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 I got to my office before the sun was even up. I just knew today was the day some dame would sashay through my door needing my help with some heavy problem. The large leather chair creaked under my weight as the sun began to brighten the room. The clock was tick…tick…ticking behind me,Continue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 2”

Day #27 – by Amber Averay (continued from Day #26): Legs pumping, feet stumbling over tufts of dry grass and ropey roots shooting through the earth, I questioned everything. Was this real? Could I really be racing along a dirt track, sucking fresh air into my lungs, or was I still back there, captive inContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
Spook-tober 2024
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.
