Martha: “Bye, Sarah!” Sarah: “Have a lovely weekend.” Martha: “You too, dear.” Our accountant Martha left for the elevator. I packed my stuff, set my hair with a bunch of bobby pins and got up from my chair. It was finally time to go home. Everyone has left already. I sat down at the bus … Continue reading Stalking is Injurious to Health!
The man watching the Snowflakes!
Last winter my brother and I went to this small cabin, owned by our uncle, in the mountain valley. We drove for 3 hours to reach that place. The area was so stranded that the closest hotel was 70 km away. But we were young and wanted to stay close to nature. My brother and … Continue reading The man watching the Snowflakes!
Craiglist: Room for rent
The year was 2017. I had just moved out and was house-hunting to begin a new chapter in life. My mom found this ad on craigslist for a house that came with every basic facility like laundry, kitchen etc. The picture of the owner was of a man in his late 70’s who mentioned renting … Continue reading Craiglist: Room for rent
Silent night!
I was sleeping in my room dreaming of Santa Claus. He was riding his sleigh pulled by reindeer, hovering amidst the clouds and then over the moon. The sky was filled with stars and the night of Christmas was all set to shower joy over the children; it was one of the most beautiful dreams … Continue reading Silent night!
Free Hugs!
The photograph you see as the feature image is a part of a police file of a mass murderer. During a raid in a forest, a group of policemen found this house and this peculiar sign, when entering it, could not tolerate the horror. At least 7 dead bodies of children between the ages of … Continue reading Free Hugs!
Elevator Game!
I’m Jenson and 3 months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I went to a friend’s sleepover party where everyone watched videos about the famous elevator game. Though the night ended with fun and jokes, the weird game ritual stuck in my mind longer than it should have. So, once I came … Continue reading Elevator Game!
The Halloween Barbie!
Before every Halloween, my sister used to get excited. She loved trick or treating and never missed a house in our neighbourhood. Every Halloween my parents used to dress us up and we would get onto the mission - "who gets the maximum number of candies?" Halloweens were the most prominent childhood memory I have … Continue reading The Halloween Barbie!
My Grandma made Special Candies!
Apart from trick-or-treating and the town hall dinner, there was one particular reason I eagerly waited for Halloween every year. The reason was my grandma. She would visit us the day before Halloween and spend an entire week in our house. She spoiled me in every possible way. Even the town kids looked forward to … Continue reading My Grandma made Special Candies!

Chucky followed me!
I remember the day our town took down the last single-screen movie theatre. I was standing there and watching that cursed place going down like an old, tired, broken man. Even if the place is gone, the horrifying memory it gave me remains fresh in my mind. I was 12 years old and went to … Continue reading Chucky followed me!
Into the Woods…
I was sitting on the hospital bed with a heavy bandage wrapped around my head. A doctor came in and asked - "Hi, I am Doctor Macey Graff. How are you feeling now, Mathew?""Little better…where is Shelly?" She is still in stock from last night. We had to put her on sedatives so that she … Continue reading Into the Woods…
Holy Cross Hospital.
I’m a male nurse at a hospital you should pray to God every night that you will never visit. Its name is Holy cross hospital. Pronounced like Dur-Th. My job is patient care, but unlike every other hospital in the world, patient care comes second at Holy cross. Self-preservation comes first. That’s because we don’t … Continue reading Holy Cross Hospital.
The Clown named, ‘Grinny’!
I was 12 years old when this incident happened. My dad went on a business trip for a week so it was just me and my mom. We lived in a quiet and safe neighbourhood where not once in a blue moon any criminal activity take place. It was Thursday afternoon and I was coming … Continue reading The Clown named, ‘Grinny’!
Mother B…
When our town got its first Panera Bread outlet, I decided to apply for a part-time job. I had a scooter hence could easily do deliveries. On my first day at work, it was Carl who came to talk to me first. Carl was the chef there and had a good reputation for his cooking … Continue reading Mother B…
Don’t look up!
