The Big Pond
The Big Pond The Big Pond was a pond by the side of the school of Vix. The pond was wide in area and shallow in depth, causing many plants to grow within it. Surrounding the pond was a stone wall, made with white and orange bricks, and just like most ponds, it is round in shape. Underneath the pond, by the floor, one could see thousands of coins, all tossed in the hopes of good luck, and making their dreams come true.

Blood and Tea
The liquor brewed up a deep red. I love the color. Red has always been my favorite, and to combine it with black tea? Delicious. As I smell the leaves in my diffuser, I catch the notes of dark earth and smoke, so similar but so different from the scents wafting up from the riverside. “What is this?” I ask my beloved.

Come Home
"You can always come home to me…" The words echoed in his mind as he sat in the back of the church, his wrinkled suit and cracked, hand-me-down oxford shoes afforded him more attention than he wanted when he first walked in. He could feel the judgement coming from the well dressed, neatly pressed masses as their eyes scanned over his haggard appearance. He knew he didn’t belong here, there was no reason he should be at this funeral.

Trick or Treat
Natalie had always heard the stories about people slipping something dangerous into Halloween candy—razor blades in apples, poison in chocolate bars. She’d also always heard that these were urban legends. There weren’t actually strangers out there tampering with Halloween candy or handing out dangerous treats. It just wasn’t true.

The Jinn of Harran
I just kept walking, numb against the wind. It blew through my tattered clothes, sending involuntary shivers through my body. The air was heavy with pressure. You could see the clouds rolling in, ready to drown you.

Remain
Relief flooded over Jane when she saw the empty lot and knew that she had the lake to herself. The picnicking families had long since herded the kids back into the car and left, ready to wash off the grass stains and whatever was in those leaf piles; the early-evening joggers were at home with their glasses of wine and a cozy sense of accomplishment. Sometimes kids came here after dark, leaving behind noisy laughter, crushed cans and the haze of smoky kisses. The night had been illuminated with firecrackers and ghoulish glee a few nights ago, on Halloween, but tonight the spot was quiet but for the wind in the trees and skimming the surface of the lake.

Lake Terror
Sadie wasn’t sure what she was looking at, the body was so mangled and dismembered. The hair was brown she could tell that, but the face had been ripped completely off. It appeared as though the limbs were ripped from the body and then piled up. She had seen her share of murders, bodies in all stages of decomp and by all different means, but never had she seen this. Blood was pooled everywhere and spattered on the sides of the covered bridge where the body lay piled in the center of.

Rising Waters
In a tree house, in the middle of the ocean, lived a woman and her sister. Their names were long forgotten, along with how they got there, and when, or why. In this small, wooden tree house, there is a little kitchen, a table with two chairs, and two windows opposite each other. The older sister stood tall, with her long black hair draped down her shoulders. The younger sister with yellow hair stared at her sibling from one of the seats next to the table, before switching her gaze out the window. The little sister could see the tree goes straight to the still ocean, then disappears immediately in the cloudy blue water.

Seven Days
The House, 5 Guests, and a Strange Horizon Lori looked down at her coffee cup and tried not to pay attention to the five people in the large, Victorian-styled kitchen with her. Her fingers drummed the ceramic nervously as one of the three women stirred eggs in a frying pan. A rather effeminate man leaned against one counter, sipping coffee. Another sat at the round table with a newspaper up and open.
