Space Vampire
He was looking at the night sky. It was clear, and all the stars glowed brighter than usual. The cold air blew and it brought chills with it. At first, the cold effect made sense, but then, he felt another wave, a colder wave; he remembered something. He remembered a story that his father told him when he badgered him, as kids do, to tell him something scary before going to sleep. Why something scary? He couldn't remember.

Steam Engine Steve
There once was a man who used to live in an abandoned derelict warehouse by a lake. He was what many called a mad scientist which is why he lived alone in the middle of nowhere. He had never been a good man but living alone had driven him to become more and more of a monster. He plotted day after day how to punish all the people who had cast him out. He would sit by the lake scowling and muttering to himself. Writing in journal after journal trying to come up with both a weapon and method of transportation to bring pain upon his enemies.

FONZ POND
DISCLAIMER: According to my research there is no real place named Fonz pond. If there is I could not locate it on the internet or map. This is the story I made up entirely based on the song by Insane Clown Posse. Should Fonz pond be a real place and local legends of any kind line up with this story it is entirely coincidental. The references made below belong to their perspective owners also listed below. Rated PG 16. Reader discretion is advised.

An Interview with a 107 Year-Old Cowboy Vampire Detective
It was the middle of June, in 2006, and Hank Jasper almost didn't hear the Little Rock Police chief call his name. He obviously did, but for the first time in a while he had to actually turn his head to look at Jennifer Cole, the forty-three year old woman with blonde hair that she always had in a braid; the one that always hung over her left shoulder.
