"I only see black; no tomorrow," she gravely told of my fortune. "That's not funny", I protest, "I'm not paying for that," her anger was quick - her movement faster - as she stabbed a knife into my throat #horror#writer#writingcommunity
It's been three days since my carer collapsed on our short holiday, yet my locked-in syndrome won't let me move. So I lie here, literally baking in the mediterranean sun: dehydrated, starving; no help will come; but, I won't die staring at a hospital room ceiling #horror#writer
“Someone is standing outside your house, can I confirm that all your doors and windows are secure? They are inside your house now; stay calm and find a secure area, the police are on their way... hello, stay on the line please, hello... hello are you there...” #horror#writer
My job was to stay awake, to keep watch and warn the other villagers if we were attacked; I failed when the moon was full and woke up to half screams and gurgled whimpers. The werewolves had slaughtered my family and everyone else; now they were snarling at me. #horror#writer
My wife was a teacher at the village school, before it was rebuilt after the horrible fire. She teaches there still, it's just that only I can see and hear her; I work there now, just to stay close to her. #horror#writer#writingcommunity
“I found something in the garden,” my kid said, leading me to a spot near the back fence where a skeletal hand was half exposed in the dirt. I told him to call the police; but he just grinned, then I felt cold hard fingers wrap around my wrist, and pull. #horror#writingcommunity
“Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary”, my daughter and her friends chant into their tiny mirrors during her sleepover. Too late, I run to the bedroom and find them, mirrors smashed and manic; I scream for someone to help, help me stop them from scratching their own eyes out. #horror#writer
One of the most upsetting images i have seen on Twitter. It is not mental health services who are key to fighting this epidemic, it is us. All of us. We must do more.
'Bring bring', 'bring bring', 'bring bring'… the phone rang echoing through the house in the wee dark hours. No one answered; whoever was calling was too late. #writer#horror#writingcommunity
We played hide and seek in an abandoned hospital and I had to find one last friend: I found him in a cupboard, petrified and mute. Slowly, I led him outside, away from that thing in there: he never came outside again and I never returned to that place. #horror#writingcommunity
Being an only child, I imagined the dolls in my vintage collection loved me like a sister. That is until my dad brought home a really old doll of a little boy in a sailor suit; he turned them against me. #writer#horror#writingcommunity
I was terrified of spiders and never thought twice about killing them on sight: but one snuck up on me, bit me and left me paralysed. Now they are coming for me, thousands of them, crawling over me - killing me - with a million tiny bites. #horror#writingcommmunity#Writer
I was doing the washing up when I looked up to see a face staring at me through my kitchen window; a horrible face. I screamed, but I couldn’t move, only stare into its horrible eyes and scream; nobody came, and still I screamed… #author#Writer#WritingCommunity
