it went christmas night, my small christmas tree lit up my coxpzy warm room. i was tucked into bed waited for santa to arrive. i was dozing off as i heard santa’s bells on the roof, then the rustle down the chimney. i’m going to be the first to catch him i thought. once the movement in the chimney stopped i crept out my bed and slowly climbed down the stairs. i had reached the bottom, there he was standing there eating the cookies and milk. he was fatter than i had thought, dirtier. he didn’t seem like the santa i imagined. i went to step down off the stairs and the floor creaked. santa turned around and stared at me with the scariest glare known to man. seconds after staring at me he smiled real big with sharp teeth and cookie crumbs around his mouth. she started to run towards me, fear ran through my body.

i’m finally allowed on social media at the age of 17. My parent were very strict growing up. i couldn’t do a thing. It made me a very contained child, I don’t talk much or have many friends in school. i downloaded instagram. Five mixtures later i got a notification “amanda.444 followed you”. amanda was a popular girl, I was surprised to see her follow me. I opended the app and followed her back anyway regardless of my overthinking. I started doing the dishes and had put my phone down for a little while, when i picked it back up i had three more followers band decided to make a post. i posted a picture of me with a 5lb fish i had caught blast wednesday out at my friends pond. Again i put my phone down and start getting ready for bed. 15 minutes later i pick up my phone again, “amanda.444 liked your post,” “ amanda.444 commented on your post “handsome.”” i looked my my phone surprised not knowing what to say. i respond back after two minutes and say “thank you beautiful” because she was. she was the most beautiful girl i’ve seen. i liked her comment so she would know i appreciated what she had said. after that i decided to turn my phone off for the night, until i got a message from amanda saying “ hey, how are you?”

My best friend Alex and I were sitting at the party intoxicated, passing a bottle of Jack Daniel’s back and fourth talking about life. He was sitting on the small piece of wood right next to my chair. His face lit up from the fire. he sat slouched over looking more attractive than normal. He looked over at me and smiled “Katie, can I please kiss you¿” At first i’m shocked but then i nod my head slowly. He grabs my face with both hands and puts his lips to mine. my body and my head rushes, as he continues. my mind tells me to confess. “Alex,” i say “i love you”. He pulls back and looks at me with a straight face. Finally he says “Katie i’m sorry i- i don’t feel that way”. My heart drops. Why did he kiss me? I look away grab my things and rush out the party to my car. He follows me.

The little girl wondered through the woods innocently near dark , singing and humming to herself. The crickets were chirping, the fog was cold through the air. She came apon a corpse looking women, with no hair, pale skin and her eyed were black and sunken inside her soul. she was reaching her arms out to the little girl telling her to come with her. The little girl wasn’t frightneded by this deadly looking woman, she walked toward her. She stopped in front of her and smiled. They sat together as the woman stroked the child’s face. Suddenly the woman became angry and the child became frightened. The woman then smiled very big with sharp teeth and them opened duo her mouth wide and swallowed the little girl.

I remember being absolutely terrified as my friend Jake kept speeding up on his bike, begging him to slow down, the way my heart was racing. How terribly bad I wanted off that bike. Jake continued to speed up with my heart rate, I began to tremble. Suddenly the cars in front of us came to a stop. Jake went to hit his brakes and his hand slipped off of it. He screamed as he turned the bike in an attempt to avoid the stopped cars in front of us. The bike slid onto its side as it slip my body across the pavement. I felt the burn down my side as my head rushed. My ears started to ring, and my surroundings started to become a blur. I saw blood running down my arm and leg. I looked around me for my friend on the pavement, he wasn’t there. I turned to my right and saw Jake rolled on his side against the tree. His body was twisted . He wasn’t moving or talking. I heard sirens. I began to try to get up but my body was heavy, I fell back down onto the pavement and my vision went black.
