ReplyDeleteMason was on graveyard shift in a old car lot place when it starts to downpour and thunder out of nowhere. The dramatic change in the weather didn't frighten him. This didn't frighten Mason because strange things are always happening at the old car lot. The old car lot was frighteningly itself, it had no life just death written all over it. It had no plants not one true or no little animals. The rain slowed down only a little Mason decided to go to the vending machine outside the shed of the carlot. As he walked out so did an enormous big black figure. As he walked all he could think of is the Loud banging he heard behind the shed. He got a soft drank n two bag of chips ,as Mason walked back to the shed the figure found its way behind him. The big black figure walked behind Mason until he got a sudden brush of freezing cold air and sharply turned around to see nothing but a bunch of dead old cars. The figure stood in front of Mason now when he turned around. Mason face went dull all life drained out of him just like that old dead carlot. The figured looked into Mason's eyes and stole his life Mason grab the figure but couldn't get hold of nothing, there was nothing to grab. Eyes roll of his head and his legs went numb and he fell to the floor as the figure lost eye contact Mason got up with a haze in terror. Running for his soul he ran to the exit tumbling tripping over car parts and disconnect headlights. The figure swaying through the sky almost catching him Mason ran into a wall and went into a heavy sleep. Mason woke up and was greeted by darkness he quickly stood up scan the walls for a light switch. “click”
ReplyDeleteConfused he found himself back in the shed of the old dead carlot. Rubbing his head he had a knot. Rubbing his eyes he remembered the figured and sprinted to the exit. Unlocking the his card door seeing a note on his windshield. “we will meet again in time but the next time you would be dead”

ReplyDeleteOn a cold winter night in Paris, France 2001, two men by the names of joey smith and robert evans did something that no person should ever be allowed to do. Go inside the forbidden haunted catacombs. Joey and robert one day where walking around the city, where they stumbled upon an abandoned subway tunnel. They decided to go inside and go check it out. As they were walking inside, Robert’s foot got stuck. Joey decided to take out his phone flashlight and shined it at robert’s foot. Then that’s when they discovered this dark small little cave like tunnel. As soon as they saw the tunnel, joey helped robert and both decided to enter the mini tunnel. They had to crawl and crawl and crawl for about a mile and then the tunnel collapsed. They both landed on these weird white misshapen rocks. Joey turned on his phone flash light and screamed. They landed on top of human bones. The air smelt rotten, they both felt so much negative energy that they got up and tried to find a way out. They were running for hours but still there wasn’t an exit in site. Robert soon came to conclusion and realised that they were inside the forbidden catacombs. They were running, panicking trying to escape. Their phones had no service and had low battery. Eventually robert panicked that he ran away screaming leaving joey all alone. Joey decided to look for him. It was like a maze, turn after turn. Soon, Joey found a small tunnel in the ceiling, he climbed the wall and got up and then found another tunnel. Eventually he got out and went to find help. By the time he got back with help, the tunnel collapsed and was blocked off with rocks and rubble leaving robert inside and never to be seen again.

