Wandering Soles
“Soles,” read the sign that hung above the small store; “Walk In Their Shoes” written below it. The motto caught my eye on my way home from work, and the color-faded sneakers on my feet were ogling it too. A little bell rang as I opened the door, the inside smelling like leather. There were rows of shelves with dozens of pairs of shoes, all different kinds. An old man sitting behind the register perked his head up as he saw me.

Reflections
Across the street there’s a park with a pond in the center. Well, technically the maps refer to it as a “reservoir” but I like calling it a pond. It’s got a lot of ducks, geese, and squirrels that like to hang out there. My girlfriend and I love going there, especially to clear our heads.

Something in the Air
There is something in the air today; something that says, "Don't go out." I'm not sure what this feeling is as the gray mask that is morning dew among storm clouds rolls in. It isn't the danger of a storm that my heart, mind, and body are warning against. No, this is a presence, an event. Something is going on today, but I'm uncertain as to what. Whatever it is is a foreboding of evil; a caution I cannot ignore.

Stan The Blackfoot
"It's the largest fresh body of water this side of the Mississippi," the Blackfoot told me. It sounds like bullshit to me, but then again, I wasn't exactly in the mental state to be challenging anything about my geographic state. The brimmers had my memory fuzzy. How many had I taken that day? Six? Seven? Drowning in brimmers, I say to the swimmers. Did we really kill the Tin Cup before getting dinner? Mountain whisky is what Prescott called it, but they all taste like fire to me.

The Secrets Of Ghostly Lake
The river boys camped along the low bank when the weather was on their side. On summer nights they sat by the fire, passed the bottle and cooked a feed, a couple of tins of baked beans or bacon bones in steaming water and bread toasted on an old stove rack. If one of them got lucky with the throwing arm and landed a kill with a fistful of rock, they shared a rabbit on the coals.

The devil made me do it case
I have posted about demons and the devil before but have forgot to do a trigger warning. Some people may find mentions of demons or murder disturbing so reader beware. As always when I cover murders I mean no disrespect to the victim or their family.

Prophet of the Deep
I've been dreaming of water as of late. Rivers, oceans, and lakes of all shapes and sizes. That wouldn't be a problem except that in every dream something lives in the lake. Sometimes while horrifying to look at, the thing isn't that bad. Most of the time though they're both ugly and evil. I always wake up drenched in a cold sweat remembering names of the places I've been in the dreams. After the fourth dream I had gotten a journal and written a brief description of each creature and the name of each lake in it.

Five Unique Symbols To Use In Scary Stories
The power of symbolism is one of the first lessons you have in English One and Creative Writing. Symbolism is a sturdy pillar in a writer's support system and can increase the relationship between the audience and the piece. For example, most people recognize the Mockingjay Pin. Having a motif is especially important nowadays since younger generations are proven to gravitate towards logos.

Lake Mercurial
He watched his wife in disgust, her swollen belly obvious under the loose dress she wore. How dare the bitch get pregnant. He had made sure she took her pill every day so that this wouldn’t happen. Yet, here they were; and something had to be done about it. Adrenaline and anger surged through his veins. Under the guise of a romantic, midnight picnic, he had lured his wife to the banks of Lake Mercurial. So named due to its temperamental nature, Lake Mercurial was a mystery, a place where unexplainable things happened; like the odd multicoloured balls of light that could sometimes be seen hovering over the surface of the water, or the churning waves that randomly brought the still surface to life even when there was no wind. Even the occasional water spout and whirlpool had been sighted, right out in the middle of the lake. It was the perfect spot for him to put a stop to the madness plaguing his life. He doubted anyone would question him if it happened here. He could just palm it off as an accident caused by the unpredictable lake.

You should’ve distrub the graves
There’s an old abandoned haunted house that has just of an old abandoned pond behind it. People think it’s the house that you need to be worried about but instead it’s really the pond. The house was built first in 1805 and the pond was built much later. People say that families have kept dying over the years of drowning especially after the pond was made. This pond is always foggy and it’s always been creepy. There are so many theories about this pond. That a family dug up a graveyard to make it. The Jones built the house in 1805 but over the years being hot and they wanted something fun for their children. Jack and Rita the family had lived in this house for years. In 1820 they were able to build this pond the reason they took so long was because they built the house in front of a graveyard. A family graveyard no less, fortunately where they built the house the graveyard didn’t get disturbed. However, wanting to build the pond they would have to dig up the graveyard and distrub it. The wife Harrietta was against all of this said, “Frank, there is no way I’m allowing you to disturb our family graveyard. It was close enough with the house but I will not allow you to make a pond.” Frank was upset and distraught about this because all he wants to do is make his children happy. He’s been wanting a pond in the back yard for the children because of how hot it’s been. It’s been over 100 degrees everyday in the Louisiana heat. Harrieta let him know that they didn’t have to man power to help and the money has been scarce the mills are almost done and Frank will be out of the job soon. Frank said, “I’ll be getting a promotion the mills are fine. I also don’t like my children seeing so much death. A graveyard is no place for a child.” Harrieta stay, “well you should have thought about that before building a home by the graveyard.” Frank, then gets upset saying, “ we had no choice it was a cheap lot and we needed a home. This is our family home near my families graveyard. We can move the bodies and the graveyard else where.” Harrieta felt scared of the thought her pale features became even more pale like she saw a ghost, her red lips went pale, and her green eyes went black. “Are you serious?” In disgust. “ We cannot move the bodies and the tombs stones somewhere else that is just insane.” “I will not be apart of that or allow it.” Frank said, “well, it is my family graveyard so I’ll do what I wish with it. I already made up my mind it’ll be done tomorrow.” Harrieta in fear, sadness, and shock looked at him turned then walked away.
