The night was falling, its dark cloak slowly covering everything in its path. The park in the middle of the woods was beginning to look desolate, with only me sitting on the bench, waiting for my date. This was our third meeting, always on a Tuesday, always at the exact same time.

My mind wandered back to our last encounter and what she had shown me. I was beginning to understand that life and de...

The town of Eldermoor was an unassuming place, with its quaint, cobblestone streets lined with weathered storefronts and old-world charm. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of crimson and lavender, a gentle breeze danced through the air, carrying the scent of autumn leaves and woodsmoke. Seventeen-year-old Lily Havens, bundled in her favorite knitted scarf, meandered hom...

I guess I was always a bit out of the ordinary. I’ve always gone that extra mile when people tell me no. Today I read a story about the grim reeper. He seems a lot like me. Misunderstood and working for things that aren’t easy. I did a bit of research and the only thing I found was a 12 year old girl. It said she killed herself as a sacrifice to him. What was intriguing to me was that when they we...

It all began on an unremarkable Tuesday, under a sky that was half gray with the threat of rain. Micah was sitting on a bench in the city park, the kind of place where people walked their dogs or pushed strollers. The sort of place where life went on in all its mundane glory. Except that Micah had never felt more disconnected from it.

It had been six months since the accident, six months of wakin...

Never has, or indeed, will a friend be as present in my life as death was throuout that unusual summer. It began with the loss of one of my classmates.

At adolescence we tend to let our worst impulses control us. Some people’s worst impulses amount to hate or even outright violence but by and large it will amount to sheer stupidity. I think if a person takes stock they would find that the most ...

Caleb was rather tired at the moment and in his bed. Of course, the poor man couldn’t get a wink of sleep with the paranormal party going on in his bedroom.

The music, a noise that only ghosts the paranormals could hear, was loud and pumping, the beat fast and hard. Flashes of bright light was weaving itself through his room like spotlights. The ghosts cheered and hollered to the music. Caleb clo...

I felt the chair give way from under me. I knew that soon, my misery would be over. I could finally be at peace, not to live in constant fear. My chest was tightening up, by now I thought I would be struggling to free myself. I guess this really was the right choice. The room around me started to look like a tv struggling to get signal. You know the ones where if you move the antenna just right th...

Tell me about the point

The point at which if shifts

Does it blur or grey

Or is it somehow more vivid

Does everyone know

The answers to the final question

Is it like this for everyone

5050?

Or steeper odds

Now you’re saying you don’t know

Like a taxi driver has no idea

If the train will arrive

But you hope I can find

my friend in time...

“Hey Grim?”

“What is it?”

“Will you one day take my life?”

There was an unsettling silence that filled the cemetery. I closed my eyes and I leaned back to lay down on the grass.

The Grim reaper’s eyes trail over to me, “I’ll let you pass onto the next life one day.”

I sit up and look around. Two children were skipping around the grave yard. One was skinny and was skin and bones, and by my gu...

Grimm, is it always this cold in here? He didn’t respond. . . . Actually he never responded. Josh wasn’t even sure that the spectre could talk. They had been like this for a while now, the two of them. A couple of years ago his cloaked travel companion had just appeared in the middle of the night. One moment Josh had been sleeping, the next he was being nudged awake by a chill that crept from his ...
