Thriller

• The Curse They Bring

          Everywhere I go, they’re there. Even when I can’t see them, I know that they are following me. I’ve done everything I can to escape—truly, I have—but it’s been a futile attempt. I fear that they will always be with me; following me, watching me, talking to me. I don’t think that I will ever Read More

• Insatiable

          There’s something about fear that I like.        I think it’s the way that people act when they’re afraid. I like the way that their eyes get wide when they realise they’re in danger.

          Soft music flows up and down the halls, drawing my attention. The school closed hours ago. There shouldn’t be anyone here besides me and the other janitor right now.
