Connor Fineran

I've been a lifelong literature and writing lover. I was heavily involved in the Undergraduate English Society at my alma mater George Mason University, where I submitted fiction for peer review as well as providing feedback to others. Currently, I am a member of the Reston Writers Review, a group of writers based in the Loudoun County area of Northern Virginia.

The Cold Place

When my parents disappeared, I didn’t understand at first. I always expected difficult things in my life to come later when I was prepared. But nothing could prepare me for what happened the day I found the hole under the couch.
It was September. I’d just started seventh grade. My parents were out running errands, so I did what anyone would do: I wandered around the house, bouncing a ball up and around everywhere that it could be bounced.
