601: Bad Man From Bodie
Under the piercing sun of a late afternoon, the dusty plains stretched endlessly, the air heavy with the scent of sagebrush and impending trouble.

The Uninvited Guest
I didn’t realize it, but I was picking at a splinter on the antique table. Tiny wooden flakes came off as I tried to keep my left leg from bouncing up and down. I was incredibly nervous, and why wouldn’t I be?

The Teacher is a Monster Part 2
Here is Part 1 I didn’t sleep that night. Every time my eyelids grew heavy, I heard it—the faintest scrape of claws against glass, the whisper of my name curling through the air like smoke. My fingers ached from gripping the scissors too tightly, but I couldn’t let go. Not until the first light of dawn bled through my curtains. Only then did the tapping stop.

To reveal remarkable talent 2
That night, I slept soundly. For over ten days, I had been occupied either with my father’s funeral arrangements or with the somber duties of a reaper. It was a rare, peaceful evening, and in my dreams I saw my parents once more—beaming with joy as they reassured me that I need not worry, for they had ascended to heaven and all was well.

the layover
The knocking persisted. Cheryl rolled over onto her side, face pressing against the cushion of the couch, and squeezed her eyes shut. She wished she could do the same with her ears. She hadn’t been able to catch even a few minutes of rest since she laid down almost two hours before.

Pathogen, Ch. 3. Top Story - February 2025. Content Warning.
Marnie walked around in a kind of trance the rest of the day, unable to process what she'd learned in first period. Trevor Kennedy couldn't be dead. There was no way. Based on everything she knew about him - which admittedly wasn't much - he was healthier than a horse; tall, funny, good-natured, and captain of the varsity basketball team. Captains of high school basketball teams did not just drop dead like fruit flies.

Skull Trophies | World War 2. Content Warning.
During World War II, members of the United States military who were stationed in the Pacific theater of operations mutilated Japanese service soldiers who were either dead or disabled (hors de combat). Body parts were taken from Japanese military men as "war souvenirs" and "war trophies" as part of the mutilation of Japanese service personnel. Teeth and skulls were the "trophies" that were taken the most often, while other parts of the body were also gathered.

My dad is the Grim Reaper
You may have heard that once a person dies, a grim reaper arrives to claim their soul. However, I can assure you that such tales are mere legends—or at least not entirely accurate. In truth, after death an emissary from the netherworld does indeed come to escort the departed’s soul, but these agents do not don black cloaks, wield scythes, or appear as skeletal figures. Rather, they are not creatures of the underworld at all, but ordinary mortals who inherit this duty through the ages.

Skitterscourge
They only showed up in the dark and the darker it was, the better she could see them. They had been there as far back as Myriam first had memories. She had been looking for her favorite blankie and saw the corner of the bright purple fabric sticking out from under the bed.
