Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
Abduction
The buzzing at the door barely stirred Alex and I as we were still snuggled together on the oversized couch the grays had installed in our living assignment. I slowly began to open my eyes, not really wanting to get up, as Alexa's face was nuzzled against my chest. At eighteen I had never spent the night with a girl before and admittedly I didn't want it to end, nor did I want her to wake up and freak out that we had slept together like that. Unfortunately, it was destined to happen. The buzzing finally forcing me to slide my arm out from beneath my couch mate. As I crawled up and over her, Alexa stirring only slightly from my moving, I stumbled across the floor barefoot realizing how much I might miss carpeting if I don't get home.

Welcome to Garrettland, Population ONE - Part 4 of 4
DECEMBER 16, 2039 Garret sits inside the cozy bungalow he had been issued for his personal use. 'For as long as he needs,' Travis had adamantly insisted the clerk manually add that stipulation to his registration form. It is very comfortable.

The Secret Hidden Inside
It was pill time, he wasn’t even sure what he was taking anymore. The same shows, lunch, more shows, more pills, then on to a walk around the grounds for a while, then dinner and more shows. The same thing, every day. Every once in a while, a new face in the hallway to whom he could say, “Hey, I’m Steven!” That of course being the single most exciting moment of most of his days. Steven couldn’t even remember how long he had been there anymore. The nurses were very nice, talking to him daily, helping him hobble through the walkways around the grounds. They even explained why the fence around the grounds seemed to be so daunting, as some of the other guests of the facility were not as coherent as he, so they needed to be contained. Steven was content with life, he felt old and tired, his body ached and hurt at every motion. He could not remember much of life, but he knew he had worked hard for this easy life, so he decided now, after much internal debate, that he was going to enjoy it.

Welcome to Garrettland, Population ONE - Part 2 of 4
DECEMBER 9, 2039 Garrett rolls off the oversized couch he called his bed for the night. He feels well-rested. Then he remembers. The girl. She's still out there, he hopes; the enigmatic little girl that had saved his life possibly. Still alone and he jumps up. Maybe today he will find her. Yesterday he thought he might have picked up a couple of clues but none of them had panned out.

A Wizard Named Harry
My name is Harry and I’m a wizard. I know what you are thinking, you have heard this story before, but I am not that Harry. Do I seem like a bespeckled little shit who hangs out with a ginger and is too naive to know that I could hook up with carrot top’s girlfriend? Not Likely! I prefer a smooth aged bourbon over butter beer and a Cuban cigar over snot flavored chocolate frogs.

The Red Eyed Favor Part II
Katie Sharp squinted when another lifted truck with LED headlights gave her a free x-ray as it roared past. She tried to blink past the spots. It wasn’t the first time today she’d had her eyeballs flash-banged while inching along the highway taking her out of the Dallas traffic she’d been stuck in for hours

Lucy's Key
You can tell a lot about a person by their keys, arguably, everything you need to know. Some people have one car key, one house key, and absolutely zero exciting prospects in their lives. Others have countless keys, a couple reward cards, and maybe one ornate key chain in a pathetic attempt to convince themselves that they have a life outside their daily responsibilities. They’re frugal though, so at least there’s that. On the other side of the spectrum, you have those with no intension of facing adulthood and just pile on the decorative key chains that surround a lone key to god only knows what.
