This is an older ghost story of mine. It was inspired by a true story of a young man who died of alcohol poisoning as part of a fraternity hazing ritual. Supposedly on Halloween a bunch of other college kids dressed up as him when they went out partying on the streets of the college town. After hearing this story I wondered...what if "Doug" was among the revelers... Names and all identifying details have been changed. I've marked this story for mature audiences because of the subject matter.

As usual, I'm up to my eyeballs in trouble. With the fate of mankind hanging in the balance, I'm on a new mission to stop the Dark Ones from unleashing a second wave of attacks that promises to destroy the world as we know it. But first I have to find Thomas and save him from the clutches of Vycandor before it's too late. Unfortunately for me, I can't tell where my feelings for one of them end...or where they begin for the other. Gambling with my heart, I make a fateful choice only to discover that a powerful new enemy is stalking my every move, watching my every kiss, and waiting to destroy my one and only chance at undying love. In the most dangerous love triangle of all time, I'm going to have to make the ultimate sacrifice. As it turns out, finding my other half was the easy part. Chasing destiny might just get one of us killed.

A Christmas ghost story. Ghosts are usually associate with old places which have a lot of history, but a building doesn't have to be ancient to have the kind of history that might involve a ghost. This story was originally posted on my blog as a single piece. Because it's a very long story (nearly 10,000 words), I've broken it into 5 parts for Wattpad readers. The narrative moves back and forth between the present and the past, so most of the chapter breaks follow natural breaks in the text. I'm posting the parts on 5 consecutive days. Enjoy!

As the title suggests, this ghost story is another one with a very contemporary feel. Beth, recently widowed and sufferng debilitating grief, begins receiving text messages from her dead husband's phone.

Short story. How we treat our fellow human beings always matters, but when almost everything you've ever know is gone, the rules of etiquette change a bit. How do you treat strangers when everyone is a stranger? What do you say to the person you're not speaking to?
