In 2020, I lived in an apartment in New York City in Queens by myself I was close to my 29th birthday and since my 25th birthday, I had lost close to 50 lbs and gained some muscle, had a flat midsection, and had the first beginnings of a six-pack. I was by then, 5'11" and weighed 150 lbs, which was my goal weight. When I turned 24 though I peaked at close...
Alone in a room smothered by darkness, with only torrential rain beating against the window breaking the silence, Simon Matthews lay back on his couch. Not for the first time in recent months, he succumbed to his overwhelming feeling of paralysis. He'd been plagued with a bad lower back for months, but recently the pain's severity had increased, managing to...
I work as a social worker at the asylum for mentally disturbed persons. Many of the people there are eccentric and unpredictable. There was one old woman, who has been here for over a decade. She was always very quiet and rarely spoke to anyone. Nobody knew why she stayed as most of us thought she was quite normal. I learnt that she was admitted for mental d...
"I don't care what you think. It isn't a crime to prefer rich men," Rachel sat back comfortably in her chair. She isn't your average femme fatale Inspector Francis thought. "It is a crime to kill them," Detective Lopinski said. The inspector was content to let John carry the ball for a while. She was pretty sure the interrogation wasn't going anywhere. "Yo...

"I'm sorting the wedding album, which pictures do you want?" Like I would really want anything to remind me of my failed marriage with Sherry. I wanted to ask if she had any that showed her kissing my ass but decided against it, goddamned photographs anyway. That had been a lot of the problem between her and me, photographs, not to mention I hate to argue....
Chapter 8; To be a man, a husband, a father, in the dark. I am lying on a beach, in the sun. My skin, chilled to the bone only a few moments ago, now basks in the heat as it soaks into my body. My bones respond and begin to feel light again. The heat penetrates so thoroughly, so efficiently. I can feel heat; heat to the point where I feel wet from perspirat...
"Denise adjusts the demon mask, getting the fit just right over her eyes. She smiles deviously at you, her chest heaving." Based on an image by Curveball. It sat, grinning evilly, on a lighted pedestal nestled deeply inside the Tru Hollywood store, a perfect rendition of Mr. Twist, from last year's cult horror. A young woman cautiously steps into the light...
Merritt Jacobi looked down at the latest edition of 'Celebrity skinz' with a heavy heart. The article had quoted parts of the autopsy report and went into great detail describing the murder of Brad Lowell. He was overwhelmed with worry and wondered how this had happened.
