She had come for him under the dusk of the setting evening sun disguised as a cloaked stranger, but I knew who she was. I knew what revelry was afoot. My grandfather had warned me about her. About her magic tricks, and her deceitful ways.

The A-Frame
I wake up suddenly and in a panic, in the middle of the night. I blink a few times, looking around to realize I’m in the living room. Not of my current apartment, but of the old house I used to live in. Confused, I swing my legs off the couch and stand shakily. There’s a sound coming from down the hall, and the smell of smoke with a sickening undertone I can’t place.

Monster on the bus
It's black eyes met hers and she looked petrified, eyes bulging in confusion and terror, as this tall, wire thin, spidery, humanoid monster stretched its ear to ear smile, revealing its many different sized shark teeth. Aimee wanted to scream, she wanted to stand and run off the bus and flee from this hideous, unspeakable thing! Yet all she could do was tremble in fear, her blood running cold, sweat creeping down her spine as her heart beated far too fast! She wondered why nobody else reacted to the strange creature, she thought she was going mad. That her teenage imagination was giving her this bizarre and horrifying hallucination, then as the old lady climbed onboard, she hoped the monster wouldn't follow in behind her, but it did. Oh yes, it did. It phased right through the humans like they were ghosts, bending forwards on all fours because it was far too tall to stand inside the bus. The way it moved was like a giant spider, crawling towards her with a terrible hunger within its empty soulless eyes, in that moment she knew what this twisted demon wanted; her soul. She let out this long, pained whine that alerted the other passengers. Then the driver pulled the bus into gear and drove.
