The Prey
Night falls upon a ruined city, decimated and forgotten. The once proud standing skyscrapers that filled the concrete jungle are unrecognizable from the rubble they now are. The sounds of honking horns and people going about their day have been replaced by deathly screams of unholy creatures and the silence of an empty city. Many survivors who made it out know that the dangers lurk in the shadows of the night, and that daybreak is your only safe haven. So, if you are ever caught in the dark without a light, hide and hope that they do not find you.

I'm in Love with a Zombie's Daughter
I have always thought zombie stories were stupid with a capitol S, until something ordinary happened to me right in my own home. Yes, I said ordinary. I was minding my own business when our new neighbors knocked on our door and my mom invited them in. She then proceeded to call her children from the four corners of the earth to present her brood in polite fashion once the neighbors had removed their government issued radiation prevention suits. I tried to ignore her as I usually would, but she was unrelenting. “Fedar Elias Ouray!” she repeated. So, I slunk from the basement to see what the issue could be. Could anything be more earth shattering than the radiation released from the nuclear power plants when our President demanded they be ratcheted up beyond maximum capacity?

Function{}
Initialize Diag(0,All) 1, Nom Initialize Call Function(Thomas, 78304027) // _ I open my eyes. It’s about midday, as evidenced by the orange glow behind the overcast skies. A few high altitude lightning bursts shatter across the skies with no more than a growl, as they did every few minutes or so. A beautiful day for dredging.

‘The Forever Purge’ Review—A Grating Experience
The only reason I would have to cleanse my soul is the fatigue I’m under from watching every movie in this awful series. I have had enough of The Purge movies. While some horror franchises begin with a strong opening installment and progressively worsen over time as unnecessary sequels are added, this series didn’t even have a good opener. Eight years, three Purge sequels, and a TV show later, we have The Forever Purge, a dystopian action-horror film directed by Everardo Gout.

Just Can't Die
CARTER COULD STILL HEAR the screams and gunshots echoing out from the fiery valley behind him and his crew. The last week had been filled with the same screams of terror and sharp cracks of any gun the terrified could get their hands on. The wind had vanished almost altogether, the autumn trees frozen in time and any flag not ripped from its base was flat as a sheet of paper. Yet somehow, the stench of death and those awful sounds still carried over the mountains.

The Real Evil
I could blame the heat. It’s always the heat. I would try to take deep breaths, tell myself that it’s not so bad, but then sweat would start to trickle down my neck, puddle behind my knees and under my armpits. My scalp would be saturated and I could lick my upper lip and taste the saltiness of it. My whole body felt like a furnace ready to explode. I think that’s what made me do it.

The Blue Ribbon Part 2
Evening wears on day turns into night Father sits and looks at the phone, waiting for it to ring. He fumbles with the radio tuning it to the nearest Radio station to see if there are updates. "Just in!" The excited weatherman shouts, "Severe weather headed our way. It looks like it's going to be a rough night, folks."

The Tree
The thing they don’t tell you in the movies is that, when the world ends, much of it stays the same. The dirt under my fingernails after searching out earthworms in the soil is the same dirt I remember as a child. The smell of my socks—worn thin, now, and with a hole I keep meaning to darn in the heel—after a day of walking is the same as it was a decade ago.

Wendigo
“The unidentified animals which appeared to originate from northern Wisconsin, have now been spotted all over the country and parts of Canada. Remain cautious when outside, and avoid wooded areas at all costs; there are thousands dead from encounters with these animals and they herd around forests. Although they do travel and have been spotted in cities. Researchers have yet to study the creatures, and no photographs of them have surfaced. The national guard may be brought into places most affected, researchers are working on medications that protect the infected. Though progress is slow because there is not much information on these creatures. However, what we do know is they are gray humanoids, between 7 and 8 feet tall, and extremely thin. Reports from cases where a person suffered a scratch or bite say they become pale and sickly, and soon they start to attack and eat whoever is nearby. Again, we warn against-”
