“1 mississippi…2 Mississippi…3 mississippi,” and so on he went counting down the clock. “HERE I COMEEE!!!!” He screeched at the top of his lungs. I sprinted towards the decaying trees. Fall time is always my favorite. We had the radio on talking about the football game. Steelers vs Chiefs, and we knew who was gonna win.

Around 10 minutes later I wondered, “Wheres the seeker?” Either I have a rea...

To be- or not to be- right now that translates to hide or die. True it was not in iambic pentameter, but it was of course, of no consequence. Who he was hiding from did not care for literature, merely blood on his knife.

It wasn’t even Halloween, or any other black day of the calendar. It was merely a fun night gone wrong in 1984. The high school students had just wanted to drink and smoke behin...

Chapter One

Fear is a fickle bitch and right now I am at her mercy.

Silently, I struggle to remain still. A hard task to achieve when I am quite literally vibrating internally from the sheer terror that has crept within my skin and blanketed my bones. As I lay within the confines of the makeshift hatch beneath the floorboards ...

Anette grins as she scribbles down her ideas. Professor T’s horror class is fun. She has a blast. While most classes try to tamper down her love for the blood and guts, this one celebrates it.

Horror movies are her jam. Especially the ones that get amazing effects for the kills. Thinking to some of her favorite like The Thing (only the original, not the remake), the Fear Street trilogy, Freaky, a...

1. 2. 3.

I hear shuffling behind me.

4. 5. 6.

A door shutting.

7. 8. 9.

Giggling from down the hallway.

10.

Utter silence.

“I’m going to find you.” I call out into the darkness.

Starting with the most obvious places, behind doors, under beds, in cabinets, dang they’re good.

I hear the sound of a tin can falling from the kitchen and sneak inside.

I open the door and yell, “gotcha!” Ri...

The little girl hid in a bush

Pressed against the sharpened thorns

For her game of hide and seek

Was taken by a fae with horns.

“Child, child show your face”

His voice bellowed through the air

“I mean no wrong just come on out

Show your eyes and golden hair.”

When he found her the girl screamed!

She saw past his human gleam

And she curled up in a ball

Wishing it were all a dream.

“Child, child,...

While playing hide and seek

Lisa had several friends come over

They had spent the day playing games and hanging out.

That afternoon they decided to play

Hide and seek. They were having a lot of fun not knowing what was awaiting in the dark. After everyone had been found they noticed that Kim had not been found yet.

Everyone started looking where is Kim. No one could find her anywhere. They would...

“Children, your cousins Roy and Charlie are coming today”.

Hefner I heard that my favourite cousins where coming to play with jr and my brothers today my heart just filled with joy and excitement; so much so that you would feel it if you were dragging where I am sesnfing now, in my bedroom of course.

When I looked outside my window to see if my cousins arrived yet m, I suddenly seen a black cha...

Team-building. The worst. It’s only reason, the company’s profits are too high and someone complained to Human Resources that they haven’t been being treated right. The only reason to take us from our desks. Laser tag, paintball, bowling, picnic in the park with warm beer and cheap sandwiches. I had lived through it all and if I’d known another event had been planned, I would have called in sick....

“Mum? Josh? Please I can’t find you. This isn’t fun anymore.” The eight year old said as she called down the hallway of her house. It was getting dark now and she hadn’t thought about turning on any lights. She had no idea how long she had been looking for them, all she knew was it had been too long.

“Mum?” She called again, this time her shouts coming out a little more frantic. The girl jumped ...
