Empty House: Part 2
“Okay, let’s see what’s through door number two,” Kyle said, crossing the living room and grabbing the doorknob on the other door. The door was swollen with moisture and stuck in the door jam. Kyle had to pull hard on the doorknob to get it to open. When the door finally came free, a plume…

Empty House: Part 1
“Hey everyone,” Kyle said in his cocky voice as he started recording with his head mounted GoPro. In front of him was a familiar sight. Everyone in town knew about this place. Everyone he asked said it had always been here. Even his grandmother remembered the house being there, abandoned. No one knew who owned…

Future Warning
Today was not a day to be alone. That wasn’t because Samantha didn’t want to be alone, but because it was probably the busiest day of her life and everyone around her was fussing and helping and hurrying to do one thing or another. It was, of course, her wedding day. The sun had barely…

Raining Men
The skies were filled with low hanging clouds. That was good, overall. There were some who didn’t like to jump when they couldn’t see the ground but any cover was better than none, especially with where they were jumping. “We’re getting close,” a voice spoke over the radio. Everyone had their own headset so they’d…

Under Pressure
After a certain depth, everything turns to blackness. The only light down this far is the light you bring with you and the occasional blips of bio-luminescence. It’s beautiful and terrifying all at the same time. As the lights on the submersible dimmed, the bio-luminescence became more and more visible until it was all that…

Wolf and Badger
Smoke and ash clogged the air as the orange glow of fire illuminated the northern horizon. Snow lay thick on the ground but in some places it had been trampled so thoroughly that it was only mud. Frost was forming as night deepened in the ruined woods and in the distance the sound of cries…
