My Little Experiment
April showers bring May flowers; at least, that’s what my shrink used to tell me. If she’d known where that would lead, she might have chosen different words. But that was the phrase she used and that was the phrase that started it all. Logically, I knew she was just trying to tell me that hard times can result in something beautiful. Still, I took it to mean something else entirely. This is the story of how my April showers brought May flowers.

Curse of the Lupine Moon
December 2nd, 1865 – Central Minnesota Jeb was angry, which was good. The rage prevented the horror and sorrow from crippling him. It kept him moving toward the beast that had killed his wife, Tabitha, and taken his 8-year-old son, Caleb. He had little reason to believe that his son was still alive, but if there was even a glimmer of hope, he would never turn back.

The Melting of Selmor Pond
In the 27 years I have been alive, there have been two constant truths about my hometown: Selmor Pond has never thawed and people have always gone missing. And anytime anyone has ever brought up the possibility of there being a connection between the two, they also suddenly disappeared. That's why when I wrote a high school English assignment on it, my father made me burn it and swear to never speak (or write) about it again. And I had kept that promise...until the day Selmor Pond became water once more and every last person who vanished had returned.

Feast
Modesto, California. July 5th Darcy's eyes flickered open, fighting against the sharp morning light that was enveloping the bedroom. Like most nights she always slept heavy and experienced wild dreams an hour or two before waking which would be mostly forgotten by the time she had punched snooze for the final and umpteenth time.

Wendigo
Hungry. Hungry, hungry, hungry. All I could feel was the gnawing ache of the hunger. It drove me forward, kept me from resting. I crept through the woods like a ghost, eyes roving through the landscape for any hint of movement. Anything to eat. There was no fruit to be found in the winter here, nothing growing on the bare branches and snowy shrubs. Only the animals. Fat and hot with rich blood. It had been so long since I’d eaten. It was like a constant pit in my stomach, sending pulsing pain throughout my body, slowing my thoughts. I couldn’t think about anything else.

Persephone's Purr
Though my hands trembled on the reigns of my trusted steed, Marion, I knew I must relay to you my experience in the hills of Old Denton. If, by chance, I am taken in the near future, then perhaps this story will still reach you. If my cadaver is found alongside this letter, I beg you pray for my soul, for it will be haunted.

The Girl in the Pond
There is a pond in the old pear orchard. Every year, it freezes over, and kids love to skate on it, making spirals and figure eights until the cold reaches through their leather skates and their thick wool socks and reaches their tiny toes, and tells them it’s time or hot cocoa cinnamon cookies.

Copycat
“And the Purge starts in… three minutes!” I click off the TV and turn to my friend Macy. “Let’s go.” She says, giving me a fanged grin. We both fling our bags over our shoulders and go to meet my boyfriend Malakai. He’s waiting for us on the street corner. The government does the Purge once a year. It’s me and Macy’s favorite bonding time. All crimes are legal for twelve hours. See, we had a problem with over population a few decades ago. The Government looked into it, and found that the number one death cause in the world was murder. So they set up the purge, and sure enough, death rates rocketed. Things started to go normal again.
