"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC - why don't you have a seat..."

He woke with a tickle on his face, unable to move when found his naked body wrapped to his eyes in a soft spider web.

[CattyTonic]

[patientlee]

What the hell is that next to your sandal-clad foot? IT'S A FUCKING SNAKE!!

True story. Happened on bus duty this afternoon.

 

[LaRascasse]

Here goes nothing

He would probably agree he had crossed the line by beating his wife with a skillet again. Unfortunately, such an admission would require his tongue.

 

[patientlee]

He would probably agree he had crossed the line by beating his wife with a skillet again. Unfortunately, such an admission would require his tongue.

Very nice!

 

[LaRascasse]

Very nice!

Thanks. It's a miracle I can still type coherent English sentences after the month I've had.

[LaRascasse]

A last one, before I catch up on a week of sleep

The bullet embedded itself in the ornate mahogany woodwork, inches to the left of my wife's head where she lay, passed out from drink and sex with another man. My wretched shaky hand had changed my choice from murder-suicide to either murder or suicide.

 

[Pompeii]

He slid gently between her welcoming thighs and brought his lips to her neck. As she wrapped her arms around him, she glanced up to the mirrored ceiling, but saw only her own reflection.

I almost wrote that for my sentence o.o Creepy


"Thanks for the other night," she smiled giving him a kiss the cheek. He sat perfectly still for the kiss, unable to move as she bit into the other side of his neck, paralyzed, unable to move as she prepared for 'Another night.'

From an old file, although not the exact sentences I had before:

[TE999]

I had been so careful, scattering her body parts across three states so no one could trace them.

Tonight, I awakened suddenly as her long fingered hands squeezed my throat and her head laughed.

 

[CorridorBoy]

"Good night, Daddy", he said, as he hugged my neck, kissed my cheek, and toddled off to bed like the good 4 year old he was.

I don't have a son, never did, and my daughter is grown.

 

[SecondCircle]

Before I shared any of my own, I wanted to include a few that are from movies (as badly paraphrased from my withering memory as they may be). Some of these stuck with me and gave me chills....

Signs:

"Daddy there's a monster in my room. Can I have a glass of water?"

"Don't open my pantry father. I locked one of them in there."

Mama:

"Daddy there's a woman outside.... Her feet aren't touching the floor."

Pet Semetary:

"I'm done pwaying with him. Now I wanna pway wiff you!"

Insidious:

"It's not the house that's haunted. It's your son."

House of 1000 Corpses:

"It's all true. The boogie man's real... and you found him."

...and just for a cherry on top, a quote from Albert Fish...

"I like children. They are tasty."

 

[SecondCircle]

The bed springs squeak as the dog jumps up to lay next to me. My eyes snap open as I remember I don't have a dog.



(True stories, the first owners of my house had a poodle. Every once in a while I will see a flash of white running down the hall and hear dog toe nails on the hardwoods.

Went to bed one night, I have three little dogs myself, one of which will almost always come lay next to me at night. I felt her jump up onto the bed and started walking in circles trying to find a comfortable spot. When it went on for a bit longer than normal I told her to "lay down already". All three of 'our' dogs were in the computer room with my wife.

Went to let my three dogs out one night. I count them when they come running back in past me to make sure they are all in the house. I counted all three, went to close the door and just did see my third dog as she came up the steps just as I stared to close the door.

I have a ghost poodle.)