ReplyDeleteIt is April 1st, 2015 as I was on my way to my sister’s boyfriend’s farm for a party. I had my headphones in because I didn’t wanna listen to the trashy music they had on in the car. The car ride was pretty long so I decided to take a nap. When I woke up it was late and the sun had set. We had finally arrived. We were supposed to get their earlier but I guess there was traffic I didn’t bother to ask. There were no cars outside. We got inside of the little house that was on the farm and all the lights were out. We all went to use our flashlights at the same time. They came on for a split second just for our phones to die. In that split second that our flashlights were on we saw something written on the wall in red writing. When my sister and I asked what it was her boyfriend said it was just graffiti from a few years back. I knew right then something was wrong because I could tell that the writing was still wet and I saw exactly what it had said. He went to go get candles and I told my sister that we need to go home right at that moment. When her boyfriend came in after like 10 minutes he said he couldn’t find any. So I asked for his car keys because I said I thought I saw a flashlight in the backseat. I told my sister to come along and help me look. We got to the car and I told her to get in the driver seat which she did. I got in the car and I gave her the keys and I told her to drive and not to look back. She was confused and she said that she didn’t wanna leave him here alone. I told her what the writing on the wall said “ The end is near.” She did not believe me and she said she wasn’t leaving him here. So I told her to start the car and look inside of the house. She did and what her and I both saw was an image I will never forget. There was 5 people inside of the house with animal masks on and they all had some kind of weapon with them. My sister then decided to put the car in reverse and go home. As she went to back up a gunshot went off and went through the back and front windshield. It was her boyfriend wearing an animal mask. He slowly walked up towards the window with the gun pointing at her. The other 5 people that were inside started slowly walking towards the car. Her boyfriend took off his mask and asked if I had found the flashlight. He laughed and told us to both get out of the car which we both did. The 5 people grabbed both my sister and I and dragged us inside. My sister was freaking out and I yelled at her to calm down and that I would get us both out of here. We got inside and they tied us up and the lights came on and her boyfriend walked in. He told the other 5 to remove their masks. It was 5 people I didn’t recognize but my sister did. She seemed in shock at who these people were. I asked who these people were and they all laughed. Her boyfriend responded “On the way here we met up with them. You were asleep. There’s Sammy, Andrew, Nigel, Irelyn, me (his name is Tim), and Yassim. We make the group Sanity. I know you have heard of us haven’t you Tony?” Sanity is a satanic group that has been responsible for many deaths in the southern side of New Jersey. No one could ever figure out who the exact people were. I asked my sister if she knew them and she said that she did and that she didn’t know that this was gonna happen to us. He put a gun to both of our heads. He started to countdown from 10 to 1. He started slow and counted faster and faster. My sister and I both said we loved each other before he pulled the trigger. He pulled it and they just made a clicking noise and the group laughed and they all screamed April Fool’s Day.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much anguish in the world. There is the poor starving on the streets while higher up business men only drink the finest wine with no fear to waste a drop. Corruption is what we are surrounded by,lying to ourselves that nice day is enough reason for our brains to be happy. Lets face it drugs and alcohol.are the only thing that can release high amount of dopamine and seratonin and oxytocin in our systems making us fall in love and be truly happy.
ReplyDeleteJulie was a chemist for experimental prescription drugs. Everyday she did controlled experiments for drugs for menopause and nicotine add of the drugs she worked on was usually the commercial of pleasing images with fast speaker saying the side effects include kidney failure or death. She herself suffered from a mental disease that she refused to take pills for she was in the industry herself so she knew the side effects and she would not be herself. One night she was in the lab and one of her control experiments went horribly wrong. There was a white room with two rusty bunk beds where the volunteers would stay while under the influence of the experimental drugs. Julie was watching them through the little screen watching their activity all of sudden and errie sound echoed through the lab and the image flickered. When the sound disappeared and the image was clear it showed the volunteers gruesomely stained all over the white room. There lungs have exploded.
After Julie became completely hysterical her boss told her to go home and relax. She walked home in foggy fall night. Completely unaware of her surroundings was very soothing. Her heartbeat slowed and she thought about what could've happened to make this happen. She tore herself apart. Self hatred is the sharpest of all blades. That night she unlocked the door and flew herself to her floor . She reached into her lab coat and pulled out the drugs that killed the volunteers. It was suppose to be to help you sleep soothingly. Her bloodshot eyes read it ad figured why not. Why not? She took them there right on the floor, but she did not feel her lungs explode.
She woke up later, sad that she woke up. She sighed and cleaned herself up and then ready to go back to the lab. When she walked onto the streets they were empty. It was strange for it being almost noon. The streets have even gotten fogger to the point where she could not see her own hand in front of her face. She kept walking and walking but she ended up right at her front step again . her heartbeat was racing she began to run down the street till sweat drenched her back and she ended up at the foot at her front steps once more. She created this reality. She sat down with her forehead in her hands. This was limbo and she created her misery and this street will be the extend of her world for her breathing life but for the life after death.
