Spook-tober 2025: Day 15

Casualty  I’m doomed to walk this place forever, And I will never know why. So much has happened, And I stood idly by. I wasn’t the cause, But I did nothing to assist. I thought it would never effect me, But I was wrong. I walked through the fire,  And got burned. I would takeContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 15”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 12

Once Upon a Midnight Leo Driver Once upon a time, on March 12, 2004, there was a girl in need of help. No one else came to her aid except for a fairy. This fairy came at midnight to her backyard.  The fairy claimed that it knew what she desired and would help her forContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 12”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 12

Once Upon a Midnight She spied the slippers in the corner. She couldn’t believe she was the owner. Those shoes brought her to a new place. Dancing through outer space. Her life was now complete. But, the shadows started to creep. A toll must be paid. She never should have stayed. But, the pull wasContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 12”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 3

Twisted Nostalgia I watched as the flames licked the dry timbers of what used to be my childhood home. My stomach filled with sadness, not for the loss of the building, but for the fact that it had taken so long to happen. I was forever jumping at shadows full of fear and shame. NoContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 3”

Day 30 I leaped into nothing, the log was a figment of my imagination. I hung in the air for a moment, and came down hard on my already injured ankle. I swore, and scrambled to my feet—was anything I experienced real? When had I lost touch with reality—or had I never been? I feltContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 28 A voice whispered in my ear, “Be careful what you wish for! Run little rabbit—RUN!” I pulled at my hair, and purple mist swirled around me… I screamed and bolted. I would not be locked up again!

Day 26 I was enveloped in a warm sleepy haze, but fear clawed at my gut. My eyes snapped open as a purple haze began to ensnare me. I sprang to my feet. “You’re not playing fair!” Insidious laughter followed me as I bolted for home.

Day 24 I was tried and nearly defeated, but I wasn’t going to let my captor win. I dragged leaden legs up an endless flight of stairs, and spat blood onto the sterile flags on the floor. I shoved the door ahead of me open, and was blinded by too brilliant daylight.  I breathed freshContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 22 “You are nothing but poison!” I screamed. “Why am I so entertaining to you?” The laugh sent icy fingers crawling up my spine. “You are so easy to manipulate,” it said. “I barely have to try.” An idea flashed in my mind.  It was a risk, but I had to try. “You mustContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 20 “And why would I do that?” The voice asked. “I’m not as foolish as you!” “No, you’re a coward!” I snapped. “If you weren’t you’d come face me—stop making veiled threats.” The chuckle was sinister this time.  “You don’t know what you’re asking.” I shook my head—reassured by cold steel in my hand.Continue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
