Spook-tober 2025: Day 7

Sudden Turn Leo Driver Twisting and turning—God, how did I get here? Oh, I remember. I was walking home like always. It was dark—it was always dark. Looking back, it was stupid to complain about the walk. At least I knew where I was—now I don’t. All it took was a slip, just one. IContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 7”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 4

Unwanted Guest I have seen things for as long as I can remember. Things others would say didn’t exist—spirits. Most of the time they just pass through. I answer a few questions and they go on their way without disruption or extended interaction. But, Benny, Benny is different. HE WON’T LEAVE! I’ve tried everything, andContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 4”

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 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”

Day 18 Seeing the video camera blinking in the corner left me deeply confused. Had I hit my head without realizing it? Nothing was making sense. “You’re watching me, but the fire, the man…he burned before my eyes,” I said. “That wasn’t real?” There was a dry chuckle that reverberated through the room at myContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 10 I willed my body to move, and was only served more pain for my trouble.  I was angry now! Panic fled from my core, and the rats scurried away as my heels slammed  into creaking wooden floor boards. “Why are you keeping me here?” I screamed. “No one is going to believe aContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 6 I hadn’t completely lost the rational part of myself. I skirted the edge of the hill, and made my way around the fire, slowly. The blaze itself wouldn’t hold the answers I sought, even though the crackling conflagration captivated me fiercely.  I needed to work my way back to the point of ignitionContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
