The Starling Hotel: Midnight Chronicles
It was dark, cold and raining the night Deanndra Sanderson carried her bags onto the nineteenth-floor elevator of the Starling Hotel. The cascade of rain could be heard tapping gently against the large French windows at the end of the hall. A sudden and thunderous bolt of lightning brightly illuminated the tall windows but added only a hint of light to the long hallway. The now solemn windows and profoundly eerie aura did well to hide the extreme temperament beyond them. Turbulent and impressive, the thunderstorm roared outside, but inside, past the soundproof windows, it was barely audible at all.

Remember
"Ever...Ever...Ever! Where are you?!" I can hear a woman's voice calling my name, she's scared. For herself or for me I don't know yet. Everything is pitch black, I couldn't even see my hand reach my face. Nearly poked my eye in the process of feeling the warm liquid on my temple. Unsure what was on the tips my fingers, yet having a feeling it may be blood. There's a smell of iron is in the air all around me. I take a step forward, "squish" is the sound my boots make against the floor. Wherever I am and currently was is still pitch black, with no light switch on the walls.

The Setup
It's October nightfall. You find orange leaves crushed here and there into the roads, needles everywhere. You feel like being among the forest trees in a hammock. Fall is your time of year, especially for Halloween. There’s a slight drizzle as you walk to the parking lot. You’re glad you’ll make it to your car in time before it starts to pour. You accidentally bump into someone. “I’m sorry,” you say, but the man keeps on heading towards the street. You see he’s blind. Where’s his cane? You try to guide him. Cars are coming. You run to stop him. You shout out to him. He can’t seem to hear you. He walks his own way and crosses the road oblivious to the fact he made it safely. Whew. You follow him. He passes the nearby shops, the clearing, and reaches the corn fields. Then, he stops abruptly as if he was about to smack into a wall.

Doctor David
I have an appointment tonight. Things need to be done. Things need to be sold, paid off. I lick my lips and walk over to my ‘kitchen’ and wash off my blade. The smell of blood seeps into my clothes and nose. I dry it with a white cloth and take off all of my ‘infected’ clothes. I walk out of my infirmary, into my ventilation system and take a brisk shower. Scrubbing everything with dish soap, and making sure to get every inch of my body cleansed. I dry off, and put on new clothing.

Unwanted Party
Have you ever been invited to a party and went to a wrong address. Well I did and I ended up in the middle of a desert with this weird family because my car broke down. This all started a month ago I was in my apartment playing my game system on my day off. Then this weird kid with a butler outfit on and said I was invited to a special event only givin to people who qualified for it. I don’t know how I qualified for anything I’m a high school drop out working at a shop yard making 50k a year. But this was an opportunity to get out of the house for once so I decided to pack for a short trip. The address was encrypted and it had how to figure out what it means on the back of the letter. This party was supposed to be located in the valley of death. I know the location should be a warning but I am down for any party. As long as theirs beer and games, just skip out on the lectures and skits. But on my way their I manage to lose my GPS and got lost so I pulled off at this crumby motel. I tried to ask for directions and next thing I know I’m in this car with a family I don’t even know, because I just woke up. Yeah I might be kidnapped or just fell asleep but either way let’s see how this plays out. So far it looks like we’re going the same direction I’m supposed to be going and this weird old lady keeps staring at me licking her gums and lips. I’m trying to ignore her except it’s hard when it sound like wet ham slapping on a someone’s face to piss them off. Yeah this party better be worth it because I think I’d rather jump out right now. But then the driver said we’re almost at our destination but I don’t see anything but a whole bunch of scary dude holding bats with people laying down with blood on them. If this is the party I hope those are dolls filled with ketchup or fruit punch jello. I know I’m not filled with either of those, so if this is a party to get rid of steam on people, I’m gone. But now that we’re getting close I’ve decided I’m bailing on this party their ain’t anyway I’m getting involved with some gang problems. As soon as I step out of this door, a random group of people start chasing after me screaming like maniacs. I’ve decided to take the closest thing to me which had to be a skinny stick and swing it like a fly swatter against a wasp. All I managed to do was scrape them up. Now it’s time to run. I’ve found a car with no engine so I decided to take a tire. Now that I got a bowling tire and running pins it’s time to test my aim but I got no time. So I just threw all the tires at them after I lit them to flames. Hopefully this bought me time to get away from these people. As I continue to run further away. I found myself surrounded but steep cliffs on all directions in-front of me. The only way to be sure I’m same is to go down, their is a barn down their and I see a four wheeler. I decided to go down the cliff looking for a part I can slide down with the least risks. As I get to the bottom I hear people in the distance. As voices get louder I make my way to the four wheeler. Only to find their was no key in the starter. I run into the barn to look for the key. As I hear people coming my way I found the key under the steps in the barn. Before the door opens I jump in a hay pile. Waiting for them to go upstairs or back out so I can get to the four wheeler. Something or someone hit me, I try not to make a noise. Then someone yanks me out of the hay. Right as soon as I get out of the pile of hay. I spring myself towards the door trying to make it out alive. As soon as I hit the door I slammed it open. I dash toward the four wheeler turn it on and I hit the gas as hard as I can. This time to make sure I’m away I make a dust cloud by doing a donut in-front of the barn. I’m on my way home from this awful party. As soon as I arrive to my house theirs more invites but I’ve decided to leave them in the hall who ever wants the invites can have them. I’ll never trust a party invite from a sus looking person again.

The Curious Way of Blood
TW// Blood, Death The blood had dried in a particularly curious way. At least, that's what the huntress thought. This might be because there was blood on the other side of the tree; the part of the tree the body was nowhere near. Or maybe it was because it wasn't an animal mangled against the roots of the tree. She thought that maybe she wouldn't even be surprised if it was a human. But resting at the base of the tree, roots skewering its body was...
