Cathy Robertson

I have just begun submitting works for publication within the last year; however, I have been writing since I was a teen. I have had one of my short stories published in an anthology of short stories, titled "The Dragons Have It". The stories in it relate to youngsters coming of age. I am a 66-year-old kayaking grandmother of three 11-year-old boys. I have a very active life and enjoy many activities.

A Week and A Day

Charlie was scared, all right. More frightened than they could ever remember being. The razor-shaved hairs on the back of Charlie’s neck stood straight out as the deafening scream of terror rent through the darkness once again. What the hell could make this horrendous noise that tore at their flesh and flipped the heart into a mass of quivering gel? This, they decided, had to be stopped. “Aiyeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!” Charlie’s eardrums reverberated in their head. Their blood ran cold, and Charlie wanted to scream back in response.
