I want to move but am held fast, I want to scream but there is no air and my lungs are filled with dust, there is no hope, there is no end, there is only existence

The moment the bride threw the bouquet, the bridesmaids started to scream and I looked down at my sister’s empty grave.

I felt bad for his parents, they were good people, but I knew what the escalating trail of animal corpses he’d left behind meant and there wasn’t room for two of us.

Then she looked in the mirror at the dozens of surgical scars covering her body and whispered, “Daddy, if all those operations were to fix my eyes, why did the doctors need to cut me open everywhere else?”

Fighting back familiar tears, my sister quietly cleaned up his mess before taking a shard of plate glass to his throat and pouring the still hot chicken grease into the wound.

What no one could explain was why her body floated past the water and towards the sky.

They were just happy that their grandchildren were finally able to be happy.

When I peered through a side window to see if something had gotten stuck in the door, I saw an unfamiliar man crouching in the dark, holding the handle and staring at me with a grin.

I don't care if "newest research" says it's not enough, if you dare use anything else I will have you fired and blacklisted from the entire industry.

Reuben, please let us in we're sorry we didn't mean to hurt you or scare you, we just want to be with you forever, Reuben, inside your brain tissue and your skull and your skin, OH REUBEN, YOUR SKIN---

It doesn’t help that some of these screams sound like my missing younger brother.

It makes it difficult to get medical services when my boss had a meltdown and literally tore into my co-worker for coming late to work.

The child smiles, knowing it now receives all the food having silenced the cries of the others.

Then something tickles the back of my throat, and I slowly pull a long, familiar hair from between my lips.

I can't wait to see how they all react when I reattach them.

At 23:38:23, the radio frequency immediately ceased, but radios and televisions continued to whisper across America, "Daddy" "Mommy" "That" "Girl" "Isn't" "Me"

Your 12+ year companion dog tested positive after we tested the skunk that fought him...

Which drove him straight into the arms of the thing that his dog was trying to warn him of.

even after i buried her, her screams keep getting louder and louder.

I’m nothing but its vessel…

The smell was so strong I almost failed to dodge a utility pole that came crashing down right next to me, and when I looked in the direction it came from I saw a monstrous oily beast right before it unleashed an unholy terror inducing bellow upon us.
