Curfew


I was sitting at the edge of the dock, facing the lake and watching the sunset. It was really nice but it was stating to get dark and my co-counsellor would want me back to the cabin. I had the seniors that year so it wasn’t too much of a hassle for one.

I then notice that there is the sound of footsteps on grass behind me. It’s very dark now. I wait until I hear them on the gravel, then on the dock. They stop. It was probably the kitchen crew trying to scare me, they enjoyed doing that to unsusepecting counsellors.

I turn around slowly, tuning on my flashlight to see who it was. My flashlight hits a figure, seven, maybe eight, feet tall. It was white - not caucasian white, a creepy iridescent white- it was probably male, based on the fact it was so large. It was just… standing, not doing anything or reaching for me. I was too terrified to look at its face. We both stand, not saying a word.

I sprint back to the cabins, thank god I was in the ones at the bottom of the hill this year. I come back to my cabin and tell my co-counsellor all out of breath. She panics too and runs to get the other three cabins into this one.

We gather all the objects we can use was weapons in our cabin and we barricade the doors. It was crowded now with not only our seniors, but intermediate and junior campers as well. They all tuck in their sleeping bags, confused as to why they all have to sleep in this cabin. The counsellors are all terrified. I spent the night clutching a baseball bat, I don’t think I slept for that whole week honestly.

I never saw it again but I always hear of a camper who was out too late or a counsellor walking outside at night who sees it. Its usually in the woods just outside the field. I always remember not to go outside after curfew.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out,

I Was A Lab Assistant of Sorts (Part 3)

Hey everyone. I know it's been a minute, but I figured I would bring you up to speed on everything that happened. So, needless to say, I got out, but the story of how it happened was wild. So there we were, me and the little potato dude, just waiting for the security dude to call us back when the little guy got chatty again. “Do you think he can get us out?” he asked, not seeming sure. “I mean, if anyone can get us out it would be him, right?” “What do you base this on?” I had to think about that for a minute before answering, “Well, he's security. It's their job to protect people, right? If anyone should be able to get us out, it should be them.” It was the little dude's turn to think, something he did by slowly breathing in and out as his body puffed up and then shrank again. “I will have to trust in your experience on this matter. The only thing I know about security is that they give people tickets