“I’m telling you, it’s true.”“Yeah right! And how do you know that?”“Because the friend who told me this story, heard it from someone who faced this.”“Of course! Friend of a friend…what crap!”“Fine…if you don’t believe me then let’s do it. Unless you are scared!” Zee and I were having this argument; sitting in my car … Continue reading Don’t look up!
Creep House!
I was 10 years old when this incident took place. We lived in a small town in Nashville. The neighbourhood was quiet and people minded their own business. Maybe that’s why no one saw this coming…I was living with my parents and my mother was pregnant with my sisters. My father was busy on his … Continue reading Creep House!
The Day my Wife started Sleepwalking…
I don't know exactly what day my wife Naomi started sleepwalking. It was definitely within this past week. The first night wasn't horrible, a little odd, but nothing too crazy. I woke up to the sound of cupboards opening and closing. I looked over at my wife’s side of the bed and noticed it was … Continue reading The Day my Wife started Sleepwalking…
Creepy Cat Lady
I have been delivering pizza for Pizza Hut for almost 3 years now. The money is good and I have my car so the hassle is much less. I never backed down from taking long-distance deliveries as often the tips were high in those cases. So, this one time, I was at the end of … Continue reading Creepy Cat Lady
I’ll remember my Prom, FOREVER!
I got hospitalized two weeks before my prom. The doctor said I needed an immediate kidney transplant. My mom and dad thought they almost lost me but lucky enough I got matched with a donor and the operation was successful too. Even though I got my life back, it left me with a huge scar … Continue reading I’ll remember my Prom, FOREVER!
The Subway…
I was travelling back to my apartment from work late at night in New York City. I was a little nervous about taking the subway so late at night, but I figured that there would probably not be many people riding it, so I decided to forgo a cab and take the subway anyway. When … Continue reading The Subway…
My first and last Yoga class…
I’m a fat girl. And I’m ashamed of my body. Boys don’t look at me after they do it the first time. I feel miserable among my skinny, beach-bod friends. I can see my colleagues make fun of me whenever I walk past their cubicles in the office. I was becoming frustrated so one day … Continue reading My first and last Yoga class…
Latenight Drive…
This happened in Sacramento, California. It was around 2 AM. I was at a friend’s house, safe in warm sheltered suburbia. We were having a lot to drink, chit-chat, enjoying ourselves. Of course, when you’re having fun, time hits the fast forward button, and those few minutes turn into an hour. I had too much … Continue reading Latenight Drive…
Drowning…
I am Nathan and this happened on the day before my 18th birthday. I never knew my mom as she passed away the day I was born. My only family was my dad. My dad had a knack for hunting so he would often go to these remote places to spend some time in solitude. … Continue reading Drowning…
The man at the Bus stop…
Bad things come in threes they say. I think it’s true. Last month, I had to put my dog down. Buzzo got infected by some unknown bacteria while running in the city park. Though my vet tried her best to save him but sometimes doing everything you can isn’t enough. I cried a lot after … Continue reading The man at the Bus stop…
The Clown Head…
It’s been 20 years, yet the memory of this incident feels so fresh. I was 8 years old back then. I lived with my dad as my parents were going through a divorce. My dad worked as a nurse in the local hospital so he had to pull off nightshifts often. Whenever he had nightshifts, … Continue reading The Clown Head…
The man in the Woods!
This happened last month and I'm still in shock. My boyfriend and I went hiking in Alabama. We both are avid campers and organised many camping trips so far. But it was our special tour so we chose a high range surrounded by deep green woods. Alex is very sporty and loves joking to cheer … Continue reading The man in the Woods!
Our Neighbour, Mara…
When I was 10 my mom got a new job, hence shifting to Wisconsin. My dad bought this house in the suburbs and the neighbourhood seemed friendly until I met Mara. She happened to be our next-door neighbour and my mom made friends with this woman pretty fast. She would come maybe twice a week … Continue reading Our Neighbour, Mara…
The Hunt Begins…
Last year my friend Dorothy and I went camping in the woods. Both of us loved exploring nature. We drove to the nearest hiking trail in my old, blue truck and parked it under a big oak tree. We planned to camp the night in those woods and then hike back to our car and … Continue reading The Hunt Begins…
The Toe Nail…
