Courage
“Ghosts don’t scare me!”, I shouted and the ghastly figure disappeared. I was relieved but then I heard a whisper from behind my left ear saying, “Who said I am?”
Post
Everybody started commenting and laughing at a funny comment on my status message. Then we realized it was from an account of a friend who died on that exact day a year ago.
Piss Shivers at Midnight
Shuffling out of bed, I feel for the bathroom lights. A hand grabs mine.
Dilemma
I’d really like to sleep with the barrista at my favourite coffee shop. But if things get awkward I’ll never get to have one of their fantastic lattes ever again.
A little light flirting
A smile, a flick of the hair, a well placed laugh – things were going my way and damn, he was hot. He smiled back, and it was only then that I noticed the ravioli on my chin.
Peripheral vision
There is an old man who lives in the corner of my eye, standing just out of view, whispering just out of earshot. At night I lie in bed in bed frozen in fear… because I can no longer see him, but I know he’s still there.
Judgemental Child
Yellow, green, red, the crayon box inside my head. Orange, purple, blue, I’ll pick a shade to color you.
Hidden
The moon was the only source of light that made it visible enough to see her legs as it peered out from under her bed.
Man in the Mirror
While getting ready for work I cut my neck shaving. When I checked in the mirror to see how bad the cut was I could swear I saw my reflection smile.

The Country Oasis
In my frustrated urgency I began pounding, trying to bust the lone port-o-potty door open. Amid all the commotion, I heard a deep drawl informatively resound, “Occupado.”
A Slumber
It had been hard to sleep with all those horrific and disfiguring paintings staring at me. Thank goodness that by morning, the paintings were gone; all that were left in their place were windows.
A Daring Rescue
“This way,” I said— leading her through the inferno. When I turned around to check, all I saw were flames engulfing the exit.
I’m Telling You to Wake Up.
If you die in this dream you’ll die in real life. You have to trust me and turn around.
Execution
He watched in terror as the Nembutal was pushed into his veins.
A moment later his fear disintegrated into oblivion.
Kleptomania
We were making out ahd she pushed me down on the bed. When she pushed up my skirt and pulled down my panties I realized I’d picked the wrong day to steal her diamond labret
Starburst
The sun exploded. Roughly eight minutes later, we got the bad news.
Just playing my part
It was Jim’s idea to hill her. It was me what had to do it, though.
Dear Old Dad
I was at my father’s funeral. As I reached the casket he opened his eyes.
