The Things You Will Never Know by httpthatrandomgirl

If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner... Let's see who makes it to November 1st.

Labyrinth: a nursery rhyme retold by Glory_feeling2

A nursery rhyme with a twisted fate, as ... Jack and Jill went up that hill - finding themselves in deep jeopardy! Their fate was no longer in their hands, as the beast in another realm took over. This is a story of the Nursery Rhyme where two innocent children fell into a trap at such a young age. Why? It's out of this world! But within a darker format, the plot changes. ~~~ When the brother and sister duo taunted their baby brother repeatedly about "the monster" hiding inside the closet, they didn't expect how their choice of words would haunt them. And once they were dared to enter the mysterious door; that was when they learned that there wasn't any way they could turn back! Thus, Jack & Jill found themselves catering to the orders of an ogre in order to find their way back home ... that is if they ever fetch that pail of water. But after dropping the water on the ground as they lost their balance, numerous obstacles ( the test of time) came before them! Now, will they ever make it back home? And in time before they age? ~~ Written from Nov. 2016 to 2018. The new cover is created by @EkemWrites Thanks fo your help!

You wanted to know how I died? It's simple, really. I saw dead people... As umbrellas. And the umbrellas didn't like it. I'm sorry, did you want to hear more? Now a (completed) anthology of short stories, flash fiction, and hopefully quality writing. Expect to find a bereaved mother dealing with an post-apocalyptic wasteland, a hair-raising fairytale, two professional bankrobbers, the original Rick-Roller, and maybe a rubber chicken or two. And... three years later, we've reached 500 reads! Cover by @Lidlesaun. Thanks!
