Scaring Anya


Anya was a horror freak– couldn’t scare her. She would watch horror movies alone in the dark in the middle of the night. She would walk through haunted houses with barely a peep, and definitely no screams.

Anya was constantly searching Reddit for something that would truly scare her.

Send me links! she would post, hoping someone could send her something to finally break through her bravery. Gore didn’t do it for her. Serial killers didn’t do it.

Anya went weeks without anything. She continued her normal routine, until one night she logged into Reddit and had a message.

For you, Anya it read. Confused and knitting her eyebrows together, she looked at the username. She didn’t recall giving out her name, but maybe the user was a friend. She looked at the attachment. For you, Anya it was called.

She opened the video.

As she watched, goosebumps broke out over her body.

A grainy video showed Anya going through her daily routine.

From inside the house. And as the video progressed, she started to feel panic rise up in her throat. Fast forwarding, she saw herself go to bed…the camera hovered over her sleeping. The next shot the clothes….the clothes in the video were the same ones she was wearing now. She fast forwarded to the end of the video, eager to see, but starting to dread finding out. She hoped to see a friend’s face, but instead found a fading image of the inside of her closet with words appearing on the screen.
See you soon.

Down the hall, there was a creak in her bedroom.

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, ...
