Metal sheared, the gun stopped firing, and the truck rocked under the force of the blow. Jamie and the other rangers scattered, their rifles blazing angry trails of fire into the night, but the bear didn’t seem to notice their bullets. Fast as lightning, the creature swatted Darren into a nearby tree, his body flying end-over-end. Even with my ears ringing, and the gunfire in the background, I hea...

The worst thing I could do was start freaking out. I just had to keep pushing.  And then I felt it—a gust of wind, warm and unexpected, brushing against my face. My first thought was that it must be an air current, but then I realized it wasn't wind at all. It was breathing. Slow, deliberate, and impossibly close. My blood ran cold as the realization hit me: someone was there with me, right in fro...

Sanity is an ancient lie, it’s a lie as old as consciousness. Sanity is our imagined common denominator, that nonexistent place we are said to converge. Insanity is as real as anything else. Consider what goes on in the privacy of your mind. How often does reality cease to measure up?

"What the—" Tori breathes out, her voice trembling. The 'swimmer' has elongated limbs, unnaturally pale skin that almost glows under the sun, and eyes—dark, void-like—that don't reflect any light. As the waves lap around him, his form shifts, less human and more... something else.

I pointed down to the coffin, moving my finger in the direction of the marks, "Scratch marks. It looks like the boy tried to claw his way out." I kept my voice low. He leaned down to closer examine the marks, blinked sadly and shook his head. "No, they don't" He insisted again, then added, "....... don't say anything."

We start tapping along the walls, listening intently. The sound changes subtly as we reach a particular section. It's hollow, distinctly different from the solid thuds elsewhere. I press my ear against the wall, straining to listen. I hear something unexpected – a faint, rustling sound. It’s too deliberate to be dismissed as mere settling of an old house. It's too big, too rhythmic to be a rodent....

I looked down the cul-de-sac towards the big gray colonial and frowned. It was more than just a house with some old lady in it and I knew it. The way people acted about it and talked about it made that obvious. The feeling you got when looking at its darkened windows made it all the more clear. That pull. That need to see what's inside.

With that, I darted out the door after Jamie, casting another glance back to placate the urge to take in Sean’s chiseled features one more time. Instead, I watched him slump down behind his desk and pull a small newspaper clipping from the top drawer. I only had a moment, and from the angle I couldn’t see clearly what it was, but I thought I saw the silhouette of a slender red-haired girl in an of...

The audio’s signature definitely looked like whale song, and, for the most part, it sounded like it too. But I could hear why he’d drawn the comparison to the 52-hertz whale. The size of the splotch on the sonar screen suggested a very large whale, likely a blue whale if that’s really what it was. But the song definitely didn’t sound completely like that of a blue whale. Unlike 52 Blue, it wasn’t...

I wake up again in the cold sweat that I’ve become used to. It’s that same dream that always comes after she disappears. I never used to dream. Kelsey said it’s because I had no imagination. What I wouldn’t give for her to say that to me just one more time, but that’s why I’m here isn’t it? The dream gets longer, more vivid the further I follow her. It must mean I’m getting close. I pulled over at...

I wonder so many times how many lives have been changed forever in the dark corners of the world. How many courses altered, shifted, or stopped all together with a simple twist of fate? How many existences' have been lifted up or burned to the ground in the places most people pass by without a second thought? I think about it all the time because the direction of my life was decided in a place lik...

But there was something else. I couldn’t see it - behind me were just broken white tiles - but something was there. Dread crept through me as I remained still, locked in a staring contest with my own reflection. I dared not move. The buzzing returned, a presence gripping my very being. It was as if I stood on the edge of a cliff, knowing full well that stepping off would be fatal. I knew that if I...

My interest was piqued. I remembered the mansion well – it had once belonged to pop sensation Emily Willis, who had famously gone "crazy" shortly after moving in. The press had had a field day with Emily's public meltdowns and eventual departure from the house. And now, it seemed, the mansion had claimed another victim.

I screamed because I wasn’t prepared to see her face. Mum was smiling. Not a wholesome smile. It was a taut grin that etched an unnerving crescent shape across her cheeks. There was nothing unnatural about the grin, but it looked painful. And it appeared as if cataracts had taken the entirety of her pupils. “Mum?” I asked weakly. “Do you hear me?” My Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wXzsnnD...

Whoever Lupin was, he was now our prime suspect. I looked out the window, my eyes drawn to the shadowy swamp, a place filled with secrets and mysteries. The bayou had seen much over the years, and it felt as though it were watching us now, waiting to see what we would do next.

“When did he die?” The M.E. examined Dom as though he were nothing more than a side of beef. “At a glance? Three days. I won’t have a better answer until I open him up.” Dom was still awake when they put him into a body bag and zipped it up. He felt a stirring of fear beneath the cold numbness, but he was too tired to worry about it now. Later, he thought. He would panic later. For now, Dom slept....

The sight of that distant figure filled me with dread. Though he wasn't doing anything obviously sinister, I suspected that he was the same person who had hidden from me in the clearing. If that was true, then my group was being followed. Between him, my foot, and my companions' strange demeanors, I was close to calling it quits and turning around right then and there. But then again, turning arou...

My life had been a mixture of living on the road and dwelling within his derelict house, all trying to avoid the law. Emma's family had escaped, and my.. friend would be a lie and captor too strong a word, never moved far from his residence. My home no longer brought comfort. The small walls felt containing, suffocating, and the dark dreary walls closed in on me. My Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...

The jungle canopy shudders under the thunderous roar of the Skyhawks. Suspended for a fleeting moment, the world seems to hold its breath. Then, with a precision born of countless sorties, the aircraft release their payload. The objects, canister-like in shape, descend with a grim inevitability, their trajectory marking a path towards the heart of the enemy’s position. As the canisters impact, an...

Simon frantically tried a random door and disappeared into a room. Roaring, the creature tried to squeeze through the relatively small door. It looked like a cockroach trying to slip through a tiny crack. It worked its body through the threshold, cracking the wood. It smashed its large, scarred hands against the wood. I heard the building shake with every blow and saw deep fissures running through...

"Hi, Nova," I replied, my voice cracking slightly with emotion. "How do you feel?" "'Feel'?" Nova paused as she processed the question. "I am... operational. My sensors are functioning within expected parameters. Is that what you mean?" I chuckled, realizing how human my question had sounded. "Not exactly, but that’s good enough for now.” Written By: PageTurner627- https://pastebin.com/3kqUc989  ...
