The young girl hid in her bedroom closet on the second floor, shaking at the rising noises coming from outside her house. Her parents had gone out to dinner that night; they should’ve returned more than two hours ago. She heard her neighbors screaming as they were dragged from their home by the angry mob.…
Bunnies
February 3rd, 2011 I was twenty-seven again, but for some reason, I needed to go to high school. It was a beautiful spring morning at my parents' house, and strangely, the shower was covered in feces. No way was I going to use that, so I just put on some clothes and went to school.…
Madness
He couldn't breathe as pain and panic engulfed his entire being. His throat seemed to close in on itself. It was dry, and he began choking. Thoughts swirled in his brain as the terror took hold, and he curled up onto the bed. He lay there alone as he drifted off into sleep.

Hi. My name's Sammie. This is going to sound crazy, but I'm pretty sure that something is planning to kill me. I don't know what it is, but he's been toying with me for years. I say he because that's what I can most assume from its shape, but honestly, I don't know. What I…
Nothing to be Afraid of
Such a peaceful relaxing night it's been. Sitting there at your desk digging away through the splendors of the internet; or perhaps you're sitting upon your bed or a comfy chair sloughing through a good book. It doesn't really matter what it is you're doing at the moment. You could be working on a puzzle…
