D’Jinns Gift

Capricorn (ep. 62)

“Well, it is what you asked for,” replied D’Jinn.

“No,” he whimpered. “You tricked me.”

“I gave you exactly what you wanted,” laughed D’Jinn. “To be in power for the rest of your lifetime.”

He looked at his reflection in the car window. His reflection. Gaddafi’s reflection.

If there’s one thing horror films have taught me, it’s don’t make wishes!

Closed Doors

Capricorn – Little Horror (ep. 61)

He slams his fists on the door.

“Let me out ya’ wankers!” he screams.

The bulb swings gently above his head. His shadow shifts.

“At least gimme a room with a window!” he yells, giving the door a final bang.

The door gently opens into the cell. He steps back blinking back the tears. He breaks down, slamming his fist on the wall built behind the doorway.

Damp Hands

Capricorn (ep. 64)

She pressed the gun against his forehead and fired again. She had to be sure. She stood crying, sinking into the jacket she wore. It was his. It still had the smell of coconut hair pomade on the collar. She pressed the gun into the roof of her mouth. She took her eyes off the bite marks on his shoulder and arm. The boat tipped, rotten, bloated hands emerging from the water. A last shot.

Tarot Cards

She shuffled the deck again. “What did you say your name was?”

“I didn’t,” he replied.

She smiled. Uneasy, she lay the tarot cards face-down a second time.

“My choice,” he said.

She nodded.

He reached over, flipping the third card. Death.

“Well, I guess I shoulda seen that coming,” she sighed.

Going Down

He woke up. He was moving down. He banged his fists on the roof.

“Damn you!” he screamed. “Damn you!”

He fumbled in his pocket, found a matchbox, flicked out a match and struck it.

His vision blurred. He drew what air he could into his lungs.

Above him, in red felt-tip pen. ‘Tight arse couldn’t buy me a fancy coffin’.

Then sleep.

Stone Archway

He sits down in the corridor, watching the rain coming down outside the archway. She hasn’t arrived.

He watches a middle-aged couple, crying, flowers in hand. He knows the feeling.

She still isn’t here. He’s getting frustrated now.

He reaches back and polishes the brass plaque with his name on.

She hasn’t come for 7 years, he doesn’t know why he thinks she’ll come today.

Backward Maps

Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 6)

Fuen jumped as her phone beeped.

“Is that a new phone?” asked Reala.

“Looks like it,” laughed Yuffie. “Mine’s been overdue an upgrade as long as Fuen’s.”

“Hey, check it out,” said Fuen. “I have an email here saying Google can now read maps backwards.”

“Oh, that’s just spam,” said Reala.

Forgotten Rooms

He walked past the graffiti-laden walls, 36 steps, turn left, 42 steps, right wall.

Someone had stolen the bench. He felt the wall and floor. Click. The wall slid to the right. The dust drifted upwards on the disturbed air.

Nobody had found this room. It must have been 20 years. The door marked by them clawing from the inside. He could hear their screams. He could smell their fear. He would never forget. How could he?

Now they’d led him back here. The door closed quietly behind him.

Train Journeys

The train rocked. She woke.

“Look at me,” came a voice from the other end of the carriage. A lone passenger, watching her.

She avoided his gaze and stared out the window. She couldn’t place where the train was. Too dark outside.

“Look at me,” he said.

He was close, two seats up the carriage, moving towards her. She peered back out the window.

“Look at me,” he said, sitting next to her. She did.

Denver never did find her eyes.

I do like train related horror… Maybe too many years commuting on London Transport…  A couple more review thanks and shout outs for Seeking Hydra.

Doris, 84

Doris, 84, shocked to death by an electric blanket. She’d come in with black marks and burns across her face and body. Presumably, day shift had made her passingly presentable.

She didn’t notice the blood under the counter. Or the grin forming on Doris’ face.

She noticed a rustle when Doris sat up, but by then it was too late.
