fiction
Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
Gail Force Winds Pt. 1
My grandfather's old farm lands hadn't been touched in ten years now, not since his death left it untended. It seemed a fitting place to escape my troubles now. My childhood home was situated at the edge of some 98 acres of land the old man owned, God bless his foresight in purchasing the defunct hunting club's property. I had been paying taxes on said land for five years now, my mother defaulting on it herself, prison time didn't suit the taxpayer well.

Eternal Night
The coldness washed around me, and I felt colder than the surrounding air. I glanced down at the grass. It was pretty green for a place filled with so much death. The gray, moss-covered stones scattered around the cemetery. The tombstones stuck out of the ground like crooked teeth.

Soul Snatchers
Carrie grew up in a small town that was just like any other small town. Her, her parents, and her brother Mike all led pretty average lives. She was entering her senior year of high school. She had already made big plans to move to New York when she graduated. She planned to get a place big enough so that Mike, who was only a year younger than her, could move in with her when he graduated. They had always been pretty close, even though she wanted to choke him half the time. He was her baby brother she had to look out for him. There was no way he could be trusted to live completely on his own. He'd fall flat on his face and end up back at home with mom and dad. So their plan was perfect and it gave her a year without him cramping her style. She could never get a date with him around.

I'm Alone
I have learned over the last 5 days that internet is my only connection to the actual world. The world you are in at the moment. The world where I was but not anymore. This happened exactly five days ago if I'm correct. I changed my clothes after a long day at work and I was ready to just fall asleep. And so I did. I fell asleep after texting my girlfriend good night.

She's There
I sat huddled in the corner waiting for the lights to come on. All around me people stood, chatting to each other like everything was fine. They all seemed unaffected by the dead body lying in the center of the room. Lisa's bloody, ravaged body. She was my best friend and now nothing but a corpse. When she first fell from the ceiling there was distress. People screaming and panicking. Security guards had scattered throughout the building to search for the murderer. Tears staining the face’s of nearly every person as fear closed in around their hearts. Half an hour later, when people were beginning to settle down, the lights went out. This renewed the fear in everyone despite some people’s desperate struggle to hide it.

Loving the Loveless
May 13, 2013 at 12:00pm Downtown, Charleston, SC Sebastian Kane It was raining again but that didn't really matter much to him. He didn't need the weather clear and pristine to do his work, in fact he preferred when it wasn't nice out. Less people were looking where they shouldn't when they had to avoid splashing puddles and pouring rain and speeding cars.

That One Dream
It was windy. Twenty-three degrees on my weather app and just perfect weather to walk outside considering how hot and humid the past few days were. It was just another regular day. I started by making myself a cup of coffee with a smoke on the balcony accompanied by gushes of cool wind. I did what I usually do, which is plan the rest of my day in my head and stick to the schedule. But today was going to be different.

Infested
Simon awakes. His eyelids slowly blinking open. He tilts his head to the right, his alarm clock flips from 8:12 am to 8:13 am. He swivels his head to his left half expecting to be surprised to see a young beautiful woman next to him, it's just his pillow. He looks up at his ceiling staring blankly at nothing. It's an hour earlier than he usually gets up, but he's up. Simon lifts himself out of bed and sluggishly totters his thin wiry frame to his bathroom, running his fingers through his short hair and it's forty-years of wear and tear. He flicks the light on, stretching his arms out wide as he yawns. He looks in the mirror, rubbing his pear shaped chin.
