Gloria Watts says
I wanted to . . . but held back, my eyes misting – how beautiful she looked. I gently, gently reached out, until my hands feeling the softness of her skin squeezed, squeezed tight, until the room echoed with the softness of her last sigh.
Gloria Watts says
I wanted to . . . but how beautiful she looked, golden curls cradled by a silken pillow, breath soft, in the silence. I gently reached out, my hands circled her neck, tightened, squeezed, Her eyes opened, golden curls rose with snake like fangs to draw blood. Her face lit with a smile.
Adam Gooch says
The darkness crept in, closing in around her as she realized she was not alone in the abandoned asylum. The screams of tortured souls echoed through the halls. Barely audible above the sound of her own pounding heart, she could hear the echos of distant footstep getting closer.
Closer….
Paul Bahou says
The world ended on a Tuesday.
The world ended on a Tuesday, consumed in atomic fire. Skin and civilization burning; the Mona Lisa and the pyramids, dust. But I survived, me in the bunker. Me and the mutants, pustule arms pounding on safety glass. Bang, bang, bang. They hunger. They want my rations; they want me.
Paul Bahou says
The diagnosis
White walls glowed beneath florescent lights, the chatter of nurses peripheral. The oncologist moves with quiet haste. He sits on the chair opposite mine, clipboard flipping open. It’s positive, stage 4, spread to organs, terminal. I don’t hear what follows as he’s off to the next room. I sit, numb.
Priscilla Cook says
Missing River
We headed to the river, but the path was missing. The lantern Dad held high abruptly fell, extinguishing our light. I looked for Dad, but he wasn’t there. I ran back to the house, stopped in the yard, and watched our home evanesce.
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t like the scene.”
Wendy Montoya says
Empty
She’s in pain as she lay back; if only the doctors had listened, she wouldn’t be here in the first place. Her eyes flicker to the team of nurses standing next to the scalpel that would soon rip into her belly to remove the piece of her that creates life.
Angelyn Gumbs says
The sound outside my window. It was just after midnight; when I heard a sound that woke me up .
I then walk towards the window, The light from the full moon cast a eerie shadow on the wall. And that’s when he grabbed me.
Angelyn Gumbs says
It was a full moon night, when they went to the drive- in to see the new horror movie. But on the way back home that’s when it happens. Swooping down from the sky ; big black wings claws and fang on both ends . As it ripped they heads off.

Angelyn Gumbs says
With they beaded red eyes and evergreen scaly skin : Aliens from another galaxy far beyond ours, has just landed and have stake a claim to the whole human races . And there’s no escaping, I know because one has just gotten a hold of me .
Wendy Montoya says
Darkness
I found another bloody bite on my arm, I wondered why as I slide open the shower curtain grabbing a face towel, that’s when I saw her bloody lips. I smiled at my reflection slowly closing the curtain remembering that I am the Demon. I am her; she is me.
Vicki Mccokell says
Icy breath chilled the back of Steve’s neck as he tugged at the chains binding his hands. Sobbing behind his gagged mouth, he willed death to take him. Sharp nails ripped and tore at his spine causing the last nerves to twitch as he slipped into nothing.
Mowmita Sur says
There are portals to a different dimension. Something has created a way to reach the parallel universe. It was intentionally opened, and something came crawling out of it. The dog barks at nothing but can sense it. Something is watching you when you sleep. Don’t open your eyes!
Josh Taylor says
The echoes of my hoarse screams reverberated throughout the darkness of the pocket dimension. I slammed my fists against nothing as I watched through the sliver of a window. This false version of me smirked as he loaded a moving truck with my wife, my kids, my life.
Angelyn Gumbs says
The night when she turned into a vampire. We were laid out in backseat of my mustang. Ready for a make out session, she tilt her head backwards and the fangs came out. A bite on my neck, had me in agony. She had an organism while I was dying.
retro bowl says
His fictitious self grinned to himself as he packed up my wife, my children, and my whole existence onto a moving truck.
Angelyn Gumbs says
Laying in my bed in a conscious state of mind. When that thing grab a hold of me . I find myself grasping for air. It won’t let go of me, fighting and screaming at the top of my lungs. Oh God ! “Save me ; I’m so not ready to die.! “
Don Stewart says
He stared at the hole in his glove, watching a tiny rose blossom beneath the latex. A pinprick, nothing more. But enough. Enough to know exactly how Sleeping Beauty felt, only he was wide awake, watching as everything he knew, glove, finger, blood, rose, lost its name, its meaning…
Patricia Fajnor says
Midnight approaches and the threat of slow death shatters your skull. Sweat burns like heat lamps on your skin while soundlessly, you prepare to honor the departed souls. But will you? One minute before Halloween, if you breath in more air than the person closest to you, you will suffocate.

Isaac A Magers says
A long, dark hallway. The creak of a door, a whisper in an ear, a howl of a wolf. You step inside. Quiet breathing behind you as it fades to black… You wake up. Darkness. You scream. Echos. You realize there is no escape. Terror. It is so Dark.
Joseph Bueno says
I tried to run, but he dragged me and strangled me.
He threatened me with a sharp knife.
“Don’t scream, or I’ll stab you.”
Fear arose, I screamed, and the blood was already flooding.
I felt the pain as I saw my reflection while holding the knife in the mirror.
