About a month and a half before Halloween we got a new neighbor. The woman is straight out of the 50’s housewife shows and the man is strange and his jokes are only funny to him. They have no children and no pets, well except for the raccoon that is always coming from their yard to get our garbage.

Halloween is a big thing in our town. There is a decorating competition and the winner gets gift c...

When I look in the mirror I too like everyone when I look in the mirror I see every flaw in my outer and inner self. But me I saw more than that and further than that.

I was a child when it first showed me it’s true self. I had always complained that my reflection scared me and my face moved when I looked at it, but they always said it was nonsense and the ramblings of a child but then this year...

I go to this pier when I am stumped on a case. The waters are so calm as if it knows it is the last thing some knew. Everyone comes here to end their life one way or another. I have been a detective with this small sheriffs department for 10 years and in that time I have covered twice that many suicides and all at this lake. This pier is where I come to try and get answers from the victims of such...

Old man Jenkins lived in a run down old house on the corner of my street. You hardly saw him during the day, but his house was always lit up and alive at night. I had been watching his house since we had moved in 10 years ago. I was convinced he was some kind of creature of the night and had even gotten in trouble last year for trespassing on his property trying to sneak in one afternoon.

Old ma...

My name is Aurora. I am born of a forbidden but none the less true love. I am going to tell you the story of this love. My father was an Angel in the Army of Michael and he was sent to keep safe the new target of the antichrist movement. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would fall for the one he was to save and then defy his Father and forsake his heavenly home for that love....

Last night there was only a dusting of snow on the ground, but this morning I opened my door and to my wonder there was a couple inches of snow. It was a beauty to behold. I was just taking in the beauty of the winter wonderland when my dog dashed pass my legs and out into the snow. Cooper loves the snow.

As I watched him run passed my legs and into the fresh snow, I saw another wonder. Heading ...

Revenge is sweet! Harry thought. Harry had been kept a spirit in this house for more than two hundred years. He was ready to move on. Why hadn’t he before now? He was being kept in this house of oddities by the owner. He collected strange and unusual and most definitely haunted objects. He didn’t care if the spirit was being held in the objects willingly or not.

Harry been attached to an old rock...

It is like my mind is wrapped in chains. I’m unable to break free. I feel weighed down with their weight. What are these chains on my mind? They are my memories of things that happened a long time ago. It is like they want to keep my a prisoner in my mind and body. Never feeling and never healing. When I see a chink in the chains I work at it with the skills my therapist gives and like a prisoner ...

“What? How could this be? I am the chosen one! Not her! I will fix this if it is the last thing I do!” The thought kept running through Sarah’s mind all day after the ceremony. She had worked so hard and been led to believe that she was the chosen one. The legacy of the chosen one had been in Sarah’s family for centuries and she had been groomed for this her whole life. Now here the ceremony was o...

A sudden gust of stale, ancient air slammed in the face with the force of gale force winds as I finally broke through the hard packed concrete wall that was the entrance of the tomb. I had been searching and digging for this tomb for nearly a decade now. This was the pinnacle of my career! What I would find on the other side of this wall would define my life’s work.

I stepped back not wanting to...
