Buried
Leaves crunching beneath his shoes, knuckles white on his rifle’s grip, Wyatt said to the man on his left, “You’ve got to remember not to hesitate. He’ll probably try to beg, and that’s when he’s the most dangerous.” The other hand held firm onto the bloodhound’s leash. Wyatt heard the shaking in his younger brother, Josh’s voice as he said, “I know. I know. We’re going to kill it, and this whole thing will be over with.” Once again, he slid back the rusted bolt of his rifle to make sure a bullet was chambered, and closed it again. “Where should I aim, if we get the jump on it?” He had to keep up next to his brother, as he held the lantern, but struggled to stay in stride with his brother’s long legs.

The Hidden Book
I was taking the train from Berlin undercover when it all started. Using a fake identity of a dead person I was on my way to meet up with a corporate owner of a marketing company for an interview when my life took an unexpected turn for the better. After having had lost my house in a fire from a riot outbreak I was in the same clothes I had on for over a week. I felt like I was in rags. My T-Shirt under my sweater was ripped on the side where my sweater had got caught when I jumped the fence escaping the riot with nothing but my phone and my laptop bag.

miracle gamblers
The sound of a faint buzzing noise woke Chesca up from a deep sleep. It wasn’t exactly the sound she wanted to hear after working a double at the casino the night prior, the slots and jackpot sirens still ringing in her ears. Looking up at her clock, it took her more then a minute to clear her blurry vision. “Only three hours of sleep” she thought, groggily to herself as she threw the blanket over her head. As the buzzing continued followed by knocks, she realized someone had been knocking on her flat door.

Winchester: Everything Dies Here...
Everything dies here……. The dark and raspy quote of the witch next door. She would linger at the gate just as that statement would linger in my mind. I became intrigued by this awkwardly mysterious woman whispering incantations and dragging her old rake across the cement and rocks. I decided to contact my landlord, David, who was always there to help me whenever I had any issues. I compiled an email describing the meeting I got myself into with the neighbor. I explained the way I discovered her watching through the fence, the way she behaved and the things she said. Apparently this was not entirely a surprise to him.

My werewolf life
They say this all began in the mid 1500's. Some crazy guy in a "magical girdle" was roaming the country side, shape-shifting and killing people. I actually had to look this up because at first, I didn't believe it. Sure enough there it was in black and white print on my computer screen, some random guy in Germany was wearing a girdle and roaming the country side. It ended the usual way things like this end, he was tortured and killed, then his head hung on display. It was said the girdle was a gift from the devil as a sign of their pact. If the devil was to hand me a girdle and say this will give you shape-shifting powers I would have to take a hard pass on that one.

Hush-A-By
Running through the dead trees; The hunters chase, the prey flees. Hush-a-by, hush-a-by, they all fall down. The wailing child’s voice sounded again; an eerie song drifting on the chill wind. Icy fingers wrapped around them, sending haunting shivers down their spines. In terror they ran. They had been running for days. Every time the song sounded, someone died.
