I Will Come, Eventually
It was a dark and gloomy Tuesday night the hospital hallway was empty, with nurses and doctors busily at their stations attending to their obligations; not a single soul was in sight. Only the faint murmurs of the machines beeping and sounding away. Even the sound of voices seemed not to echo as they would, only indecipherable mutters.

10 Books Bound in Human Skin
There are few things more evocative to book lovers than an old room full of leather-bound tomes. Though I suppose it depends on where the leather came from. Snake, fish, and elephant skin have all been used at times to create the rich leather coverings of books—but so has human skin. Known as anthropodermic bibliopegy, it is, thankfully, rare for books to be made of human skin, but examples have been confirmed by scientific analysis.

September 21st, 2137 Adam was hanging out in his pajamas, waiting for his girlfriend Sydney to show up. They would take a shower together, get dressed and head out to greet the day. She was usually here by now. "Where is she?" Adam started to ponder as he picked up his phone.

Skin Walk with Me
If walls could talk, they’d teach you a thousand words for shame. I have no memory of what came before me – this is perhaps our only overlap. Some entities are visitors and others hosts; the most fortunate are the ones who live as both. I am sought by eternal guests in every age and era.

When Damien arrived at his beachfront Airbnb, he was met with open doors and overly friendly smiles. The house he would be spending the next week of his life in was simultaneously the cheapest place on the site and the most immaculate. The link had been sent to him by his internet girlfriend of two months, Miranda. It was such a steal, he had booked it immediately(before the host had the chance to notice their obvious mistake and correct the price).

The Phantomic Coffee
“You’ve got to be kidding me!!!” Mag groaned because she was out of coffee. She had always told herself to get more coffee before she finished the current stash but failed miserably every single time.

As You Wish...
It’ll stop. It has to stop. That’s what I kept telling myself anyway. How could I know it would never stop? That the rage inside me would be with me forever. Even now, it’s with me, but it’s more of a dull ache than the searing rage that consumed my flesh.

Graveyard Shift
I’d never felt particularly worthy of anything, but I had always aspired to be more. I’d never had a lot going for me, and I guess that it would have been safer, much safer, had it stayed that way. I just felt like I deserved more, ya know?

Vicious Ends
The rumble of Chase’s run-down Chevy announced his arrival in White Lily Valley. A small, quaint town, of a few thousand people. Known for nothing and no one. The perfect place to start over. He’d left the city behind him and with it, all of the past. With him, he carried only his backpack, wallet, and whatever he could stuff into an old suitcase that had been smushed into the trunk.
