The warnings my mother gave me are far beyond what the typical woman experiences. Instead of predatory men lurking around trying to catch their next meal, I deal with otherworldly forces beyond the imaginings of others. Crystals, vials of salt, ancient markings burned into my skin repel these creatures, but they donāt hide me from the knowledge of bad intentions. Their malice is made known through...
I hate working nights.
Thereās so much thatās inconvenient about it. The sleep schedule shift, the fact that nothing is open should you like to buy something, and there is this odd sort of unreality in the atmosphere. Itās a feeling of isolation. I work for a telecom company that handles emergency repairs and things break at all hours of the day so itās not uncommon that I may have to work night...
āOk next time i'm paying for drinks, you sneaky gentlemenā Matt punches me on the shoulder.Ā
Grinning back at him. āDon't get used to it princess, it was only a nice bonus. Iām back to ramen in a few weeks.ā waving goodbye as i start the half mile walk back to my apartment. Whoever thought engineers were on par with lawyers and doctors can kick rocks for telling me that as a kid. If that were the...
As I concluded my summer housekeeping duties at the charming Sun Valley Inn in Franklin, Vermont, I couldn't help but revel in the early onset of autumn. Unlike the urban landscape of my hometown, Hoboken, New Jersey, the vibrant hues of the changing foliage in Vermont painted a captivating and picturesque panorama.
Exiting room 19, the final stop on my evening rounds at the quaint yellow motel n...
The street light was out. Only one of them, but it was next to a shady alley. The gaping maw of the passage looked before me as I creeped closer. I was alone, heading home from a party.
Itās seemed the smart decision; walking home instead of driving. I had been drinking and couldnāt afford points on my license. Now though, looking at the shadowy entrance before me, I wonder if I should have riske...
Sam, donāt walk home alone. Itās a long ways and itās dangerous said his friend Janet. Awww I do all the time it will be ok.
Sam, if you must walk go straight home. Sure! Iāll be home in no time. Sam, took off walking, but before long he was starting to walk fast, for there seemed to be a strange person following him. Sam, got nueves and started running. He ran for a while before he realized that ...
Women, join me, sing this song,
I promise it wonāt take long.
I'm going out, dut dut, dut dut. I'm going out.
Phone check, wallet check, keys check, taser?
Iām going out, dut dut, dut dut Iām going out.
Phone check, wallet check, keys check, knife?
I'm going out, dut dut, dut dut, I'm going out.
Phone check, wallet check, keys check, whistle?
I'm going out, dut dut, dut dut, Iām going out....
āGirrrrlllll, this party was everythingā!
āWho you telling?ā
āI needed this. This semester has been super stressful.ā
āYea, you stupid for taking all them classes.ā
āBitch, shut up! Iām trying to graduate early!ā
āTaking all them classes you must be trying to graduate late!ā They both burst into laughter.
āWell, I gotta get back to my dorm before I do something stupid. Steve looking real good a...
TW: Dark thoughts
Donāt walk home alone
For that is when the monsters strike
Hidden around the corner
Or deep inside your mind
Left to your thoughts
Your own devices
The what ifs
Internal actinomyces
Alone is when the walls cave in
Your truest, scariest self
scars and all
Archived in a mental bookshelf
You canāt help but check out a book
Explore whatās inside
Because when the mind wanders
T...
Donāt walk home aloneā¦ for it follows at night. It even lingers out of sight. āWhat is it?ā You may ask. Eyes wide open yet the path ahead is dark and blight.
The cobble roads and winding path are an obstacle not for the weak; those who even wimperā¦ their futures are bleak. Find a buddy, find a pal, find even the closest sign for sale- anything to hide yourself from what lingers in the streets wh...
