I can see my breath.

It’s cold outside I can feel the chills going down my spine.

I look at the clock of my beaten up ford contour its 3 am

What am I doing up right now im almost out of gas!

I make a left hand turn then a right

I need to go home I try to head that way

But I’m stopped there’s this house,

It’s not a normal house no there’s something about it,I feel drawn to it, I don’t know why.

I...

It shouldn’t have been boarded up. It’s lawn pristine and cleanly cut. Its trees always beautiful and following regulation. In the fall the leaves always found themselves in neatly tied bags by the curb. Yet no one came outside.

Once when I was smaller and full of that trepidantion that couldn’t be told no, I stayed up all night, watching. Waiting.

The lawn had been full of leaves, is was aroun...

“Sigh” muscles aching like something just hit me a 1000 times. “ that was fun we should do this more often.” Luna said to me with sweat running down her face like race cars on a track. “ at least I have somebody to run with”. Still panting like a dog on a summer day. “ u have a nice night Jay”, “you too as well” i threw right back at her. Thinking to my self when walking back home, I wonder how sh...

Pulling away from the groomy driveway of the bizarre building Bryce screams, “WATCH OUT!!”

One hazy tuesday afternoon, there’s a group of kids creeping down Devine Avenue with their car. The smell they had was only sweaty gym clothes and rotten cigars. “Watch were ya walking, will ya?!” Was a common quote said by many people passing by. Bryan would yell back an arrogant response and get Bryan, Da...

Josh found an abandoned house on route 68.

Him and a few buddies, decided to go explore it. Yeah they’ve done this, before but this time it was different.

Different how Josh and his buddies weren’t sure why? It was different it just was.

The floor was dark and dusty covered in thick layered dust. That sticked to Josh and buddies shoes as they stepped inside. The sound creaked as they walked In...

One day after school into the late fall afternoon, Daniel stopped his bike around the block, slowly parking it as his eyes fixed on the run-down but imposing home before him: the Manchester family home. The mansion was upon the largest in the block, the rich part, if you will. But also the oldest, perhaps _the_ oldest house in the entire neighborhood.

You’d think it would have quite the extensiv...

Real Love

Love's not just a feeling, nor a flame,

That flickers bright, then fades with fame.

It's not just words, nor tender touch,

But a choice, a commitment, and so much.

Real love's the laughter, tears, and strife,

The struggles shared, the trials of life.

It's standing strong through every test,

Through every up and down, and every rest.

It's looking deep, beyond the facade,

And accepting ...

John humored the idea that someone was home as he knocked on the door of the old Bridge Bury house. He slammed the old brass knocker into the wood 3 times. Knock! Knock! Knock!

Everyone knew this place had been abandoned 20 odd years ago. He would know best, having lived next door for the last 15, but he went the through motions anyhow.

“Perhaps there was a squatter,” he thought, “or maybe a re...

Lila stood at the edge of Maple Street, her new home in Cera sprawling out before her. The small town felt quiet, almost too quiet, save for the whispers of the autumn wind. As she scanned the neighborhood, her eyes landed on the old, crumbling house at the end of the street. It loomed like a specter, its paint peeling and windows clouded, drawing her in with an irresistible allure.

Despite warnin...

In my apartment, the only window looks out onto a steep hill. On top of that hill is a house boarded up with old wood. It’s been abandoned for as long as I can remember. My landlord always tells me there’s something sinful going on in the place, that priests should be exorcising the sin pouring through its walls. I never pay any mind to any of his ramblings.

Until now.

Police sirens wail into th...
