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 16 “As entertaining as this all has been—you are mistaken, and horribly misguided,” the voice hissed. I jumped and stumbled against the wall. “What do you want from me?” I asked. “Why am I here?”

Day 14 It was clear I was in some kind of underground complex. Why were there weapons? What was the fire. The more I searched the deeper the mystery grew. I was beginning to regret ever getting involved in all of this. I should have gone home instead of being such a fool. But, hereContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 12 I was able to crawl to my feet after some time and begin to properly explore the room in which I was being held. The floorboards were solid yet rough from the constant skittering of claws. No windows adorned the walls, but I could make out the dim outline of a door acrossContinue 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 #9 – by Amber Averay (a continuation from Jeanelle’s Day #8): There was a frantic chittering, piping squeaks, and the scrabbling that only comes with rats’ claws scratching upon wood. I tried to open my eyes, but they refused to obey my wordless command. At my side my fingers spasmed, and as I becameContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”

Day 8 What the hell is going on? My eyes refused to process what I’d just seen. There was no doubt left that this fire wasn’t natural. People didn’t just become piles of ash in seconds. The logical part of my brain screamed to run, but knowing I’d been spared yet again, only drove meContinue 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”

Day 4 I knew I should remain cautious, but my head was starting to spin from the panic and smoke. I peered through streaming tears, and finally saw the orange flames licking at the top of the hill over to my left, but something was off. There was a purple edge to the those flames.Continue reading “Spook-tober”
