fiction

Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.

The Ghost of a Zombie
I thought this was a brilliant concept and wish this had been a challenge subject. I pitched the idea on a few vocal pages when Mike Singleton from the True crime, Horror Story & Dark Poetry group on Facebook (Definitely join if you are interested in any of the above-mentioned subjects, they share some epic whoppers) goaded me into writing my version. Here it is! I hope you enjoy and if you want to make your own, share it with me on facebook or instagram! I would love to read ya'lls renditions!

I am a sub-contractor for an agency that fights monsters Mission 1 Part 2
I spent the next five minutes fighting the pain away as the morphine did its thing. The sky had darkened to the point it became impossible to see further than ten meters, the shadows of the trees only adding to my disadvantage. Without any sort of night vision gear, this situation had gone from being bad to worse. Just my bad fucking luck. But I was determined to get out of this alive. In the distance, I heard the humming of a helicopter as it flew into audible range.

What Waits for Me…
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I should have fought harder to stay awake that night.

The Haunting of Heber house
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window". "Legend has it, that once you see the candle, you will die within a day of the first sighting. Believe it or not, this cabin has been around for over three hundred years. Every year on the anniversary of the strange disappearance of Katarina Heber, the candle appears, and a person, or sometimes persons, go missing and are never seen or heard from again, all that is left is a trail of blood, a lock of hair and a bloody handprint"! Josephina paused for effect, searching the faces for reactions.

The Still Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. No one knew why this change happened or who was living there but one thing everyone did know was that no one was supposed to be there. That’s why William “Wilky” Collins; the fearless leader of his three friends, Lacy, Dieter, and Ralph were crouched behind some hawthorn bushes and peeping at this house.

So Shines a Good Deed in a Naughty World. Runner-Up in Campfire Ghost Story Challenge.
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The pale flame stood sentry against the open dark, and lifted curling smoke like prayers towards the ceiling. Across the cabin walls, shadows writhed.

Screams Filled the Night Air
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. "Burn little flame, make me whole, and I can drive people crazy again!" the creature chanted, drawing strength and energy from the tiny flame from the candle burning in the window. "I need some blood," the evil thing cackled, running a lizardy tongue across rotting teeth.

Ominous Intentions
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I saw it first as my friend Cathy and I approached. Neither of us believed it even existed. The 'devil's cabin' was an urban legend in our neck of the woods many sought, but very few if any, found.

Only the Wicked Slumber Here
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. If there was a driveway leading through the trees to rundown shelter, even autumn couldn’t disparage the overgrowth swallowing the land in sharp, sturdy branches and decades of leaves. It’s said every now and again a vagrant would squat for a night, with the towns surrounding the lakes and rivers known for rogue campers and hitchhikers, but the local law stopped cleaning up after the place in the late eighties. If last known sightings were between mile markers twenty-three and twenty-four on the scenic highway 49, they didn’t bother following up. The residents spread throughout the Uwharries had no less than an acre distance from the property and were the few people in the forest area worried about double-checking their door locks and armories at night. Knocking on the door and sprinting for your life had become a high schooler’s obnoxious source of bragging rights; however, since Bass mouth Jack’s vanishing after peeking through the cracked door, it had been six years since teens have gone the distance. When the distorted high-pitched snarls frightened a motorist stopping for a piss under the stars, he noticed the candle eight days later, flickering yet unphased. It was the only thing in the report ever known by the authorities about that abandoned vehicle.

Future of Isolation
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window, seen by only the trees that surround it. Even the smallest of fires, burn the brightest in the forests.
