning from beam to girder, traveling up pipes and conduit, through kitchens and staterooms and supply closets, vibrating the bottles in the duty free liquor store and the poker chips languishing in their rounded wooden troughs. Or maybe it was the sound of the Baroness churning the water, its incredible tonnage beating down and stabbing through the waves.

It didn’t matter. Something had pulled Caroline Hooper from sleep. But she kept her eyes closed, as her first conscious thought was: where am I?"

The Baroness (Chapter Six)

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Six: "After the rush died down, and most of the cordoned off tables had been populated, a woman came hurrying through the main entry doors, looking a bit flustered, and it took Greg only a second to register her face. The Librarian. He watched her walk up to the hostess and move her lips. The hostess looked down, then pointed vaguely in Greg’s direction. He quickly looked around, searching for openings at other tables, but they were all full. She was coming toward his table, Table Nine. Their weren’t nearly as many souls on this ship as there might normally be, but this was serendipitous. Had to be. Of all the assignments, he’d gotten the same table as her. The universe was looking out for him. 

Maybe."

The Baroness (Chapter Five)

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Five: "While Austin felt stuck, imprisoned by the secret conversation, yet his body was moving. Like muscle memory, or a subconscious need to flee, he was wriggling he of the tight space between plastic chair and the video game’s glass top. His joints clicked and popped, even from being seated for a short period of time, and Austin waited, listening for the whispers to continue on, unaware of his presence. 

They did."

The Baroness (Chapter Four)

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Four: "The idea of a curse is nothing new. The covered bridge or the condemned barn, doors falling from the hinges, on the outskirts of your home town. The patch of woods where, supposedly, a witches coven met their violent end, or group of teenage satanists practiced gruesome ceremonies they thought might bring them power, or knowledge. Now, nothing grows, and the animals stay far, far away.  Do we find cursed places, or do they find us?"

Chapter Three: "This wasn’t the couple’s first cruise, and they were passed the point of being awed by the sheer enormity of the floating city, but the hallways on the stateroom floors were something Chad had never gotten used to. His door, number 220, was right about midship, and the corridor outside stretched on, it seemed, forever, in both directions."

Most of all, the cruise ship and the horrors the virus had created within its hull were just one of thousands, millions of stories emerging in the wake of the worldwide pandemic."

Austin had been chosen."

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Twenty-Seven: "This was the woman Denny had married, had misquoted song lyrics to on a beach in Florida. The woman he’d spent twelve hour days studying with, preparing for exams, who he’d escaped from a one percenter biker bar in Cheyenne, Wyoming with, who he’d shared joy, grief, and sweaty sheets with. This was the woman who’d changed his life, who made it seem like there was something to live for. 

And now she was hideous. A monster."

Chapter Twenty-Five: "Everyone, it seemed, was iced over, stuck in place, waiting for someone else to make the first move, to cause the last crack in the dam. 

And then a single, simple thought came to Denny’s mind: my wife’s dead.

It was as if this thought, this horrifying recognition, one that made the bile rise in Denny’s throat, was the final straw."

Mon, 21 Dec 2020 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Twenty-Four: "The low murmur of harmonizing voices drew Denny into consciousness. His head throbbed, a dull ache emanating from the spot on the back of his skull where he’d been struck, and he didn’t want to open his eyes at first, fearing that any light might make the pain worse, but as he cracked his eyelids, he saw that illumination was not only minimal, but it was coming from only a single source. 

The dregs of an afternoon sun stretched across the scarred concrete floor to where Denny lay crumpled against a plywood wall."

Chapter Twenty-Three: "Despite the rain pounding the windows and roof, the house suddenly felt full of life. Pulsing with hope. Kate awoke with a celebratory feeling, like it was Christmas morning. 

Both of her blonde labradors, Roxy and Echo, were sitting by the closed bedroom door, tails swishing on the hardwood. They too, seemed to be feeling the vibrance and excitement that lay just beyond. 

And then it was coming inside to greet them."

Chapter Twenty-Two: "Before he slid he key into the lock, Denny could feel that something had changed. He’d only been gone for an hour. Two, max. But he could sense the shift. In the energy, the atmosphere. 

Slender copper key pinched between thumb and forefinger, inches from the deadbolt, plastic motel diamond keychain swinging under his palm like a divining crystal, Denny stared at the fading paint on the carport door, and felt frozen. 

Behind him, the rain began sheeting down, seeming to close off an escape back to the safety of his vehicle."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 21)

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Twenty-One: "Getting out isn’t always as simple as we would like it to be. There are plenty of reasons why the “perfect place” might suddenly change into the space you desperately want to escape. A sudden infestation of unsavory insects or rodents. New neighbors that either like to blast K-pop until dawn, or who cover their windows with tin foil to mask the drug making operation inside. Maybe a new addition to the family brings the home to capacity. 

Or, maybe its haunted. 

You’ve got a restless spirit, or a poltergeist, hell, a demon, that’s making life unbearable. You can’t sleep, or eat. You can’t remember why you fell in love with  the house in the first place. All that matters, is getting out."

But don’t let the truncated time fool you. A shorter chapter does not mean it is any less important.

The House Unsettling (Chapter 19)

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0600

Chapter Nineteen: "Often, the problems in relationships are systemic, they fester and spread, infecting all decisions and forged memories. One wants children, while the other runs from the conversation. One wants to discover life living in the country, while the other can’t loosen their grip on city life. What about religion, politics? What happens when one partner has faith and the other simply can’t believe? What happens when one partner’s candidate wins the bid, while the other must concede?

