What if, instead of candy, we passed out something else, something we all could use. For those of you who thought that I was proposing marriage by writing this Halloween Proposal, I'm not. I'm proposing a change in how we celebrate Halloween and trick or treat for that matter in general. What I am proposing is that it's time for a change in what we pass out...
Author's Note: My contribution for the Halloween 2003 Contest was not inspired by Ghosts or Ghouls or Vampires. Instead it was inspired by people. People who look like you and I do, but who live with their own 'demons', their other selves. Thank you for taking the time to read it and I look forward to your votes and thoughts. *** It was Lisa's fault, it re...
In the feeble glow of my torch the mist was swirling across the freshwater marshland as I trudged along the twisting country road clutching the empty petrol can. My euphoria had vanished as soon as this sodden mist would do in next morning’s forecast sun when I realised I was out of fuel and my mobile phone had lost its charge. I was stranded in the middle...
This is my first story I am publishing so any feedback is more than welcome Happy Halloween All! It has been edited as I had a name change midway through and forgot to change it!! ___________________________________________ The party was booming. Slutty cats and vampires were all mingling in the living room. The Smiths' had a Halloween party every year,...
Sigh, It's another Halloween year in October here in the town of Warren Valley, Ohio. For me, I just stay at home in my house with some twisters or butterfingers watching the Nightmare Before Christmas or listening to the monster mash on Youtube. One week ago before Halloween, I got a call from Jake. An old friend from college saying that he would like to ha...
This was in a small college just three years ago. It was and still is a liberal arts school, originally founded by Methodists and retaining some prudish characteristics although not officially connected to any religion for years. With only around 2400 students, each of us probably knew at least half of the others and perhaps half of that half we knew really...
The only thing better than being nearly four months pregnant with a baby that was doing its damndest to wreak havoc on her body, was getting to just over five months pregnant without anything further happening to threaten either her or the growing fetus. Domino spent twenty-one or so hours a day laying down with her head just slightly raised, and the other f...
Here's a quick one for the Halloween contest. I'd say don't take it too seriously, but I know that will never happen. As I'm going closer fifty years old, I do have a lot of regret for some of my actions of my youth (hint on that in my story Intervention). Barry is based on a kid from my high school who was bullied and then horribly pranked. He also had a ni...
Why is it when people share stories about losing their virginity, it sounds like a fucking fairy tale? If you just dig a little deeper and you learn the truth is nowhere near close. Oh, and don't get me started on the bullshit stories people write about how when a girl is deflowered by the man of her dreams, making it sound like a loving gesture of passion a...
I was 18 and I was alone at home for the last week of October and the first week of November. I had dressed up in women's clothes before, just sitting around the house with nothing else to do. So when my friend George called me Halloween day to invite me to a Halloween party, I said id go with him since I had nothing else to do that day. I sat around all day...
