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.

Projection
It looked almost accidental, the way the young woman dragged boxes and flung them, one on top of the other, creating a cascading, tilting tower. When she scaled the great beast she'd built, it was even more impressive, each footstep appearing far more chaotic than the skill she used to climb would imply.

Men aren’t always what they seem
I fixed my lipstick in the bathroom mirror. "Well, this isn't the worst first day in the world. He is very handsome, with dark brown hair and blackish eyes. oh and he has the kindest smile." I bit my nail while explaining him to a friend over the phone. "Well get back in there girl!! tell me everything when you get home!!" she hung up. I looked at myself in the mirror again and took a deep breath. I was walking across the restaurant to see my blind dating talking to the waitress. "Man, I was getting scared you had ditched," he said with a joking tone. "Ditch? was I that obvious?" I giggled back. "I just ordered us another bottle of wine I hope that's okay?" I smiled and nodded.

The shop door opens. A man walks in. Tall, dark hair, with a hint of distress behind blue eyes. Those are the best kind.

The Lighthouse in Oregon
Dusk was approaching amongst the smokey pines. Meandering roads carved the brush where Sam and Frankie rode their bikes along the rocky path. They pushed every pedal with an agonizing heave, trekking up a massive hill.

Harold
Harold was the mysterious boy that wandered around town. He was mysterious for what he didn't do and he was mysterious for the things that occasionally he actually did. Mostly though Harold never did anything as far as anyone could tell. This pretty much made him a normal young boy. What didn't make him such a normal young boy was that he had a beard of grey. The fact that Harold was also dead probably didn't help his cause for normalcy either.

Mirrors 3
Hold it up sternly! See this it sends back! (Who is it? Is it you?) Walt Whitman, A Hand-Mirror --- At first, it was just a campaign of rumors. At least that’s what most folks told themselves. Some misinformation spread for some reason or another. But then, after enough different people reported the same story of seeing their reflection in the mirror behaving unusually, the story gained enough traction for the posted videos to go viral.

Upon Reflection
Do you know why Vampires cannot see their reflections in mirrors? It's to do with the silver. Mirrors used to be backed with it; they were costly artisan pieces. Silver is challenging for the supernatural as it is their kryptonite.
