Weekly Contest #372
CW: Supernatural horror Ramsey, New Jersey September 1983 The source of the knocks on my bedroom wall could not be explained. Most nights I hear three knocks on the wall shared with our guest room, where our grandmother stayed in the last years of her life. Since my grandmother’s death, there has been a slow debilitation and breakdown of most of the major appliances in our house. The house now suffers from sudden cold spells and the occasional odor of rotten eggs and sulfur. My father would scoff at any suggestion of the paranormal. He ...

Beverly Massachusetts, October 2004 “Beverly Tower, November 2496 X-Ray, left base, runway-niner, touch and go,” I reported.“November 2496X-Ray, Beverly Tower, runway niner, clear touch and go,’” the tower instructed."Clear touch and go, November 2496X-Ray."“On the next circuit, we can break off and see the hospital.

Taking advantage of their caregiver Mrs. Engel’s predictable routine—a hearty supper, tea, a glass of Madeira, and an evening siesta, Hattie and her friends, Eliza, Beatrice, and Kat, s...
Weekly Contest #369
……“I regret to inform you that we will not be moving forward with your application and we will be pursuing other candidates who are more qualified." Molly King -Manufactures Hanover New York, New York September 6, 1983. Another rejection. I have now been rejected from every job I have applied for since graduation. The woman with the strawberry blonde hair, and gold rimmed glasses, enjoying her Glenlivet and soda at the bar I have worked at in Upper Saddle River since 1980, was correct. Reading my palm, she bluntly said I would go on a journe...
Weekly Contest #368
warning -self abuse, vivid descriptions and thoughts with some reference to mental health. Watertown, Massachusetts, 1978 You must believe me when I tell you I was never a paranoid old man, languishing through a daily meager existence, jealous of bugs for they, unlike me, at least walk free while I atrophy away in this coffin of a room for forty dollars a week complete with a cot, a chair, a table and one box, that no doubt holds a demon. As I told you, I was not always this way. Not until I was without care in the world, making time with He...
