  • The Female Illusionists

    It's 1920. You sit in the audience surrounded by excited chatter rapidly shuttling from lips to ears. Heads bow in close and eyes crease into smiles in anticipation of the show. A hush engulfs the audience as Francis Renault sweeps onto the stage, a beautifully made up face leading the way, the train of the dress trailing behind. You can't believe that just a few hours ago, you saw him eating a sandwich in the store in a suit.

  • The Victims of Lover's Lane

    It's 1977 and you and your sweetheart are ready to take your relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, you need some privacy—something neither of you have. Your parents are night owls and your little brother's bedroom shares a thin wall with yours. Your sweetheart's bedroom is up the creaky stairs and right on top of their parents'. So what to do? Do you go to one of your homes and risk being caught by a family member, or do you take a gamble and move your connection to the outdoors and risk being murdered by The Lover's Lane Murderer?

  • Never Checking Out Pt. 2

    Checking out of your hotel room, the door clicks behind you, the wheels of your suitcase churning rhythmically on the floor behind you. You pass an open door and more than actually seeing them, your subconscious registers the shapes of three people standing and talking inside. The bed is in disarray. 

    You hear their voices fade as you continue down the hall. "...I just walked in and...he was here...like that. Like..." the voice breaks off.

    Suddenly you register that two of the people were dressed in blue. The police. What's going on?

    This is part two of hotel deaths.

  • Never Checking Out

    "Thank you." You grab your key card and wheel your suitcase to the elevator where two young women are whispering intensely. 

    "...right here, in this hotel!" Says the redhead. 

    The elevator dings and the dark-haired woman rolls her eyes as she steps inside. "You're just trying to scare me. It's not going to work." 

    You follow behind them onto the elevator, the doors closing shortly after and you feel the pull in your stomach as it drifts upward.

    You hear the redhead shift closer to the dark-haired woman, lowering her voice even more now that the three of you are in close quarters. "I'm not!" She whispers. "I swear to god—" the elevator dings as it reaches your floor and the doors open. You step off the elevator and start down the hallway "—she died right on this floor!" 

    You spin on your heel and the two girls lock onto your eyes, mouths slightly agape realizing they've been overheard. The doors softly shut. You're all alone.

  • "Breakfast in Hell"

    You board the train in Macon, GA, feet heavy. You slide into a seat soaked through and unnerved by the rain pounding on the side of the car, but content you have some time to dry out before exiting. As the train pulls away from the station, your eyes close, completely unaware you are on a train to nowhere.
