Explosives are not why so many skyscrapers are missing their top few floors. Can't you see the tooth marks?

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

The gravekeeper instructed the new guy to tie bells around the corpses' ankle to tell them apart from the living.

The new guy nodded, trying his hardest to ignore the ringing sounds the gravekeeper made as he walked.

The good news about the chemical imbalance in my brain is that the Dementors can't lower my mood any further than it already is. The bad news is that despite knowing the spell, I can't make a Patronus to drive them off.

The jittering hand trembled upward, throwing a circle of light on the opposite wall.
Bright red smears gazed back.

They're getting better at seeming like real people. I swear, this one even sounds like it's begging me for the mercy it's never going to get.

The rumbling sound came from the drier three rows down from mine. When I opened it the girl's head stopped banging around in there, and she apologized for making such a racket.

I held my left hand up to look at the time. My right hand could feel that it was starting to go cold.

I opened an eye. Inside of it was a small key.

Wirtham felt at once the heat of some foreign hell as his flesh sizzled, eyes sinking into his vacuous, lain bare skull as steam arose from the fresh carcass.

When we came back from the patrol, our officer counted seven people.

We'd left with six.

Throughout history, there have been many monsters among men: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, bin Laden, Attila, Nero, Caligula, and so many more.

How naive we were to assume this world had already seen the greatest evil humanity could spit out.

The worst had passed, the struggle was over, and rest could finally be done in peace.

Except it followed them beyond the grave.

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

Okay now for the actual post


He had fell down the hole for seven hours, yet there was no floor in sight.

His fall was soon interrupted by a large web...
