((Story I started 6 years ago. Plays upon the ironies of teenage subcultures and cliques, the desire to fit in, and paranormal social phenomena. Paranormal horror/drama/comedy mix attempt. Violence & Language.))
Something lurks within the dense forest on the brink of town… as some like to believe. Judy and her group of aspiring goths long to be respected - and feared - as non-conformists at their school, rather than laughed at as emos going through a phase. In an attempt to establish their status and get revenge, they use an infamous local legend to set the stage for their grand scheme: scaring the student body into believing that the woods is a playground for evil, and only they as goths know its secrets. It's totally, utterly stupid, right?. Judy knows it is. She doesn't take the stunt seriously at all, though the screams they get out of it are pretty funny. Until the screaming is replaced by the silence of death. And it's no longer fun and games.

This is also one of the first stories I'm writing of this genre, do not expect to be blown away, my writing is not remarkable, I do this purely because I had an idea in mind.

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

Shadow Town
A young adult fresh out of high school is feeling anxious and lost. In the heat of desperation she goes on a small camping trip to her favorite spot alone. She hopes to relieve herself of her stress and anxiety but when she gets there what ensues next is far from her intended relaxation. Is she spiraling into madness or is everything happening to her real? It's a strange life, indeed. ~~~~~ This piece is from my creative writing class. I was hoping I could share it with others who enjoy horror as much as I do. I am by no means an experienced writer, it's more of a hobby than an aspiration. I'm more focused on art than writing, but I do find it quite fun. I know there are lots of errors, most of I'm too lazy to fix. I hope all you nonexistent viewers enjoy!Complete

One by one
It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.Complete