Resentments build. Hurt feelings abound. Fissures become cracks. Cracks become caverns. When the schism grows wide enough, do you give up, throw in the towel, and bid some you once loved adieu? Do you say goodbye?

Or do you start building a bridge?"

The House Unsettling (Chapter 18)

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Eighteen: "Most of the time, when we lose items of value, we panic. We imagine scenarios where undesirables are flipping through the photos on our phones, or going on shopping sprees with out little plastic rectangles, but generally, we come out unscathed. If we re lucky, we find the phone or sets of keys between couch cushions. Under the driver’s seat. 

And further, most often we have passwords and security questions, failsafes to repel and discourage any unsavory activity, and most of these things are replaceable. Keys can be recut, credit cards can be cancelled and reissued, phones can be replaced, often with newer, faster models. For lack of a better phrase, it isn’t the end of the world.

 But what about pieces of your life that are irreplaceable? There are one of a kind souvenirs,  brutal losses that take time to get over, but I’m referring to living beings. Those that breathe. And bleed."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 17)

Chapter Seventeen: "Without the safety of a group, we are, in essence, forced to contemplate our mortality alone. In doing so, we have to explore our own courage, our own strength. We date, we marry, we form friendships often so we don’t have to wait for dawn alone. 

So, what happens when your support system is taken away? What happens when you are forced to go it alone?

Will the minutes crawl? Will whatever lurks in the darkness sniff out your vulnerability? Do you pray for sunrise?"

The Haunters and the Haunted.

The House Unsettling (Chapter 16)

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 23:00:00 -0600

Chapter Sixteen: "“I tried just laying there with my eyes closed. Even counted sheep for awhile. Can you believe that? Just pictured them hopping over a white fence, but after awhile each one started looking sicker. Patches of wool missing, frail. Others had broken limbs or were missing them all together.

They stopped jumping and watched me through the fence, like they were waiting. And I knew what they were waiting for—for me to come and put them all down. I couldn’t help it. Someone was inserting these images in my mind. 

The harder I fought, the worse they got. More vivid. So, I slipped outside."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 15)

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Fifteen: "What else can push a friendship to the breaking point? What else, beyond matters of sex and property, can snap that bond?

How about, even unintentionally, putting your best friend in harm’s way? OR forcing them into a situation that shakes their core beliefs, makes them question everything they felt to be foundational to their existence. Is that enough to break the connection? 

And if so, once they flee, do we blame them for it? After all, they aren’t bound by blood, so when it becomes too much, do we resent them for leaving us alone, once again?"

The House Unsettling (Chapter 14)

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Thirteen: "...most of what we think is a haunting, is just frustration. Nine times out of ten, what we perceive as malicious supernatural intent, is simply a spirit who has gotten lost. They’re stuck in a liminal space, and they’re actions in our world, well, they’re just trying to get our attention..."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 13)

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Thirteen: "We search. As humans, it is in our nature to seek answers, to formulate explanations to our greatest mysteries. Moreover, we want to rationalize our fears. But what scares us most?

Sure, there are the basics: fear of flying, fear of drowning, of spiders, snakes, and what might be hiding under the bed. We fear tight spaces and large crowds. We are frightened by germs and darkness. Each of these, of course, can be followed out to their logical conclusions—planes crash and boats sink. Snakes and spiders bite. That thing under your bed must have some nefarious intentions for you. Why else would it be hiding?"

The House Unsettling (Chapter 12)

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Twelve: "What happens when old friends stir up the very thing you’ve been shying away from? Your safety net becomes the trap door. Your friends become not saviors, but accomplices. The solace you sought in your friends, is suddenly wiped away, and now, you’re going to have to face it, together. 

That is the operative word, right? Together. Now, your friends are culpable and invested, and together you can overcome anything. Can’t you?

But, let me ask you this: is strength really found in numbers?"

The House Unsettling (Chapter 11)

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 23:00:00 -0500

Chapter Eleven: "The ghost slid down the hallway, pulling energy and shadow along behind. With unshod feet, steps barely a whisper, the shape jittered and paused, first in one doorway then another, before continuing on. A twitch, then a jerk, as if confused about its purpose or direction, the ghost almost slipped into the master bedroom, but stopped after catching its reflection in the large, square mirror at the end of the hall. Worse, it caught Kate’s reflection as well, staring back from the opposing end of corridor."

Chapter Ten: "An obituary is like Hemingway’s iceberg. Only ten percent is visible on paper, just like what was visible to most of the people who knew you. They don’t know the full story, but, like the obituary, just the highlights. No one really knows what fills in those gaps. No one know what secrets were kept. Just like know one can ever really know what traces of ourselves we leave behind."

Chapter Eight: "How often do we see a man, trying to convince the woman that he feels something, that, yes, it might sound crazy, but he believes the house is haunted? What happens if you are that man? Do you try and convince others, namely your partner, and risk being perceived as unhinged, weak, vulnerable, or do you keep is all inside, locked up, like every other emotion?"

Chapter Seven: "The decision to buy a car, or where to school your children, these can be taxing decisions for a couple, but to decide, together, that yes, our house is haunted, is an entirely new level of hard. And whichever direction you choose, together, will effect not only your place in this reality, but through the veil as well."
