    About this ebook

    If you were ever thinking of venturing out on the night of Halloween, then, I dare you; things might not turn out how you expect. At the very least, be on your guard, and in fact, you should be afraid . . . be very afraid.

    What happened to me when I went out with friends one Halloween I did not see coming . . . and I never thought it would end like this . . .

      Lies I Tell My Father

      Feb 10, 2024

      “How’s your job at the newspaper?” my father asks me. He is sitting on a couch, a plush throw blanket spread across his legs. “The newspaper’s fine,” I lie. I lie because it is simple. I lie because it is quick. I lie because it is easier than trying

      After “The End”

      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

      Going Home

      If only I had just followed my instincts and stayed in the room waiting for my parents to collect me, then everything would have been alright, and I wouldn't be here telling you this story. They insisted I stayed here because apparently I’m not ‘fully recovered’ yet. I suppose they are only trying to make sure I do what’s for the best, and they are only saying what the Doctors have said to them . . . and what do they know – Doctors?

      You’re as good as you feel, I say, that’s always been my mantra. However, the odd thing was, I know I did stay in that room – the waiting room at the old hostel where I was supposed to be recovering. You see, something happened, and it changed . . . well . . . everything really. What actually occured is very hard to describe; I was just waiting for mum and dad to come and collect me to take me home. I certainly did not see this coming, and I doubt if you will either.

      * * * * *

      I sat alone in the dark, dingy hostel waiting room. There was a light coming from somewhere in the adjacent corridor but that was the only light. Lately, while I have been recovering I’ve found I have preferred the dark. I think it’s something to do with my eyes, maybe it’s because of so many bright lights shining my way recently? At least, that’s what Miss Henson, the auxiliary nurse reckoned.
