It is no secret that I like Horror stories. I like dark, creepy things like

those under your bed. As I have said repeatedly, Halloween is my favorite

holiday. I'd say I still get dressed up, but I don't look much different than

Press' Harbinger of Horror month-long celebration. I wanted to do it… Continue

My life has been the canvas on which a series of major turning points have been imprinted.  Here are a few more of the ones that led to my own hidden decisions:

Looney Tunes Strikes Again

I don’t know if it was because I had my “third eye” smacked open or what.  Until I was eleven years old, however, I believed that everyone – including myself…

I sat myself down on the half buried boulder and sighed at the darkening sky. The stars were slowly coming out to play and the moon seemed rather shy, peeping out from behind a lonely cloud. A cool wind blew in from the south, ruffling my shirt and making the trees whisper softly.

A highly excited laugh split the silence like a thunderclap. I jumped, startled. While my skeleton had been busy jumping out of its… Continue

Okay, I told you about this a few days ago and here it is!
