Don’t Look

She wanders at the edge of the living and the dead. Dark hair, dead eyes, and cold, cold fingers. Dancing across your peripheral, she fades when you glance over your shoulder.

Closer, closer. She’s closer every time.

When her hand brushes your shoulder, you shiver, wishing you'd never looked back.

The Beach of Scattered Ashes

Don't take a hand full of sand

from the Beach of Scattered Ashes.

There, I swear, they mix with land,

At night, by moon, they dance.

But, dare disturb the dead's quaint life,

from the Beach of Scattered Ashes,

They fight with might all through the night

Until they reunite.

Lost Child

The rotten seat slowly spins in the still air. My boy's come back to the swing! I knew he would! I call his name. He giggles.There's no one there. I grab the rusty chains to stop their mocking screech. My empty hands are streaked with red. My heart breaks again.

Bottom of the Stairs

He raced to help the broken woman at the bottom of the stairs

But he gasped as his hands passed through her. 

Spectral eyes looked up, dripping hateful blood.

“You've killed me,” she hissed so bitterly. 

She smiled as a cold touch stopped his heart

There’s no such thing as monsters

One moment deeply asleep, the next wide awake, frozen with fear for no reason except that it was dark, I was alone…and the closet door was open. My eyes wide, straining to see what monsters might emerge, I was blind to the incorporeal hands creeping towards my neck…
