They had been showing
up far more often as of
late. The empty husks
hollowed out, dry skin,
stiff fur, and glassy eyes.

When they came to inspect the cabins that morning, the counselor noticed four long gashes in the front door. In a panic, they rushed inside, noticing nothing but empty bunks and not a sign that anyone had been inside. Where had the kids gone?

An old pair of bones
laying in the sun
cleaned and stripped
of meat and muscle
so they may be used

Daisy would no longer
be disrespected by her company
she aired their dirty laundry,
only to find herself
placed in the dark underground,
never to be set free.

Austin wanted a figure that would impress his peers. He came across a gym with a walk-in sauna. Austin used this to help himself slim down. Slowly the inches rolled off, and people began to notice. Till one day he got locked inside, being cooked alive.

Hypnosis was rarely used in therapy. When a therapist is instructed to use it on a criminal. The things he is told he cannot unhear. The things she was instructed to do and people she was made to kill. Along with the name of the person behind it all.

He saw her flutter,
those long eyelashes from across
the room. She seemed to
have something in her eyes,
turning out to be blood
pooling just around the edges.

Using a syringe full of nerve toxin to keep the culprit from running away. They would use any means necessary to get the information they needed. What's a few less fingers and toes? After all, the culprit wouldn't need them where they would be going.

Lover's Bridge, a short scary story I wrote a couple of years ago, has been re-written. I hope this version is better than the old one.

His eyes used to be
full of love and life
now were dull and

nothing but who used

The trap was set. All that had to happen was for their enemy to open the door. What they didn't account for was someone innocent instead. Now they had a dead body bleeding out on their floor. They really shouldn't have gotten this crossbow.

When Andi arrived home as they were about to unlock their door, they noticed a broken window to the living room. Had someone made their way inside, or was it the work of vandals? Peering inside, they saw someone watching them.

beautiful, so she went to
a doctor who gave
her a slim waist
in the mirror, she
admired herself, even if she
was just leathered skin

A butcher always made sure that his tools were clean and honed. A dull blade wouldn't cut through flesh or saw through bone. The animals that he skinned were very particular and close to pigs in nature. A delicious feast for your next-door neighbor.

peeling back more skin,
exposing more muscle and bone.

Kurt barely dodged the attack in time. A jagged scar across his forearm dripped crimson onto the floor. He held it close against his chest as he searched for a hiding spot. Would he be able to make it out of this alive and escape the killer?

will see things that
aren't supposed to be
pieces and parts disposed
of in secret.

Emma had grown tired of Stephanie and her group of friends. They always found new ways to bully her. Making fun of her and spreading more rumors. One by one, she would take them out. In all the ways that they tortured her.

The thing about meat
is that no one would know
the difference between pork
and human flesh, especially the entrals
clean, cook, and season them,
then all of the evidence is gone.
