Agonizing Decision
by Julianne Snow
Hate. Murder. Unspeakable abuse. Neglect. Willful ignorance. Apathy.
You run the gamut of these emotions everyday but expect me to be loving, merciful, understanding. I can no longer allow the pain and outright hostility to run rampant among you. I have to take control back, return things back to the beginning; a time when creatures didn’t understand what they could do to one another. I have made my decision, agonized over it as I’ve watched you continue to destroy yourselves and everything I’ve created through your hands. It’s time to take it back to the bedrock and start anew…

The Dead of Penderghast Manor
What would you do if you knew the Dead could talk?
For Chester Penderghast, it’s not the easiest of questions to answer…
Ensconced in the basement of his family’s mortuary business is the last place he wants to be, but when the conversation starts flowing, Chester’s the only living person who can hear it. What do the Dead want, and why is he the only one who can hear them?
This is not your average zombie tale—the Dead don’t want to eat your brains, but they will chew your ear off!
Spreading the Writer's Word 
Very ominous, an excellent piece.
Thank you Anita!
Even for a brief piece of writing, it leaves you chilled, making you wonder if Death indeed has these thoughts.
I empathize with the POV and LOVE this snippet!
Thank you Angela!
It’s definitely something to think about…
