She said she wanted to take me to heaven. I didn’t know she meant it literally, or that a chainsaw would be involved.
Irreconcilable Differences
Why I said I left: it was getting a little too weird for me.
Why I really left: I could hear him in his office every night with that thing, chanting, praying, making odd noises, and when I peeked in there in the morning there were flecks of blood on the desk and walls.
Apocalypse Now
They said the end would be quick. Boy, were they wrong.
The Devil on Hollywood Boulevard
They say you can’t succeed in showbiz unless you sell your soul, although there are some who don’t and still manage to make it. Not true: I’ve collected every soul of every fame seeker since 1906.
Exigent Circumstances
I tried to get into the house the ‘legal’ way–do the knock and talk thing before serving my warrant. Finally, I had to use a shotgun on the deadbolt…at the exact moment that six year old was struggling to open the door.
the kris
2 am. And i can hear the Kris is knocking.
Ding Dong
As her eyes rolled into the back of her head, she screamed, “DONT ANSWER THE DOOR!”
I awoke suddenly, heart pounding in my chest and I realised, it was the doorbell that had woken me.
Such Cold Hands
You always had such cold hands. You told me was just the weather, but I’m beginning to believe it might have more to do with your cold, cold heart.
Little White Trails
My wishes make up the little white trails that follow the shooting stars. You see they haven’t come true yet, because they’re still trying to catch up.
Warning
Don’t read the next sentence. When you read the last word, I die.

“It’s only an English grade,” the father said. My boss’ pen, balanced on one Jesuitical finger, tipped downwards, and along it slid my modest dreams.
Watching
She sits there on the couch, clutching on the phone and her eyes darting around in terror while she stumbles in her words to whoever she was talking at the other end of the line. It doesn’t matter; she will let me in one or another.
Coffee
I watched as all my colleagues in the conference room downed the coffee I made for them while waiting for the boss’s arrival. I hope they like the cyanide I added in there.
Windows
One night I looked in the mirror and I saw my face, pale and warped with the most horrifying expression. I was really confused, until I realized it was a window.
Horrfying
As I opened the fridge, my heart sank, and I felt like fainting. It was completely empty
Darkness
Peter lived in darkness. A darkness for which he knew there would be no end, as he forgot where he put the spare fuses
Appropriation
She told me if I did it, the effects would wear off in twenty four hours. It’s been four days, and I’m pretty certain I’m not getting my body back; I wonder what she’s doing with it?
Lies Joss Whedon Told Me
Did you know that refusing to drink the blood of a vampire doesn’t necessarily protect you from becoming one yourself?
I didn’t.

My parents feed my sister through a hole she cut in the door to her room, which she has bolted shut from the inside, because, according to them, she doesn’t want to eat with us anymore.
When I ask why not, my mother said, “She doesn’t like what happened to your other sister.”
