He ran to her, the woman caked in blood, a knife wound in her back. He’d only left to take a shower, he was only gone twenty minutes, the sound of the steaming water pouring past his ears and down his sweaty skin must have blocked out the sounds of her screams.
He ran to her side wearing nothing but a white hotel towel. Leaned over yelling, pleading for her to be okay. But after turning her onto...
The grime and muck slip down the drain as my cool breath leaves restrain.
I did well today, I did him proud, my actions I will scream aloud.
For his crimes he deserved to die, at least that’s the way it’s seen by I.
My reflection catches the joy in my eye as the swirling water slips down the plug, all the grime and muck and thick black blood washed away down the drain, as it leaves I am refre...
The screams of restless souls awoke me from my sleep.
I went to Father’s room and tried stirring him awake, but like always he was sleeping like his clients; the dead.
So I decided to take the call.
Grabbing my father’s scythe from off the wall and donning his cloak I swung the blade and tore a hole into the air which I promptly glided through.
What I saw disturbed me to my core.
A man stan...
Amber looks out the car windshield, out at the millions of stars that decorate the sky, but Robert is only looking at her.
“Isn’t it beautiful Bertie? All those stars, if only we could dance among them.”
“The stars are beautiful, it's true, but to me the most beautiful thing of all is you, my butterfly.”
Amber’s face blushes a deep red as she turns to look into the deep blue eyes of her boyfrie...
The cauldron bubbles over as the pounding on the door continues. Its silver contents slowly puddling on the floor as it emits a toxic gas invisible to the mortal eye.
“Ambrose, open this door right now by order of your King!”
Ambrose stands with his back against the wall breathing heavily, he’s cornered. King’s men on either side of his home, all calling for his arrest.
His crime? Curiosity.

Her face stared at me from the corner of my eye, but I was too busy getting ready for work to pay attention.
“Amber Harding, a sixteen year old from Wallis Chase has been missing since nine o’clock last night, the Met reported. She is believed to be in a vulnerable state, and anyone with any information of her whereabouts should contact the police as soon as possible.”
I carried on ironing my sh...
“Good morning, A.M.B.E.R” a man ambles into the dark laboratory. He flicks a light switch next to the door and the dozens of bulbs littering the ceiling come to life.
The man shuffles through a pile of paperwork as he waits for his artificial intelligence to respond, but it doesn’t answer.
He clears his throat and tries again.
“Good morning, A.M.B.E.R!”
Nothing.
The man rushes over to a com...
The wheels screeched down the corridor as the nurse pushed Justin to his new room. The man was no stranger to hospitals, he’d been in and out of them for as long as he could remember, and this stay though temporary would be more impactful than any visit he’d had before.
Justin could never get comfortable in hospital beds, the thin sheets did little to keep his body warm, but the stuffy room left ...
Pale as a spectre it stood before me, a painted smile and a blood red nose. Its curly pink hair is unkempt and wild. It stares right at me with its teeth out on full display. A balloon in one hand and a present in the other. A birthday prank I’m sure, but how am I to celebrate after fainting on the floor?...
