The Doll in the Crate
It was there, in the corner, all alone, deformed, bitten by dogs, and torn at the hands by the kittens. Top crate with a latch that didn't like to latch laid to rest the Doll. The doll lays on its side while its head tilts my way. The eyes no longer blink due to how long the doll has been around. At least I was kind enough to put a blanket down before I threw it in there.

My imaginary boogeyman
I was around the ages between 5 and 7 years old around the mid 90s that I thought about this imaginary monster. I don’t know how it all started or when I start thinking about it but it felt like it was real like my imagination was reality. I was a young boy growing up with my mom and dad no siblings in my family house hold. I remember being dropped off at kindergarden where all the kids and I would be typical spoiled brats making noise playing toys and other types of activities and learning arts and crafts. Like every other kid people talk about monsters ,ghost or aliens and they all talk about how in ancient times things that where once dead or once a being would walk this earth but like everybody else I believe in fairytales just like believing that Santa Claus existence on Christmas. It was around the mid or late 90s I remember being put to bed next to my mom and dad I would often sleep next to them when I feel scared of something as midnight struck it’s course I remember being woke up by a unknown entity force coming from the hallway, I tried waking my parent up but they won’t wake up as if time has frozen or they don’t even hear anything. I was scared and desperate to get them to wake and even tired to grab something for protection but nothing happened my body felt frozen like it didn’t want to do anything I was helpless! With my body completely being out of commission I’m forced to watch helplessly as the unknown entity come into my parents bedroom I was scared out of my mind as a child not knowing what to do. I can hear the noise of his coming futher and futher in and finally the monster finally makes it’s way in and looked at me with its evil reptile looking eyes it’s was also pushing something like it was a grocery cart or something inside. It was around 6’4 or 6’8 tall height of a beast. The beast looked at me makes it’s way towards me I felt something dragging me toward the beast. My parents of course still not awake as I called apon them the beast didn’t even pay attention to them just me. I felt my body being dragged and forced upon the beast cart, I’m totally helpless and frozen and paralyzed with fear as I finally make my way into the beast cart the beast looked at me with its evil sharp teeth smiles before getting ready to drag me off into the hallway and into the unknown force, then next thing I now I woke up completely confused and scared out of my mind it was around 6 or 7 in the morning and I felt relieved that this was all a dream in the end.. I told my mom and dad about it and my mom said “you know your just dreaming it’s natural to have those types of nightmare dreams after watching a scary movie I used to think chucky was real but in the end movies show you things that don’t exist it’s all about money and entertainment your still a child when your older you’ll understand that this is just fiction.” She said,“Don’t ever watch adult movies without my permission or it will get worse this time!”said my dad. But knowing what I saw made me very curious and scared at the same time but in the end I was just a child it took me 5 years to get over that fear ,but in the end I can’t help but laugh at myself and the hole ordeal as 25 years has passed in my conclusion movies are just movies.

Night Terror
Content Warning: Grief, Death, A Pandemic, and Mental Illness The sadness she felt since the loss of her sister cut so deep that no breath would come from her aching lungs. The tears of grief that used to flow so freely would no longer come. Her eyes had become the window to her soul, a barren desert, a land without relief. She turned her aching eyes to the screen in front of her. The ancient newscaster’s words seared into her mind. “we currently know the virus as ‘Night terror’ is infecting the citizens of Uz. This virus is incredibly dangerous and appears to be spreading rapidly. While it is unknown how this virus spreads, we urge citizens to proceed with caution.

The Metal Man of Courtney Nevada
I'm a cop in Nevada for a tiny town of less than a thousand. Courtney Nevada doesn't have an actual police force, the mayor is usually whoever is the soberest at election time, and it's made up of retirees and people trying not to be noticed. It lies between Austin and Eureka, and the whole town is managed by a single officer, me. I live in Eureka, but three months out of the year I stay in the dingy little Palmer Inn and operate the emergency phone system. It's routed to my cell phone and when I'm not out on a call I can be found in my room watching TV, the Palmer actually gets really satellite TV.
