Not Crazy to Me | Slashers x Nurse!Reader
A broke, unemployed girl with a nursing degree who just can't seem to find a job... until she finds an ad in the paper for an insane asylum. The job is as a simple caretaker, so it's not exactly the height of what she could do, but it payed... surprisingly well, and offered a place to stay on nights she was too tired for the two hour drive between the asylum and her apartment. It was too good to pass up. Or at least, it SEEMED like it was, until she found out about the patients.

INCONVENIENCE
"What?! You think ghosts are just supposed to be scaring people for no good reason until they die and then drag their victim to hell or somethin?! What nonsense!" Vanessa was just an ordinary college girl before her life turned upside down after that one summoning ritual... Trigger warning: mentions of violence, gore, blood, decay, inappropriate 17+ content, shitty writings, more dialogues than actions, and also inconvenient moments. Also this story is extremely short as i do not have the motivation to write long stories :sob: And im still an amateur at writing so there's that. Credits: @icebridgedaddy for writing the prologue and epilogue.

Something Eerie About Horror [ ON HOLD ]
A collection of my short, chilling horror stories.
Under The Bed
As a child you always fear the monster under your bed or in your closet. Maybe you watched a scary movie or were told a horror story to make you believe something was under there. You jump onto your bed and jerk your limbs away from the edge or always shut your closet door. Then you hide under the covers in hopes that they don't get to you. As you grow older you realize the invisible monster under your bed is just that, invisible. Its not that they don't exist, it's just that you don't see them. You write off the bumps in the night as the wind or shifting floorboards but they're lies. Little white lies you tell yourself so you can sleep at night. Well I'm here to tell you that whatever is causing those bumps is very real. In my case, the source doesn't hide in my closet but rather under my bed. And he's determined to drag me right there with him. Can you be friends with the monster under your bed? ** "Ask me Aria," he rasped. His voice dripped with temptation that would make the devil jealous. His lips were brushing against mine as we leaned into each other. I felt like I was drowning in his presence. The hand that was on my breast had moved to my waist, keeping me close even as I tipped towards him. His hand was still on my sex, leisurely teasing the area. "Please," I whispered. Something mixed between a growl and a purr escaped him. It vibrated deeply from his chest. I thought he would kiss me but he didn't. His lips hovered over mine before they softly traced my cheek. I gasped when his hands moved to under my arms, moving me until I straddled his thigh.
