A single cough. A single shuffle. A single breath. That’s all it takes for him to realise you’re there. A single sneeze. A single stretch. A single glance. He edges towards you, he creeps forwards quietly, masking himself in the emptiness of the shadows. A single roll of the eyes. A single kick at an unsuspecting stone. A single crack of the knuckles. He lets you know he’s there, now, although onl...
Ellis begins to write almost immediately after hearing the directions. He already had this idea running in his head, so it would be good to get some of the basics down in this 10 minute horror story exercise.
Recently, he watched _I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer_ and it was not good! Awful even. But the setting of the opening scene was interesting.
An amusement park. Lots of hiding pl...
She (though in truth such terms can no longer be used to describe it) sat on the cold, hard, damp floor of her cell. Her vaccant dead eyes stared out at nothing, portraying no human emotion. A ghastly ear slpitting grin plasteted on her almost skeletal face. Her body had become emaciated as the piles of uneaten food gathered beside her. Now rotting and crawling with maggots.
She didn’t flinch at...
My hand is tightly gripping a rose bush. The thorns dig deep into my palm. I feel his sweaty hand holding mine. His weight pulls me down, down toward the end of the world.
He glances up at me with tearful eyes. Those eyes were the first thing I trusted, the first I felt comfortable around, the first that’s seen the real me.
I won’t let go.
I won’t let go.
He gives me a soft smile before he loo...
‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all..
Unless one can keep that dearest love for eternity. No time capsule needed. No memories that will fade.
Each brunette strand plucked from your now cool scalp lay in my rigid fingers. Tangling theirselves with each digit like the night we first made love. A thought passes through my mind and there you are again, nothing but your...
Ezekiel’s stares were the first warning sign. Lust for violence is something that humans can’t keep suppressed, sooner or later it always bubbles to the surface for all to see. I could see the flames already, a golden hue in what are otherwise dreadfully unappealing eyes. He would lock on to me as I passed him in the square, across the aisle during a sermon, and even in my dreams there he was, jud...
I woke up in a bad dream, thinking about something that was unexpectedly unexplainable. I just thought i was hallucinating so i just shook it off. I went to school and ate breakfast there since my mom had to go to work early, I went to class and it was really boring learning about x and hard complicated stuff like that then finally it’s was lunch time. As i grabbed my tray i was looking at somethi...
The wind swept through the gnarled, old branches of my favorite tree. The one in our family’s front yard, right near the end corner of our lot. In the springtime, it bloomed with beautiful colors, and in the fall the orange leaves fell to the ground to leave what it looked like now in the winter: black branches. They were my favorite phase of the tree.
I was sitting there at the base of that tre...
“Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone” Gaspar said. The blood of his girlfriend’s finger that he was holding was dripping down his arm, and into his now blood stained white shirt.
The cut off head of Juliet was turned towards Gaspar, her now dead eyes looking into his. A look of pure madness appeared on the man’s face. No, not a man. This was no man anymore. The humanity in him was no l...
As I stared into the full length, standing mirror with the ornate wooden frame; I am somehow unfamiliar with the reflection before me. I gently press my hand against the cool surface as the stranger staring back mimics me.
When did I lose myself? Was it upon first glance into this mirror or did this happen long ago without my knowledge? If you asked me to remind myself how I got here, I wouldn’t...
