🌟  The Birth at Shelter 23 A Modern Retelling of The Nativity Chapter 1 – The Journey Snow came down like a quiet curtain over the city. The bus rattled down the icy streets, its heater wheezing against the cold. Inside, Maria leaned her head against the window, one hand resting on her belly, the other clutching a plastic grocery bag filled with everything they owned that wasn’t lost or pawned. Joey sat beside her, rubbing his gloved hands together. “Next stop’s another shelter. They might take us.” Maria gave a tired smile. “That’s what we said three stops ago.” He sighed, staring out at the blurred lights.

Survive! A Weekly Horror Series   The store was dead quiet, except for the hum of the old ceiling fan and the squeak of Jax spinning lazily on the barstool behind the counter. “Another record-breaking day,” he muttered, glancing at the empty aisles. “Zero customers. Zero sales. We’re on fire.” “Maybe if you didn’t scare everyone off with your sarcasm,” Riley shot back from behind the register, typing something into the computer that didn’t really need typing. He always looked busy. Always had to. Zane leaned across the counter, chewing on a lollipop he definitely hadn’t paid for. “Face it, this store’s just a front for our little secret.
