THEY’RE HERE TO STAY

Look at the pretty sky.
Such beauty way up high.
Clouds drifting by so slowly
Like a shrine to what’s holy.

All of this will soon come to an end.
Don’t bother to search for a friend.
The moon will rise up in the night sky
Into the danger from what lurks high.

Dark shadows will descend onto the sand.
Shrieking louder than a marching band.
What do they want from our peaceful town?
Death and mayhem–all served with a frown.

Run for your life if you still can.
A danger for each and every man.
The Dead are here to stay.
They didn’t come to play.

THE NIGHT COMES

The night comes soft and quiet.
Dragging its feet.
Lurking in alleys and hallways.
Hiding its long tresses.
Come to me, night.
Come to me, now.
I can’t wait anymore.
Your time on earth is limited.
Enter my domain.
A domain filled with darkness.
Filled with spirits, holding
their pent-up breaths for you.
Yes, come closer.

INTO THE WOODS

Beautiful by Kevin Russ

The woods are mysterious.
Who knows what lurks inside
the dark shadows?
Are there spirits or ghosts?
Evil waiting to pounce on
unsuspecting victims?
Or maybe there’s just beauty
and warmth.
And maybe a deer or two.

FOLLOW THE CANDLES

THE DARK HALLWAY AT END HOUSE

     As they continued along the long hallway, the candles in front of them lit up…while the ones behind them went dark. It was leading them somewhere but where?

     On the right wall, a third door hung open with steps leading down to the basement. Louise refused to move forward another step. “I don’t want to go down into the basement of this house. It could have a dungeon or even a torture chamber.”

     Mike glared back at her over his shoulder. “You have the choice of either remaining here alone or following us downstairs.”

     Louise couldn’t believe how cruel Mike was to her. She was used to men flirting with her and doing things for her; she used to be very popular before she’d arrived in this town. But she didn’t know how to deal with a man who didn’t seem to like her at all. For now…she would just follow along.

     The steps were slippery without any railings for support, forcing them to grab hold of the slimy walls. After making their way down the wet stairs, they heard the door slam shut behind them. Mike ran back up the stairs. “Now we have to continue forward, since there’s no other way out,” Mike said with a new quiver to his voice.

     Mike wasn’t so brave anymore. Louise was distracted by a cold wetness. The dampness was coming from her feet: her feet were wet. She looked down and was horrified to find herself standing in a basement filled with water—water that reached above her ankles and covered most of her leg. She couldn’t understand it; the water had not been there a second ago. A whole pool of water couldn’t just appear on a whim from out of nowhere.

THE DEAD GAME

The house on the hill looks to be deserted.
No one answers our knock at the door.
We enter a dark hallway.
All we can see is a staircase
standing before us.
Candlelight flickers from wall sconces.
Should we follow the candles
or flee before it’s too late?
Characters never flee in
horror stories.
And that is what they’re in.
