Under The Bed. Content Warning.
When I was a child, I had this odd friend. He wasn't some cuddly creature or a person like other imaginary friends were. No. My imaginary friend was this odd leathery creature with narrow black eyes and a huge, jagged tooth grin. That looked to be too big for his narrow face. Claws that wereabout three inches long and a sickly shade of yellow too. Long, disturbingly thin limbs that were a distinctly unnatural shade of white.

I'd Like A Room Please
I travel a lot for work and usually stay at one of the major hotel chains. Their rooms are normally clean, beds comfortable, and the interior walls soundproof enough that if the person next door sneezes, I don’t feel compelled to say, “Bless you.” Unfortunately, none was available for this trip.

The Cave in Younger's Holler
I told them we shouldn’t have come, that it’d be a mistake, but they never listen to me. I’m the friend in the group often overlooked, always interrupted as if I weren’t there. Normally, I wouldn’t mind sitting quietly, soaking in the camaraderie of my group. Tonight, it was different. I wish they had listened to me.

Internet lies
People will believe anything. You wouldn't believe some of the crazy theories people actually believe on the internet. Like flat earthers who refuse to believe the earth is spherical, instead believing it to be flat instead. Or how about those online conspiracy theorists who believe Hollywood actors eat babies to stay young and handsome, or how they believe a secret cult known as the Illuminati control the world's governments and society as a whole. There are folks who believe lizard people live amongst us, disguising themselves as humans or that aliens secretly watch our every move. Some of these conspiracies can be funny or intriguing to speculate over, there are very few that actually hold merit or have even proven to be true. My personal favourite has to be the Mandela Effect, where everyone remembers something being a certain way, yet in reality it's always been another way. Like imagine waking up one day to see the sun is now red, only for everyone else to say it's always been that way and even in old movies and pictures the sun is indeed red, not orange or is it yellow? Now that's a Mandela Effect. There is also the Butterfly Effect, where if you were to do so little as kill a butterfly in the past, it could drastically change the present or future. The Butterfly Effect is typically the plot to most movies or books that feature the premise of time travel, where the time traveller makes a bad decision in the past that needs fixing otherwise their personal life is doomed. These are all fun theories, ones made up by imaginative people. Some are harmless to believe, while others can have sometimes dangerous and uncertain consequences if you decide to believe them, which brings us up to the clutch of this story. That being the time Josef Carlin was wrongfully accused of the murder of poor little Ally Sedan. You see what happened is this; Josef worked at a theme park called Ricky Mouse Land in Miami Florida, which was based on the popular children's cartoon show. Ally had unfortunately died during a particularly gruesome ride on the tea cups, the cup she was inside of span out of control and the railing was loose so she came tumbling out of the ride at speed so fast it proved fatal as she crashed head first onto the yellow brick ground, staining it red with her blood. What happened to Ally was a tragic accident, the ride was old and unstable, it simply broke and led to tragedy. However, others wanted revenge, they needed someone to blame. So when news leaked that it was Josef who had operated the ride that day, everyone wanted to point fingers and claim he did that on purpose. That he intentionally made that one tea cup spin out of control in a successful attempt to kill that poor girl! The rumours were all over the internet, Josef was even "let go" from his job because of all the negative press he and the park were receiving.

House of Masks
I don’t remember beating him. Stabbing him. That’s what I keep telling them. The detective. The doctor. The woman with the clipboard and thick glasses who looks at me like I’m dead to her. I keep repeating it, hoping it’ll eventually mean something: “I don’t remember. I swear.”
