Horror
Railroaded
"Let me tell you about my pocket watch." I sat in the passenger compartment of a train across from a man dressed like he'd walked out of a gangster film set in the 1920s: flat cap, three-piece suit, slim tie. He held a polished pocket watch in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Gordian Knot
The train clamor awoke me with a shutter. I watch the flashing of indigo lights like lightning storming through swollen eyelids; black, blue, black, and blue. A familiar spirit in the distance I recognize, but cannot place, as a specters’ ramblings can be heard; momentarily jolting my mind out of a blur of depression. This depression lingers like sullen fog circling an abandoned bridge; suspending water droplets while obscuring my clarity. My stubby fingers can't be seen held out in front of me, years can't be seen either.

Accused
This is an attempt at chat fiction, suggested to me by Pam Reeder. The rules are on the website here. The story is one I really don't want to write. It is heavily influenced by “The Trial” by Franz Kafka but I am trying to do it in Conversation Fiction style.

Soviet Chills
The air was piercingly cold and a thick layer of fog settled on the ground of a secret Soviet medical research institution in Vorkuta, USSR. Misha Orlov was marching down the walkway between the dozens of large several-story buildings. Even through Misha’s thick wool uniform, he felt the effects of the bitterly cold morning creeping up on him.

Show The Cameras What They Want.
The little girl sat on her pink stool in front of her pink vanity, the mirror lights pour their light on her small round face along with her small frame. Using her reflection, she applied red lipstick, from a brand she teamed up with, on her small non- existent lips while she hummed a mainstream song.

Operation:Runaway Train
He woke up with his head throbbing. Groaning, he sat up from the armchair and put his head in his hands. The glare of the lighting in the room made the pain in his head worse. He shut his eyes and massaged his temples. His mouth was extremely dry.
