Scared To Death

"Hanging from the ceiling. Swaying back and forth, holding that cross just like I’d heard, giant grin on her face, and those dark, hateful eyes staring right at me.

Hell WAITS!”    A truly terrifying story  of a murder turned ghost that haunts the wood...

"We watched silently as Ronald swam towards his destination. And then suddenly….  Ronald disappeared from our view. He slipped under the water, hands flailing for a moment, before his hands sunk under as well. And he never came back up. Moments passed. We waited with bated breath for him to come up. Streaks of red appeared on the surface, pale at first, them blooming out into a giant scarlet cloud...

"I slipped off my blanket and put my feet on the floor as I realized that the bathroom light was on even though I distinctly remembered turning it off before I went to bed.  I cautiously creeped over to the bathroom and peaked my head around the corner.

"Emilia," he said, turning back to her. "There are people out there coming towards us. People with hoods." "I know," she said calmly. "Sorry, Layton. I really do have feelings for you, but it has to bed fed." "Fed?" Layton didn't like the way that sounded at all. "The beast" he mumbled as he put on his shoes and jacket.

"You don’t want to be with me,” Kris replied, her voice gravely and low. Laurie realized that there was still laughter— a different, high-pitched laughter, at the same time as Kris was speaking. “You want to be with them. You hate me.” “I don’t hate you,” she begged, trying not to let her legs give out. She felt like the dolls were closing in on her, could even feel the brush of cloth against her...

"The mist now surrounded both men, shrouding them in a haze. Slowly, the man reached out, gripping Cesar's hand tightly in his own. Cesar let out a sigh of relief.  The man’s black eyes shifted to Mario. “Bcasqua” he said in a low, raspy voice. Before Mario could take another breath, the man pulled Cesar with him over the edge of the cliff and down they both went." Dan kicks off the show with a cl...
