The Goats Knew
It started one Friday evening. All of the goats were standing still, staring intently into the woods. They didn't move, they didn't make a sound. When a derelict truck is found in the driveway, Scott and his friend Gina search the wood lot out back to try and figure out who's truck it is and what they were doing. What they find is more terrifying than they could have imagined. A horror from ages past, returning to feed and reclaim it's title as the apex predator of the forest. The goats knew something wasn't right. Scott found out later just how wrong it all was. 2025 Note: I just ran across a site that explained how to pronounce Djieien. Say the letters J - E - A -N. Now we both know!Complete
Awakening
A small and quiet Utah town is full of life. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful scenery. Friends and family that stand by you no matter what. And the light of faith being their guide and protection. Also hostile shadowy creatures, a town-wide epidemic, an unexpected famine, and unrest between even the closest of friends. And standing in the middle of it all is an ordinary young man with the remarkable, and secret, ability to see spirits and specters. Or at least, that's what he thought. Turns out he's the most unordinary being there, and with his town falling into disarray, all he has are his abilities and a mysterious weapon only he can wield.

The Absent Blue of Your Gaze (Linked Universe)
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time's Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn't expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious. Who knows, it could even maybe -just maybe- be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows. They don't know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice. It's hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.Complete

BALENN
This is a story about the capture of 3 Sasquatch in the mountains that divide B.C. and Alberta Canada. In the early 1980s, when this story unfolded, the public did not as readily accept paranormal events. This news item would have been laughed at, so the entire happening was kept secret. In this, the 21st century, we witness paranormal events more often, and so the following story can be told.Complete
