I knew there was something off about the room; the shadows that were shaped like skulls; the occasional bone you found underneath chairs; the faint whine of an unknown animal, and the scraping of claws from the dark corners of the room.

The Tapping From The Walls

I never questioned the tapping in the walls (I had always assumed it was just creaking boards) until the day I woke up with a hand around my throat and a rag smothered in chloroform over my face.

Lucifer’s Conspiracy

Lucifer thought smugly, "Here it is, 2015 on Earth, the age of science, technology, and spiritual skepticism, and here I have maintained control over humanity's consciousness and fate these past 20,000 years - and the best part of it is that the world's most powerful agents and institutions are my mere puppets, and only mine, and so, there is no hope for goodness and decency to overcome my domination and will."

Opening To a Horror Story

The blood on the white tiled floor told them there was something wrong, but if one paid closer attention they'd find several other things as well: the smell of death and decay, a knife in one of the shadowy corners of the hallway, the faint whispers that seems to be in the wind all around. And last but not least: the feeling of being watched, so profound that they each felt it on their skin.

Nefertiti’s Taboo

Amid ground beef and cheese, her chili was pointing at her and somewhere inside her the forbidden desire to consume flesh was burning; and, she took an indulgent bite without any care.

Sometimes when I go to sleep at night I see a lady hanging from my ceiling with a braid around her neck.

Reach for the Light

Dust danced the light cast through the old window, my wrists burned from the involuntary desire that pulled from cutting binds to reach for the light.

Doctor Crippen’s Hour

Outwardly, he appeared a normal, if odd looking medical man, but the instruments at his surgery were not used for healing.
