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 #15 – by Amber Averay (continued on from Day #14): Day #15 – Amber: My limbs were wobbly, my lungs heavy from inhaling smoke and ash, but my will was strong. It needed to be – I had nothing else right now. The weapons were secured to the wall, most high enough that theyContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
Spook-tober 2024
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”
Spook-tober 2024
Day #13, by Amber Averay (a continuation from day #12): Pressing my palms flat against the flimsy door, I gave a gentle, tentative push. It did not move, but the rickety frame around it creaked and groaned, as if even that slight pressure was enough to cause it distress. Hope flared in my chest, andContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
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 #11 – by Amber Averay (a continuation from Day #10): This time my return to consciousness was swifter, hitting me with the abruptness of a striking shark, and was all the more disorienting for it. My eyes shot open, light searing into the retinas and dragging a groan of agony from my parched throat.Continue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
Spook-tober
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”
Spook-tober 2024
Day #3 – Amber Averay Pumping like a bellows, my lungs were desperate for fresh air but every inhalation drew ash and soot; every exhalation was a tempest of violent coughs and eye-watering sputters. I paused a moment, light in hand, and forced myself to shallow, gasped breaths while attempting to see…anything. The darkness thatContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
Spook-tober 2024
Day 2 My heart refused to calm, but my feet moved me forward—almost without my permission. I couldn’t see the source of the ash itself and felt no heat, but my throat burned from more than just the exertion of the climb. I cursed the darkness as my foot caught on a root and IContinue reading “Spook-tober 2024”
25 Days of Terror
Day #15, Sundown – by Elizabeth Averay Ninety six years ago at sundown a monster stole through the little village, helping itself to anyone who it happened upon in the streets and gardens. Old, young, male, female – it cared not. It just nabbed whoever it came across and would either tear them apart andContinue reading “25 Days of Terror”
