  • I grabbed the wrong luggage and the contents have turned my life into a nightmare

    As I breathe raggedly from the steady flow of oxygen at St. Ret-Constance Hospital, typing feebly with my one good arm… my one last arm, I am plagued more by fear than anger as I realize… it is not easy to write this. Nothing will ever be easy again.

    Thinking back, it was a mistake I couldn't have possibly made any easier to make. An error in judgment that will haunt my every conscious moment until my death. But even the thought of death brings me little solace now....

  • The Devouring

    Violet had insisted that a game of truth or dare could show people whether they would be compatible or not on a first date, as long as the game was straightforward. So we’d started with a few truths. She’d asked me intense questions: what my most painful memory was, who was the most prominent person in my masturbation fantasies, if I was to murder someone which weapon would I use? I had answered as honestly as I could: losing my mother, Madeline Smith, and a hatchet. She didn’t ask for explanations, just answers. My questions to her had been timid at first, but given the nature of her own questions, I’d decided that I shouldn’t bore her, so I asked about her first sexual experience and now she’d answered...

  • Barrel Aged

    Phil opened his mouth, stopped, and then wiped a hand over his face. “I don’t think I can finish the tasting.”

    Reynolds cocked his head to the side, brightly alert as a bird of prey. “Feeling ill?”

    “Yes.” The final glass was a richer amber than the others, so vibrant it could have held the place of honor in a pagan queen’s crown.

    “There’s only one left, and once poured, the liquor cannot be returned to the bottle. It is too precious not to be consumed.”

    Phil stared the taster down, wishing that either it or he would disappear and remove the choice from his plate. “I can’t,” he pleaded. “Don’t make me.”

    Harriford Distillery has a strange tasting process for their vendors, and a dark secret is hidden in their whiskey.

  • If you love your children, never bring them to a pizzeria playground

    “Please, don’t go to these places. Don’t work for them, and most of all, don’t bring your children to any parties. It doesn’t matter if they hate you for it, or if they don’t understand why you’re doing this. It’s the only way to keep them safe.”

  • The Children's Play Area is Closed by Darkly_Gathers

    “There are more drawings down here. Some of them are pictures on torn paper and tacked to the walls. Some are scrawled across the walls themselves in white chalk. They become more numerous the further in we go. They seem to be of slightly better quality than the one by the stairs, but… But they’re still not great.

    And they all depict the same thing. A girl. A child. All by herself.

    The colors of her clothes vary, but she always has long brown hair, and the hair is always done in the same exact style.

    “Hey”, I realize after a few minutes of walking, of exploring. “She kind of looks like you, don’t you think?”

    “What the ****?” Eliza retorts, “why would you say that?” She stops and her breathing gets really shallow…

  • I Hang My Hat and There's No Blood

    My condo is behind the Cosmopolitan on the Las Vegas strip. Sounds glamorous, right? Nope. It was nice when I bought the place, back when my show was a hit and I was pulling in greenbacks like Liberace performing at a Pride Parade, but those days are long over, not only for the Cosmo, but for me too.

  • Homeless Bags by Dean H. Wild

    It squirmed, fleshy and living between his fingers. He pulled his hand back with a gasp. The sides of the bag, some sort of scaly black leather, heaved in and out and a sound, deep and throaty, leaked from the zipper closure.

    “What the hell?” he heard himself say.
