Nightly Visits (Volume 1)
by Stephen HelmesBook Overview
Nightly Visits When you close your eyes, where do you go? What do you see? The moment you drift off into that world of the unknown, you are on a rollercoaster ride, speeding down a track that takes you anywhere it wants to take you. Often it takes us to places that we would never voluntarily go when we’re awake, into a world of darkness, tragedy, and fear. In this virtual reality world, you do things that you would never do when you’re awake, such as jumping from a plane without a chute, or opening the door to a room when you know there is something behind it waiting for you to enter. But dreams can also tell you stories of love, wit, and treasures. You may wake laughing, crying, or screaming, because your dreams know your weaknesses. They know your every thought, and they know how to attack. That’s not what Nightly Visits is about. THAT’S WHAT NIGHTLY VISITS IS! Pick a Color: Since the loss of his wife and daughter to a fatal car crash, Lee Hicks has worked hard, not only to earn a living, but to simply hold the final strings of his life intact. His entire world had grown stale. All this changes when one of his co-workers talks him into playing a childish game of wishes. Lee finds himself a winner. With this game, however, one wrong move can make the winner become the loser. Glasswalker: Krista wants to get back on her boss’ good side, but in order to do that she has a long way to go in a very short length of time. She soon finds out, in this nightmarish tale, that the highway has more in store for her than orange cones and dotted lines. Little Red Socks: With a tight-fisted boss, uncivil coworkers and a husband that doesn’t show the respect she deserves, Marie finds a tiny friend with a bigger heart than any human she’s ever met, in this witty heart clinching fantasy. The Witches’ Post: A young writer for The Daily Planner, thinks of himself as being awkward, but in the midst of his loneliness, he meets the woman of his dreams; or maybe she came from his nightmares. Indwellers: Something’s happening in the city of St. Clair. People are changing. Charles takes notice to these subtle, yet disturbing changes and realizes that it’s time to come up with a plan to protect his family from the darkness that is overtaking the city. But is it too late? Davidson’s Creek: What better way to treat your family than to take them on a camping trip out to God’s country for the weekend? The weather is beautiful and Davidson’s Creek appears to have it all: trees, wildlife, clear running stream, and peace and quiet. It seems like the perfect place for a family to get away, but it doesn’t take long for them to realize that Davidson’s Creek is not God’s country.
