This short story is not for the faint-hearted.

"When a new amusement park opens outside of town, eager thrill-seekers gather to experience the rush and excitement of all it has to offer, completely unaware of the dark secret hidden beneath the glittering lights and laughter. A secret that reaches out to haunt the dreams of one young girl and draws her and her friends into the twisted game of a horror that stalks the land. . ."
- @Frohike1970

"CLUNK! The car came to an abrupt halt. I opened my eyes to look around; we were in the middle of the pitch black forest, stuck on the roller coaster tracks. I looked back towards the park, there was a blackout. No lights were on at all, screams of terror and horror from hundreds of people in the park echoed throughout the forest. I was panicking and freaking out, what the hell had just happened?"

The Hound

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.
