Spook-tober 2025, Day #9

Haunted Gameshow, by Amber Averay Whispers whooshing through the halls, Memories seeping through the walls. Sounds of laughter, sobbing tears; Air redolent with hopes and fears. This place of promise offered much: Winnings gifted at the briefest touch Of a button, a buzzer, a ringing bell; Answers shouted in a rising swell. But nothing hereContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025, Day #9”

Breaking Waves Leo Driver I’m drowning. I’ve been crying, but nothing comes out, only bubbles that pop just belore the surface.  The waves were especially cruel tonight, the journey was smooth sailing the fortnight before this dreadful winter night. The day before was spent in victory of another successful trip, especially after sinking an opposingContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 11”

Paranormal Leo Driver Paranormal  Paranormal Parasocials: An established ghost-hunting crew of 20-somethings investigating hole-in -walls and local hot spots that not many would expect ghosts to be in.  They’re efficient in their work, despite their young age.

Death’s Siren My death was foretold long ago, It was something I’d always know. A silent clock ticking, But none of it is sticking. But those around me fall, Are they heeding my call? Every time I take a breath, I am the harbinger of death. Keep you distance if you care, Will you approachContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 13”

Breaking Waves The sea was once my home Along the beaches I’d roam But fear cast me out A wave of doubt I’m not a danger Yet they listened to a stranger My words they ignore I was their defense They die at my expense The demon is calling them home

Spook-tober 2025: Day 10

Paranormal  I hear their voices calling out They want help  Only I don’t know what to do Objects move unbidden The truth is hidden The veil is thin But I often spin  Between what I know And what they show My world and theirs are intertwined  I wish you could see it through my eyes.

I followContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025, Day #8”

Cat and Mouse Leo Driver A game of life and death. I am the mouse, but my cat is not would one expect. It is a dragon, a creature of myth that had risen from the grave of ashes and soot… And I live with it. Yes, it’s true, a knight in shining armor hadContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 8”
