Don’t Drink the Water
I was ten when I first asked my father why our town wasn’t on any map. He just said, “Some places are better forgotten.” Back then, it felt like one of those mysterious, grown-up things. Something I’d understand when I got older. But now I realize he wasn’t trying to keep a secret. He was trying to protect me.

5 Minute Horror: Lady in White. Content Warning.
[Please note that this story may be triggering for some readers.] Marie opened the window blinds warily and scanned the fields opposite the house, nervousness etched into the creases on her brow. She looked to the tall dark trees framing the tilled field then towards the back corner, where untouched wilderness spread out. Fog clung to the edges, but Marie could sense that nothing of note was out there. Yet. Her hand came to rest on her swollen belly, and she felt a kick beneath the skin. She sighed.

Mirror Fast . Content Warning.
She was beautiful. Unreal. Impossible, but true. The kind of woman strangers stopped to look at. A second. Just a hitch of foot and eye before they swerved away, continued on their way, and forgot that the world contained anything less than mundane. Her skin was taut, porcelain; the shine of serum and lotion locking in place like a fresh coat of wax. Her body was sculpted by the temple of repetition: early mornings, controlled breathing, the click-clack of machine and weights against a gym’s oiled floors. She was curvy where curves were allowed: waist narrow, hips precise, arms chiseled but not bulky, legs long and unthick.

The Safety of the Light
The perimeter must remain lit. It was the only rule the village enforced. For generations, as dusk set in a handful of adults would gather by the fire, light the torches, and carry them to the edge of their homes. Children watched gleefully as the flames danced to life one by one, like stars hovering just above the earth. “You must never venture beyond the light,” the elders warned in the gravest of tones.

Things You Can't Say seven. Content Warning.
Well, the movie is as terrible as I expect it to be. The whole thing feels like it’s just supposed to be some kind of torture porn. Or something to that effect. As all that happens is pain and misery to me. Sure, the guy in the movie isn’t exactly an angel. But the things that had happened to him feel over the top. Just thanks to the way that she messed with this guy’s head. Along with the other terrible things that she had done. Hurting people. Murdering them as well. Like her best friend that her boyfriend cheated on her with. It was terrifying to see crap that was on screen. I’m no stranger to violent horror movies. But this movie wasn’t up my alley at all. The number of terrible things she had done were outright disgusting to watch. The way she killed that poor innocent rat.
