A Duel with Hypn-a-gogic
I was in my room, in Mbise a not so remote African not rally a village, nestled beneath the sprawling canopy of ancient trees, I had never experienced a night of terror like that night. The air was supposed to be thick with the fragrance of blooming flora, and the distant chirping of nocturnal creatures should serenade the night. Yet, an ominous unease hung in the atmosphere, maybe foreshadowing the horrors that would soon unfold in the twisted corridors of my dreams or probably I was already living the nightmare .

Grandma Always Said that Grandpa Wasn't Right
I’ve been taking care of my grandma lately. She’s been doing pretty bad and she needs someone there to help her almost twenty-four-seven. She’s got some kind of bone disease, it's basically turning her bones into Swiss cheese, and I’ve had to carry her to the bathroom and room to room for the past two weeks. This might seem kind of tiresome to some people, but I’m glad to do it. My Grandma and I have always been close, she basically raised me since my mother was never at home. If I can give back to her now, I consider it fair.

The Voices
I was in the middle of class when I felt like going to the bathroom. I remember that while I was already inside, someone started knocking on the door. I told him I was busy, but he kept insisting, as if that was the only bathroom in the whole school. I asked him to wait or to find another one, but all he kept saying was to open the door. Every time I answered no or to go away, he would bang even louder and almost scream, asking me to please let him in. I remember it well because those screams were not from someone in a hurry to go to the bathroom, they were from someone who was very scared. His screams managed to scare me too. I stayed locked up as long as I could until they came looking for me. They thought I was trying to hide from classes and I was punished every week, not being able to go out to play. If they saw me with anyone while I was grounded, they would drag it out even longer.

Steria adored dolls. She had an entire assortment of them in her room, every one with a name and a character. She got a kick out of the chance to play with them consistently, imagining they were her loved ones. She particularly adored her most up to date doll, Lily, who had long light hair and blue eyes, very much like her.

Monster. Top Story - September 2023.
When I think of the word “monster” I think of my daughter. It was an involuntary reflex, an automatic thought as my academic husband would have called it, the association between “daughter” and “monster” carved into the recesses of my brain, my neurons easily connecting the two concepts together.
