This was a short story I wrote for English which I might adapt into a book if people like it, but I'll  most likely do it anyway.


Trapped in a cellar by a mad man Jane tries holding on to the last shred of sanity. All she knows is fear, fear of when he might visit her and the fear of what he might do. 

Hope is almost all gone, the only thing Jane can do is pray that her body and mind is as strong as her thirst for survival.

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
