Don’t Switch Off The Lights

Switch off the lights, someone there.

Switch on the lights, no one’s there.

Do it again; it comes closer.

Don’t switch off the lights.

The Struggle In Us All

Chapter 5 of 500

Within

Claws of no mercy dig into my flesh.

Eyes of blind fury.

Giant teeth of silver

sharpened to knife point, deadly.

The monster is inside.

Don’t be like Her

Tumbling down stairs were hundreds of dolls in floral dresses with their heads spun backwards. "Don't close your eyes." whispered one, "Don't be like us."

Hungry for People

The house had an appetite that couldn't be sated. It consummed every person who ever owned it, regurgitating and killing them over and over again.

Trepidation

The lights flicker.

Empty footsteps on the hardwood floor.

Knocking at the creaking door.

Pitch black darkness.

Bloodcurdling screams.

Who was that?

Oh no!

Me.

Stuck at Home

Family photos

Staring at me from each wall

I step back but can’t move forward.

They are reaching out at me. The photos are real.

when it stands silent

the pitter-patter

of tiny feet

or those god-awful screams

of her last moments

ghostly laughter

ringing in an empty house

sinister things hide in darkness

Till death doesn’t do us part

Any attempt at sleep is thwarted nightly as the husband she murdered materializes and rapes her, whispering softly with kisses, "There is no perfect crime."
