Memory Held in a Glass Jar

Intangible is something you cannot physically touch, yet you feel it deeply in your spirit, like pain, faith, or healing. I’ve held on to the memory of you pulling me close, our bodies curled together in a fetal position, a moment that felt like love but was really the last illusion I allowed myself to believe. I captured that moment in my heart, holding tightly to something I now know was never real, just a reflection of what my mind longed for and what you knew you could take from me. You craved my body, you craved my mind, you craved my t...

You Better Love Me!

Julia Moore was an intelligent, beautiful nerd attending a small university in Michigan. With her chestnut brown hair always tied back in a messy bun and her face buried in books or behind the glow of her laptop screen, she often felt out of place among the social butterflies and the athletes who dominated the campus. Despite her sharp wit and kind heart, she found it hard to connect with others, often feeling like an outsider in a world that prized popularity above all else.

A GHOULISH Encounter

Weekly Contest #119

As I'm making my way home from a late-night shift at the hell hole, constantly over-worked and underpaid, I take my usual shortcut down the dark alleyway, past the trash cans, the familiar junkies but wait. I slow my pace because I hear an unusual sound. First, the sound of dripping water combined with a savage mauling, wait-sucking, slurping sound as if an animal tearing through its prey ravenously. I stop dead in my tracks and see a woman with ghoulish-like eyes, dark and black. I was frozen, shocked, amazed, but also terrified. The Gho...
