Spook-tober 2025: Day 5

Fae Food Leo Driver Fae Food  “A table for two, please,” a customer asked the host. From what everyone saw they could tell it was the nervous man’s first date with the lovely woman standing next to him. They sent him a knowing nod before grabbing two menus and leading the young couple to aContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 5”

Spook-tober 2025, Day #6

Dancing Shadows, by Amber Averay The darkness protects him. He needs it. Thrives in it. People fear what they don’t understand, and sometimes the worst fears come from the things they can’t see. Or that which they think they see, but can’t confirm. Shadows dancing within shadows. Darkness pooling, concealing risks, hinting at dangers, promisingContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025, Day #6”

Spook-tober 2025, Day #5

Fae Food, by Amber Averay My head throbs, and is so heavy now I can barely lift it. Or is it that my neck is just weak and can’t bear the weight of my skull any longer? I don’t know. My neck hurts, too. In fact, my whole body both burns with fire and isContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025, Day #5”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 4

Unwanted Guest Leo Driver There was no invitation for me, but I arrived anyway. It wasn’t much a party, yet these people treated it that way. There wasn’t even any cake! Whose birthday was it? Hm? Oh! It’s not a birthday? What kind of party is this then? I didn’t see a lot of human’sContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 4”

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”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 3

Twisted Nostalgia Leo Driver 19 years. I have had this toy for 19 years. A simple plush dog that was once $5  that can now be sold for $50 on the internet. A toy that I have loved to death and more. Yet…do I really want to let it go? My friends say I should,Continue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 3”

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”

Spook-tober 2025: Day 2

Cheesy Leo Driver SEPTEMBER 28th, 2023 I love, love, LOVE slasher films! Especially from the 80s! They’re just so goofy and bloody that it just inspires me! I’m gonna be my own slasher protagonist!

Spook-tober 2024

Day #31 – by Amber Averay (continued from Day #30): Mocking laughter swirled about me, pressing in from every direction. The trees seemed to close in, the dirt path shrinking into a narrow ribbon that barely seemed wider than a tightrope. Dark clouds billowed over the horizon, slinking through the woods, filling the sky withContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
