The Abandoned Factory
A Nightmarish Encounter with a Terrifying Creature
The sun had long since set, and the moon hung ominously in the sky as a car pulled up to the entrance of the abandoned factory. Two young men, Mike and Alex, had heard rumors of something strange happening there, and they were determined to investigate. As they approached the entrance, they saw that the gate was unlocked, and they couldn't resist the urge to enter.
The factory was dark and quiet, with the only sound being the crunch of their footsteps on the gravel floor. As they made their way through the maze of corridors, they started to feel uneasy. The air was thick with the smell of rot and decay, and they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.
Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from one of the nearby rooms. It sounded like metal scraping against metal, and it sent chills down their spines. They cautiously approached the room, peering inside through the crack in the door.
What they saw made them freeze in terror. In the center of the room stood a figure, tall and hunched over, with long, spindly limbs and sharp, jagged teeth. It was covered in blood, and it was dragging a lifeless body across the floor.
Mike and Alex tried to turn and run, but it was too late. The creature had already spotted them, and it let out a bone-chilling screech as it charged towards them.
They bolted down the hallway, their hearts pounding in their chests. They could hear the creature's footsteps getting closer and closer, and they knew they had to find a place to hide.
They burst into a nearby room and barricaded the door with whatever they could find. The room was dimly lit, and the air was thick with the stench of rot and decay.
As they caught their breath, they realized that they were not alone. There were bodies piled in the corner of the room, some freshly killed and others decomposing. The sight and smell were overwhelming, and they knew they had to get out of there.
But when they tried to open the door, they found it was stuck. The creature had followed them and was now trying to break down the door.
Mike and Alex frantically searched for another way out, but the windows were too high to reach. They were trapped.
As the creature broke through the door, they knew that they were going to die. But then, they saw something that gave them a glimmer of hope. There was a hatch in the floor, leading to the basement.
They pried it open and climbed down into the darkness, praying that the creature wouldn't follow them. But as they descended, they heard it screeching and clawing at the door above them.
The basement was cold and damp, with walls covered in mold and cobwebs. It was clear that no one had been down there in years. But as they explored, they found something that made their blood run cold.
There was a room in the basement, hidden behind a secret door. Inside, they found a collection of human skulls, arranged in a macabre display. There were tools and instruments of torture scattered around the room, and the walls were covered in strange symbols and writings.
As they tried to process what they had found, they heard the creature's footsteps approaching. They knew they couldn't outrun it forever, so they made the decision to fight.
They found a piece of metal piping and sharpened it into a makeshift weapon. They waited in the darkness, listening to the creature's footsteps getting closer and closer.
When it finally entered the room, they leaped out of the shadows, swinging their weapon with all their might. But the creature

Backyard Skulls
February 2007 His blade slices through the fleshy parts with ease. It’s graceful, disgusting but graceful. How he holds that carved handle with equal parts purpose and delicacy, as if he’s painting a rummage sale art piece to hang over a fireplace.

The Poisoner
Assassins have existed since the dawn of time, higher ups in society across the world desire to see those who wronged them dead! So killers are hired to eliminate the targets for wealth, typically money is the reward they seek. Most assassins use hidden blades, carried under their sleeves, quickly slashing their victims before blending in with the crowd again. Others use sniper rifles or other long range guns, shooting from afar or up close. The best assassins are subtle and sneaky, the greatest ones of all have never been caught! There are a disturbing number of ways you can kill a human, I obviously won't share any, not in this story so use your imagination. The point of this tale is to explore the most bizarre assassin to ever walk the planet, a killer who is still unknown but has committed a countless amount of murders across the globe. All of which include spiking or tampering with the victims food or drink. This would poison the target to the point of fatal illness, it happened to the most unlikely of people, as though this assassin had no true targets but simply killed for sport. Perhaps there were reasons he chose to kill these people, but it is a mystery that has been left unanswered for decades. Many believe there to be multiple Poisoner assassins throughout the years, the theory that is it no single man or woman makes a lot of sense. It is a theory many subscribe to. The targets killed range from cute couples, families or lone travellers, who visit exotic restaurants whilst on their holidays around the world. It is always detected to be either rat or ricin poisoning, that kills the victims. There have been numerous cases investigated, where CCTV has spotted strange chefs in kitchens, those who were never officially hired had slipped in a disguise and tampered with the food. They always wear the chef's scarf over their face, to hide their identity. The figure has been described as male, standing tall and athletic. To presume the killer is male, he has been spotted in bars too, a hooded figure with a balaclava, spiking drinks of people who later end up dead. Usually the police don't investigate until the killer has already committed his murder, so it seems they have long vanished before any trail can be found. Not to mention the amount of people who were at first presumed to have been food poisoned, where it was the restaurant or cafe found responsible for not properly serving well cooked food. Only for forensics to later discover the truth, which was far more sinister and purposeful. Nobody knows who this assassin is, or why they do the terrible things they do. They are presumed to be male, but even that is uncertain. The race or gender of the killer is not yet confirmed. No face has ever been identified. A pattern has not been detected either. The Poisoner is a ghost, an assassin so good, they always manage to slip through the cracks, what with their many disguises and hiding spots. One can only assume the assassin seeks out those with bounties upon their heads, do if you've angered the wrong person, someone high up in society, be sure to eat food from the supermarket instead. You'll never know if The Poisoner is after you or not, until it is too late! If you eat or drink anything that tastes off, you should probably bin that item and wash out your mouth, there's a good chance it may be dangerous to consume. Then you'd become another death, on a list of thousands.

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.
