Darkness Lurks: Killer Clowns in Glasgow (Part 4: The Curtain Call)
Sonny wasn’t sure what has uncles had planned for the night and wasn’t too keen on finding out. It would usually involve things that would get you in trouble or be dangerous at the best of times.

Darkness Lurks: Killer Clowns in Glasgow (Part three)
Either the janitor’s stern talking to put a few of them off or a few parents weren’t for letting their son or daughter out of the house after the murder and with all the rumours flying about.

The Secret
Nate heard the sound of the shower kick on, Nora was first tonight, but he would be lying if he said he could wait to get clean himself. It had been a fairly busy day, and after a week of working second shift, getting a good night’s sleep was a blessing. He threw on his coat and made his way to the front door. Nate needed a cigarette, even if the weather outside was frightful. An early season nor’easter had decided to blow through, and the wind was howling in the sideways rain.

Dreary
Broken, cold, and starting to mold her eyes welled up with tears. She was in agony of the memories that bound her to her chamber of glistening worry.

The Lady of The Lake
There once was a girl in the Pacific Northwest who held everything in the palm of her hand. Hers was a life of luxury, of affluence and influence – her childhood was served on a silver platter, as she was attended by a devoted mother, a doting father, and free of siblings to ruin the course of their favoritism. A staff assisted her when needed, modest but respectable, and she wanted for nothing. Her upbringing echoed the stories spun by Hollywood, which lay in the foothills of her haven – she was the envy of her age, her school, her community, and soon, much more. She lacked obstacles, and every opportunity awaited her. She set the stage, the scene, the mood, she was the life of the party, and the aspiration of all. She was a leader, a bold pioneer (of what, we cannot tell), and loud for all the world to hear – and they all followed. Every word. Every picture. Every carefully framed moment. Every curated thought, recycled, repacked, rebranded, and repainted as something new. She was incredibly important, she thought, and without fault, she knew (aside from minor character flaws – caring too much, thinking too deeply, and her love of dairy) – or so she thought she knew.

A diary of Danielle Rots My mother tucked me in as she spoke the familiar nursery rhyme she would always speak as she gave me a goodnight kiss, her voice gentle and her actions sweet.

Bathhouse
It was night. The air was frosty, snowflakes falling, the air was clean and crisp. Steam wisped over the water like a tarp trapping in what lay beneath the darkness below.

So She Screamed
It’s a grey afternoon as Jack Forester rowed his boat in the great sea, North of England. He knew a storm would be shortly coming in but he has been wanting to go fishing all summer - why would I turn back now? He thought as he looked towards the shore which is miles away from where his boat is sitting. His goal is to catch at least 6 dozen fish and planned to stay as long as he could for the last 3 dozen needed. As he brought up another Codfish, Jack saw something pale in the corner of his eye slightly below the surface of the grey lake. He put down his rod and leaned over his boat, trying to make the sight of what is floating below his boat. It looked rotted as it floated around the water. Some sort of green ooze swarmed the unknown object.

The Dark and Strange History of Jack O' Lanterns
Every year on Halloween, we decorate the outside of our homes with carved-out pumpkins. Seeing these sinister yet silly faces can make one think of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. What most of us don't know is why we have these orange heads. How did such a strange tradition start? The origins of jack o' lanterns are mixed. Celtic legends range from beheadings (yes, you heard me right) to simple superstitions. Let's go back in time!
