Yule Be Sorry
Yule Be Sorry. The date is December 25th, Andrea is sitting with her two sons unwrapping Christmas gifts, while Rob watches taking pictures. Everyone is smiles, until Brian the oldest son, 16 years old, opens a small gift that is wrapped in a wrapping paper different to any paper and bows that are under the tree. “Rob, is that from you? I don’t remember getting that for Brian.” She looked confused at the box. “No, I thought you got it.” Brian started to open the wrapping on the box, and inside there was some tissue paper and a note that rea, “YULE BE SORRY!” Brian laughed and showed it to his parents and then shook the box, to make sure nothing else came out of it. Nothing else fell out, “What does the label say, who is it from?” Andrea picked up the lid of the box and the wrapping paper and turned it all kinds of ways trying to see a name on it. It only read, “To Brian.”

So this is I17 huh? I've been driving so long I barely remember any colors other than red and grey. Driving in this convertible Camaro is perfect. I can smoke my colitas and my car is no worse for wear. But maybe I should lay off a tad. I’m getting sleepy. I'll close my eyes for a second and… FUCK!!!

Cabin in the Woods
Nothing exciting happens in Lake Chripon which Wes Brandt could always attest to. He has lived in the least populated town in all of the United States for as long as he could remember but the one claim to fame it did have, it was rather high in crime, which is why he was the sheriff of this town. Lake Chripon is a typical low-end, swampy town where everyone knows one another. It’s filled with a ton of fishermen due to being so close to the ocean and that is sadly about the most exciting thing about it. Wes was well-liked by the people, which helped him become sheriff, he had always been a man that stood out in this small town. In his heyday, he was a hell of a quarterback that made standout plays on the regular for a town that never had any claim to fame or relevance in the sporting arena. No matter how good he was, his teams never amounted to anything anyway. Wes had received a report of a disturbance out in the run-down part of town’s seldom-visited area called Moonachie, or better yet the Moonies. No one went out there except for kids at night to party or smoke weed. It was a secluded area, so Wes thought that would be what he saw getting out there. Just some kids on a bender, lord knows he did the same back then.

The Wandering Spirit
A very well-known figure in the sleepy town of Stonebrook was the spirit of the Wandering child. Several people had stories pertaining to this soul from teachers to taxi drivers. Nearly every story was the same. Someone would see a child about nine or ten years old standing in the distance. Their clothes were tattered, a trash bag in their hand. Their face was obscured by shoulder-length hair. After a short encounter, the child would disappear.

The Soldier of St. Waldren
Saint Waldren’s hospital was the oldest medical facility in the county. It was a landmark that was so well known that it was often used as a checkpoint for directions. Not that Thana ever needed to, since she never left the hospital anyway. With all her health problems, it was almost easier to tell people what she DIDN’T have. She couldn’t keep many friends her age since not a lot of people consider being in a white room with beeping noises and overpriced buffet food a fun Friday night. As a result, her only ‘life’ was online with the exception of an occasional guest or nurse.

The Truth About Real Vs. Fictional Vampires
[Author's Note: At University (in the early 2000's), I took a Sociology class on the myth and symbolism of Witchcraft, and as part of the class, I ended up writing a paper on the mythology and folklore of vampires, which then lead me into a paid gig writing vampire articles for a while. So I've decided to share these articles of vampire myth and folklore here ~ C ]

Wicker Lake
Arthur Harris is a best selling author who loves to write horror stories based on the nightmares of our small town. Since he moved here that is all anyone in Grey Hills will talk about at least it was until my brother’s body washed up in Wicker Lake yesterday.
