A mother's lament
Sanilla Tennessee is right on the Mississipi River. Its waters are green and murky with things often getting caught in the dam from the next town over. There's copperheads swimming alongside children that poke at the minnows. Baby strollers and bodies alike often wash up on its shores.

Jackson's Descent
Sanilla Tennesse is the type of place you settle once you've given up hope or had kids too early. It's cracked roads are home to speed demons and spinsters alike. It's easy to get lost there, both physically and spiritually. Most try to leave the second they can.

The Chase
Late summer happens to be one of my favorite times of the year. The reason being that the temperature starts to drop a little and that makes a big difference when living in the southern United States. My favorite part of that season is when the mosquitos start to disappear, hate the bites. Feels like that if they're allowed, they'll drain you dry of all your vital fluids.

2 Scariest Horror Story
Story - 1: It was a dark, haunted night. The moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the only light came from the stars. The wind was blowing, and the trees were swaying. The leaves were rustling and the branches were creaking. It was as if the trees were alive and trying to warn the people of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.

7 Scary Urban Legends
Anyone who has ever lived in a city will attest to the fact that they can be extremely creepy places. With so many hidden corners, alleyways and abandoned buildings, there are plenty of opportunities for sinister things to take place. From the old legend of Bloody Mary to more modern urban myths like Slenderman, there is no shortage of scary stories which originate from cities across the world. Cities tend to have their own identity and characters, so it’s not surprising that so many urban legends center on them. They also tend to have a lot of lonely people who are willing to believe even the most outlandish stories about local landmarks, hotels or houses. Whether you live in a city or are just visiting, these urban legends are sure to give you goosebumps regardless of where you are!

Life's Bane
“There’s no time to explain” They choked out in a hurried breath, stopping only briefly to take their friend’s hand and continue running.

Lost + Hungry
STAGES We had done some things. Some, unspeakable. Others we were proud to boast about. But we found ourselves here after our last "unspeakable"... Let's call it a sin, it fits with where it seems we are.

It Will Come Back
Something was out there, in the murky swamp, and it was eating her food. It started with the trash can out back being overturned. Then the pies and breads she set on the windowsill to cool started going missing. She didn’t care much about whatever was out there, after all the problem was simple enough to solve. She started letting things cool on the kitchen counter, both to deter whatever was out there and to save some money, since she couldn’t afford to make daily trips to the nearest town’s grocery and keep up with her aging father’s abundant medical bills. He was bedridden now, iller than she’d ever seen him.

Nope review: Is Jordan Peele's latest sci-fi horror his best film yet?
In 2017, Jordan Peele, best known, at the time, for his comedy work on the popular sitcom Key and Peele, and a variety of feature film outings, including Keanu, shocked cinemagoers around the world with his horror film debut, Get Out, which singularly redefined the genre, receiving critical acclaim and later earning the director/writer his first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The mixed response from audiences over its genre notwithstanding (something Peele later lamented when acknowledging the genre confusion caused by the Oscar-winning flick), Peele created something truly special with Get Out, providing a terrifying and wholly unique look at liberal racism through intensely provocative social commentary and a deeply unsettling premise.

There's Something Wrong With Prentice
Ms. Turner was mid sentence about the effects of World War II on the US economy when the classroom door to room 13 flew open unexpectedly, slamming against the wall behind it. Prentice slithered in, shoulders hunched, his black sweatshirt entirely too big for his small frame, the hood so far over his head that his eyes could barely be seen peeking out from underneath. He hurried through the doorway, examining his feet as he strode to the back of the room, avoiding the classroom’s wandering eyes.

Ghost Crabbing
“Wanna go ghost crab huntin with us?” The question startled Brad. He looked down and saw two kids standing at the edge of the marsh with a bucket. It was not uncommon, people always walk down towards the marsh during low tide. It was however strange, in Brad’s mind, to be asked by two strange kids if he wanted to go down there. Brad had grown up near the island and usually walked the causeway to the beach a couple times a week. This particular day he happened to stop on one of the small bridges that crossed the salt-water creek and look out across the marsh lands.

Gericht
The guns stopped firing right as the rain did at two pm. Private Muller lit a cigarette scavenged from a nearby body—a boy, who couldn’t be a day older than seventeen. Muller appreciated a moment of relative silence. Somewhere far down the line, he could still hear the big guns going, the gray horizon lit with bursts of red and orange glow. Here it was quiet.
