I had a nightmare one night and tried to write down what it was about. Unfortunately when I woke up in the morning all I had written was "The Takers are in the backyard." I came up with this short story as I was trying to remember what the hell I had dreamed about last night.All Rights Reserved

The Mafia Boss's Possession by ClearMint23

"Wait!" I called out to the dark shadow figure that was leaving without turning back. "Please," my voice wavered as I eyed the bleeding body that laid on the ground ay my feet. Swallowing the urge to vomit, I stepped over his body, reminding myself that the dead man was going to kill me if he wasn't dead. "Go home." The figure demanded in a low voice that echoed from the walls of the alley. I never believed in the stories about tall, dark-aura, scary men that roamed dark alleys like their home. The ones that wouldn't bat an eye at killing someone in order to get what they wanted. The ones who ran the most dangerous organizations, yet never got caught by the government security. I never believed that, it all seemed like a fantasy. That was, until it became my reality.

It Came With The House by SnowyWraith

**Entry in thegrudgecontest** I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes. But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past... My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously. ********************** Highest Rankings as of 06/19/2021: #1 diabolical #2 erie #4 thegrudgecontest #13 following #18 haunted house #24 fright ********************** Some strong language so be advised.

Middle School Horrors by TheEntertainmentBoss

A group of seven middle schoolers sneak into their school at night, trying to find a ghost rumored to be haunting the premises. Will their quest turn out to be a massive disappointment, or will they come face-to-face with the creature lurking in the shadows? This is a story I started writing three years ago, back when I was a sixth-grader whose brain was rotting in quarantine. I unfortunately never finished it. I didn't even get to the climax. Y'know how a lot of people cringe at their old works because of how silly or stupid their plot/writing style was? Three years later, as a ninth-grader, I didn't experience the same. The story had potential, so I decided to rewrite it in my newer style, and depending on motivation, I might actually finish it.

The Visitation by Aurora808

Late one night two teenagers witness a strange light descending from the sky near their town. Then mysterious events start happening which all lead to an old abandoned mine. Someone is doing something secretively down there and are going to great efforts to make sure no one finds out what it is. But Josh and Katie don't give up, and soon find themselves in a very dangerous situation. Science Fiction/Mystery Note: I wrote this story when I was in high school. My target audience was 10 to 20 yrs, but I hope readers of any age will enjoy. It has been through two major edits since I wrote it to bring it up to a (hopefully) high standard. Please read and enjoy.
