The Thing {Pride Month 2022 #21}
Is that a brain in that lava lamp? A skull on his desk. Um… should I be concerned? This room is so messy it’s like a bomb went off in here and covered everything in a strange smoky hue… oh right I know what that smell is. I guess it’s kind of cool the more I look at it.
The posters on the walls of artists from yesteryear.
The dozens of action figures and LEGO pieces adorning his room look so int...
Mocked By A Mockingbird
The snow tapered off as we arrived at The Pineapple Inn, a bed and breakfast nestled in the woods at the base of the Pocono Mountains. Only a few inches of snow had fallen, just enough to outline the barren tree limbs and cover the ground with a thin blanket of white. Although we stayed at different places, my fiancé Katie and I visited the area every December to spend a long, romantic weekend t...
Package room
The package room smelled like carton. Carton boxes and boxes on top of boxes. Not the ideal place to meet a lover. It was not like the Bridgerton gardens where Daphne met the Duke. My affair was possibly the complete opposite of that- it started and only developed in the constraints of a DHL package room. What was worse than the impregnating, artificial carton smell was the tape. It would get stuc...
Chilling Wine Room Experience
The cold dark wine room that a waiter push me into had only two tables with two chairs each, each one equally as cold as the room. As I thought I had enough of this place I turn the door knob and surprise to see it locked.
I started panicking banged on the door screaming for help and doing that every five minutes. It has been 30 minutes since I came to the restaurant and 15 minutes since I went t...
Suspicion
Once apona time there was a girl who lived with her brother and they live in an apartment but just not any apartment he rented the scariest one it was full of random doors and cabinets that led to nothing but there was one door that was locked and it needed a key but they had no idea where the key was until one day they found it under the brothers bed and they were trying to decide if they want to...
The Restaurant
I wake up on my back, blinded by fluorescent lights, and with a debilitating headache. It takes every ounce of strength I have left to get off the ground. Everything around me is bright yellow. It’s almost nauseating how yellow it is. In front of me are two female cashiers with a wall separating them down the middle. The girl to the left is in a bright red uniform and the girl to the right is in a...
The Mirror in the Green Parlor
The room was composed of various shades of green. The walls, for example, were a soothing shade of sage green. An arm chair stood in the corner, draped in a forest green velvet. Curtains the color of leaves on a lily plant framed the open window, billowing in the warm summer breeze.
A child sat on the pastel green linoleum, surveying the emerald parlor. She, herself, was dressed in a crisp, whit...
Madame Thao’s Psychic Shop
Funny how some place we thought we’d never step into can become a part of our everyday lives.
“Miss Gates! What a lovely surprise.”
Madame Thao says things like this so often that I’m pretty sure she plays into the irony. Someone like her, not expecting a guest? That’s the sort of thing skeptics joke about. She could very well be winking with a smile, but a heavy curtain blocks the doorway.
I ...
The Unknown
It took a lot of effort to push open the heavy metal door that stood in my way of success. There were thumps on the steps as I slowly dragged my feet down the stairs. I didn’t know this room was here or what it was, though I knew there was a secret room somewhere. Honestly, I’m scared. I don’t know what’s down here. I’m basically walking into the unknown. Luckily I brought my shovel with me incase...
