Bio
I am a stay at home mother of four small children. I love to write short horror stories in my free time, and I have posted a few of my stories on Reddit. I'm hoping to find more inspiration and motivation to write as a Vocal member.

Horror at the Lake
The night I arrived at my Uncle Jersey’s small, somewhat secluded house in the woods, I had expected my uncle to already be settling in for the evening. I was supposed to arrive at his home in the early afternoon with enough time to take his boat out on the miniature lake he had on his property. Well, he calls it a miniature lake. I think of it as a large pond, but my uncle likes to proudly refer to it as the Lac du Jersey. Whether that’s proper French or not, I couldn’t tell you, and I doubt my uncle’s knowledge on the subject surpasses my own, but there you go. Any way you approached the pond, you were liable to trip over a worn wooden post that bore the name, and my uncle had painted the moniker in bold, black letters on each of the floating docks along the pond’s edge.

The Hut across the Frozen Pond
Anthony White let his gaze rest upon the frozen surface of the pond before him. He was uncomfortably aware of the hushed voices coming from the dozens of young boys standing behind him at the southernmost edge of the irregularly shaped pool of ice. His friends were amongst them, he knew, holding up hand-written signs of support while occasionally calling out, “You can do it!” and “We believe in you!” However, Anthony was sure that the vast majority of the boys were hoping to see him fail his mission, giving them the ability to brag about having seen the infamous pond swallow a child whole. He supposed there might be a few kids who wanted to see him succeed, if only to find out whether the old hut across the water really was magical or not, but they were probably the ones who still had yet to be disillusioned about the existence of the Tooth Fairy.
