    Cody Toye

    The love of a child's laughter inspired me to write children's books. With every passing day more and more wonderful visions of worlds yet to be created fill my head. After some time I decided to try my hand at adult fiction and short story writing. Though it is unique in its own way, short stories and horror could not fill the void and my word-crafting obsession is still children's books.

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Catching the Limp-Toed Hazerbeast

      Maximillion William Humphrey! Go to your room. That is what I always hear. Now I sit in the dark, on my chair, by myself again. I don’t mind though, I have gotten used to it over the years. After all, I’m eight years old and have spent the last six in the corner, in my room, or grounded.

      I bet you think that I’m scared; scared of the dark, scared of monsters in my closet. Well I’m not. I face something more frightening than anything that could possibly live in my closet. I face something everyday that would give the hairiest, slimiest monster nightmares.

      Her name is Emily, she is sixteen years old, and she is my older sister. That is why I am here, in trouble and alone in my bedroom.

      Mom was sitting in her usual spot, as far away from Uncle Ray as possible. Then it happened. The whole dining room changed in the blink of an eye. Emily let one rip, echoing through the wooden seat, and disrupting everyone’s fine meal.

      Of course, she was the first one to speak up, sealing my fate.

      Max! That’s so gross! Then mom had to speak up.

      What do you say, Max?

      I knew what I did next would be the difference between in trouble and oops, sorry.

      If I was smart, I would have let
