Philip decided to stay in on Friday night which was also Halloween. He planned to catch up on some reading, do laundry and work on his paper. His roommate, Adam, had traveled with the college football varsity team for a game and would not be back until the next day. His dormitory was left empty due to the parties being held at all of the fraternity and sorority houses on campus. Philip returned to his quad from the downstairs laundry area after transferring his laundry from the washer to the dryer. He grabbed the Introduction to Psychology b...

His favorite blanket was draped around his shoulders and tied at his neck to act as his cape. In Billy’s hand was his favorite toy figurine. His bare feet made thuds in succession against the hardwood floors as he flew his action figure in the air. He stopped alongside the towering staircase that curved upward to the second floor. The banister was an old, chipped collectio...

As I sit here at the kitchen table allowing the sun that has crept in through the window to warmly embrace my skin while offering the security for which I yearn, I cannot shake the urge to want to reveal what has been on my mind since last night. What I experienced was nothing like what I had ever experienced before. I am confused as to whether the bizarre adventure was scary enough to be a nightmare or just an unsettling occurrence beyond reality. Would anyone even believe something so weird came from my mind? I questioned myself. Th...
