The perfect storm
Hello everyone! Happy Spooktober. I can't believe that it's already mid-October and Halloween is already around the corner. I decided to write a thriller type of story that I had a dream about a few months back. Before I start this story, just wanted to disclose that all names used aside from my own have been changed for the privacy and respect of those involved.

After the rain
After the rain the city smelled not of hope, nor spring- this city was not like most cities, instead it smelled of death, decay. Its odour reflected the inhabitant. Junkies, prostitutes and desperate working classes struggling for survival within invisible borders.

The Memoirs of a Psychopath
Chase slowly pulled the key from the ignition with a loud painful grunt. “I don’t want to be here.” He thought to himself. Deep down however, Chase knew that if he wasn’t here, his planning would never be complete. He always took mental notes of what his therapist told him to do, and he did the exact opposite of that. Early on, she had ordered him to count up to ten when he got upset and felt like he was losing control. Deliberately, he counted down from ten and waited to see how long it would take after that for him to snap. Currently, it's been three years since the last time that he counted down from ten.

The Memoirs of a Psychopath
Author's Note: Hello! Before I get into the first part of this fictional endeavor, I'd like to tell you more about the story before you read. This story follows a young man who is dealing with inner demons that push him more towards the brink of insanity before he finally snaps and goes off the deep end. If you like what I write here, please be sure to continue reading as I will be posting a new chapter every other day. I will also be starting another thread in the horror section following the strange encounters of a prison guard. Thanks! I hope you enjoy.

Money Hungry (Chapter Two)
Jason stared blankly into space for a moment before he spoke. “Pregnant? You sure baby? Last I heard I was shooting blanks and we couldn’t have kids.” Kalana was tall, slim and almost majestic when she walked in a room. She had perfectly smooth light brown skin and see thru hazel eyes. She spoke with what sounded like genuine concern. “Yes baby I know and I’m as surprised as you. But my doctor confirmed it I’m six weeks pregnant. I thought you would be happy.” Jason smirked slyly on the other end of the phone. “ I am happy just a little confused and taken aback. I never thought in a million years we could have a kid. Where are you? Can you meet me at the house?” Kalana seemed to be calming down. “Sure baby where are you? The office?” Jason was pacing his office with a sneer on his face “Yea I just got here but I’m going to call it a day and meet you at the house. I drove myself today my driver has the day off. I’ll see you in about an hour.” Kalana actually smiled. “Okay I’ll see you there baby can’t wait.”

Instant Karma!!!!
The full moon and the stars glistened brightly in the sky above; not a single cloud could be seen in sight. Drops of rain fell from the night sky as if the sky itself was crying. The loud roars of thunder could be heard as the icy water raced to meet the ground. The falling rain complimented the beautiful night sky making it almost look enchanting. The little droplets of rain hung onto her long lashes, and then down her freckled cheeks, kissing her natural two-tone plump lips before dropping in a puddle on the concrete sidewalk. The heterochromia iridium in her left eye twinkled in the moonlight showing the mischief and excitement lingering in her unique amber eyes. Her thick wet, strawberry red curly hair danced down her back in ripples as she ran. The sound of her thin boots squished and squeaked as she ran through the puddles.
