Horror Stories

Halloween 2019
It's never safe for a young woman to be out walking alone at night. That's especially true on Halloween night.

Another 1000 word challenge. Swallow is short, very much like the life of the hero.

A flash story of innocence and love gone wrong. A groom's worst nightmare.

Halloween 2018
It was a Halloween tradition for high school seniors to stay overnight in The Haunted Shack. This year something different was going to happen. Old curses and lifted wards combine to make this a night of horror for eight 18 yr-old high school Seniors.

Inspired by the Hammer era of Vampire films. How I might have wanted one of those films endings to turn out.

A ghost story: It all started when I foolishly went through the wrong door. I could have been easily rectified my error by re-entering the building and locating the door I had originally used when I entered the building. But instead, I opted to find my way to my car by working my way round the outside of the building. A foolhardy decision given that it was the early hours of the morning and very dark. It was a decision that I was to regret.

My origin was a bad start. You can't imagine a more spoiled rotten mean little kid than I was. My story has a villain, but no heroes. I am the villain. No matter how I spin it or excuse myself, I'll never come out remotely heroic. I'm the predator, and the characters portray my victims. You won't learn much about them. Their character development is skimpy and stereotyped. Though they were my half-siblings I never knew them well so I can't tell what I don't know.

A strange woman magically seducing a slightly sad man on a train.

The tale follows five adventurers who venture into the Merciless Fortress of Water to end the wrath of the water spirit that threatens to drown the world. Their journey begins in a peaceful lakeside town, where they gather supplies and say their goodbyes. The fortress itself is a place of endless danger, where every step could be their last. With romance blossoming between some of the adventurers and townsfolk, the bond they forge will be tested by betrayal, deadly traps, and the lure of power.
