fiction

Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.

Unexpected Fate (Ch. 1)
Beaten, bloody and bruised, Jared was left in the rain to die a slow death. With every inch of fight left in his poor lifeless body. He manages to crawl over to a pile of garbage bags and cardboard boxes. Once over there, Jared covers himself with boxes and lets death win. Bleeding out, stuck in what looks like an alleyway but his vision is so blurry that it looks more like a market place full of motionless shadows.

Vengeance (Pt. 1)
The past ... The past was great, it was warm, it was happy, I was happy. I wish I could find a time traveling device and just go back to the past—specifically 2005. 2005 was a great year for me and for my family. My mom was a florist, she loved flowers. I remember after school going to her shop and smelling all the different types of flowers. Roses, lilies, hydrangeas—my mom had them all. My favorite were the sunflowers. They were so big and so yellow; they just reminded me of happiness and joy. My dad was a dentist. He would work all day and when he would come home he would still smell like toothpaste, it made me laugh. We were a small little family, I didn't have any brothers or sisters, but it was okay.

Hunting Smile
It all started the day I was walking home from school when halfway there, I ran into my street and there was a little girl looking at me. She was dressed in old clothes. She had a deep look and a smile from ear to ear that made me shiver. I ignored it and continued with my path. Just as I was about to arrive at my home, I saw that she was outside, smiling at me.

The Day the World Froze
Let me start by saying that no... This is not a rewrite of The Day the Earth Stood Still. The Keanu Reeves remake sucked...

High Noon
"That kid wasn't nothin' but a greenhorn. Why, I did him and the world a favor by putting a bullet in 'im,” the lanky cowboy said, laughing along with the rest of his gang at their table in the Rusty Spur, a rough saloon on Whisper Street in Heaven's Gate.

Little Red Riding Hood
Long, red velvet, sweet like blood on a pale scrawny child, one of the prettiest creatures alive—so pretty that it disgusts me—one look at her face could swallow you into another dimension, but only one was immune to this effect. On the day of the cruel deed, this child known as Little Red Riding Hood was headed to help her sickly vulnerable grandmother. She wandered upon a dreary cold forest where only a single dim ray shot through a crevice in the trees as the sun was about to set with her being unaware of the trap she was about to walk into. All kinds of deadly creatures—fiends from hell—are awakened at night, especially the wolf who was growing weaker by the minute because his sad measly stomach hadn't eaten for days.

Community Service—Chapter 2
The next morning I woke up around 10, it wasn’t a big surprise that I was home alone. My parents weren’t around too often after they split. I lived with my dad but he was always too busy with work to be around on weekends and my mom had moved to Delaware about a year after their divorce was finalized. I got out of bed, ate a bowl of fruit loops and then called Owen. Unsurprisingly he didn’t pick up, he probably got more baked than a cake last night and was still sleeping off the effects. So I tried Henry, after a few rings his voice came through the speaker.

Wraith: The First Attack
My spouse and I had just moved into a new place. We were celebrating freedom from the unholy infestation of ants. Which seemed to have monopolized the entire town we had transferred to.
