Through my past I swam. Like an oily lagoon the water was thick and heavy, the faces I'd known, loved and fought for flickered in and out of sight. Along with these were the waxy faces of those I'd killed, their screams echoing through the darkness as my frantic limbs struggled on - searching for a shred of light. Of retribution. Was there forgiveness for such crimes? Could I repent more than I al...

In Arrowton old and new the path lies beside the river. Along the bank then through a small gate you latch with a rusty iron hook, through a loop of hi tensile wire wrapped around a standard, banged into the ground.Walk on then beneth the newborn photosynthesis of spring leaves forming. On a step softened track of water soaked soil, compressed by footsteps on autumn fallen springtim...

What a hassel, all the chores! Cleaning the sea of red off the floors and walls. Mopping it and washing it all down the drain. Jonathan Devor was an ordinary guy that had graduated high school and had absolutly no direction in life. As if by uncertain force it fell on him to take on the family business. He had become an apprentice in the butchering field. Learning the trade wasn't the difficult pa...

Lying there in that hospital bed, the old man looked pathetic. Eddie stood over him, full of scorn. Not so tough now, are you? Some big friggin’ deal you turned out to be. He could feel his loathing turn to rage, but managed to keep it in check. The old bastard was just lying there with this stupid-assed look on his face. Monitor lights blipped in silent rhythm overhead, while...

His politeness.“Uhm, sorry. I didn’t mean…””’tis alright, lass. I was actually born this way. Mom’ grew insane and wanted me undone. Different times, expensive ...

A dense fog consumed London; the ghastliest Barbara Baker had ever laid her eyes upon. She found herself trapped in a cloud of obscurity as feathers of white swirled around her like water flowing along the sides of a stone in a river. After passing, they remained hanging in the air for a while before slowly drifting as slow as the worn-out barges that crossed the Thames every day. She cannot see a...

He remembered he was the last to see the house before it vanished. The house was located between two other suburban homes, two houses away from his, but no one lived there. It's previous occupants had long moved out that no one even remembered who they were, maybe just a normal family, but so much time had passed since then that the subdivision had more houses spring up over the village, remodelli...

His eyes flicker from side to side, and the hairs on the back of Pharaoh's arms stand rigid amongst the goose bumps. A prickling sensation traverses his spine and a glistening of sweat appears on his brow. In the temple the smoke from the incense is so thick that the High Priest isn't able to see the images. They are meant only for the Phara...

A man came walking along the street. It was not his first time in town, actually he had been here several times before, yet no one existed to recognize him.The man walked easily while smoking a cigarette along the street. He wore a nice cut suit and black gloves, his mouth turned in a light smile. The mouth was the only thing you could discern of his face, the rest of the face was covered in shado...
