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.

I'm No Child
Okay, let me get one thing out of the way for the sake of context: I'm in my early adulthood and I am shorter than the teenagers around here. There are times when I go to a movie theater or pick up a wine bottle for myself and, when I pull out my state ID, the employee seems surprised when it reveals that I'm over 20. They don't explicitly say anything, I guess because of the shift they have to deal with, but I know that they're surprised.

Hell Is Thicker Than Water
The town was consumed in an inferno. Those who were unlucky enough to be touched by it were screaming in pain and pleading for a mercy that they would eventually grow to learn would never come. A trail of bloodied bodies that were either dead or dying lead to the source of the chaos. He continued to walk slowly without a hint of remorse, as he looked around at the outcome of what he started; he knew the denizens of the town would make a bigger mess in a heap of panic, and he initially just gave them a push, but decided to have some fun amongst the chaos.

The Wicked Street Fair
The air was heavy with the smell of smoke and a sour scent I couldn’t identify. The scents clung to me, wrapping me in a layer of filth. My sweaty hair hugged the back of my neck, reminding me that there was no escaping the Louisiana heat. The ground was still damp from a recent rain, causing the street lights to reflect on the payment. I could hear water splashing under my rain boots as I walked towards the dim lights.

Diary of Emily Swanson and the House on Elm Street
Friday 8:00PM I opened my closet door to find nothing but a black dress hanging from the hanger where I left it the night before. I grabbed it and threw it on the bed. I went into the bathroom and grabbed everything but my headband, because I wanted to wear my hair straight for the night. I put on my dress and I added some light makeup. I ran downstairs grabbed my heels and headed for the front door.

I'm Sorry I Let You Down
Allan Crawford was running on the campus as if he was being chased. In reality, he received a call that one of his visitors, a student by the name of Emily Bennett, had an incident involving sinking herself in the pool usually occupied by the college's swim team all with the knowledge that she couldn't swim. He started with a professional composure as he received the call that she wouldn't be able to come visit him or go to her other classes for the day, but he didn't even go through the entire phone conversation before rushing to the nurse's office where he was certain Emily would be.

What I Can't Give Up
Friday, June 18, 2106 6:24 PM I walked down the sidewalk with a half-smoked cigarette in my left hand. I could smell a smokey summer barbecue cooking nearby. How nice is that? To have family or friends come over and spend time together during summer... Oh, but does "summer" even exist anymore in this utopia-like Hell? The smell of cooked meat absorbed into my nostrils as I took a long drag out of my cigarette. I could hear laughs and loud voices. Truly, how nice is that? I fondly remember all the best things about being a human. FUCK. Something just hit me on the back of my head. I turned around and noticed a nice young lady in a yellow dress standing in front of me. Her red hair was wet from swimming and hung above her pale shoulders.

The Masked
I looked at my phone’s GPS in confusion as it said recalculating a few times before stating that it was unable to recalculate, and shut off. It was 11:34 at night and most of the small town that I was somehow able to lead myself to was closed down for the night. I decided to drive a few more miles until I found a gas station that was open.
