Cheshire Pub

Capricorn (ep. 81)

He noticed a peculiar crack across the bar top. About four inches long, shaped like a Cheshire cat’s grin.

“Barman!” he shouted again. The service was as bad as the health and safety record.

The plaster on the wall had a crack too. About two feet long, grinning sideways like the bar top’s crack.

He made a note that the building was dilapidated. He would see this place closed.

A creak of wood and he noticed another crack. Under his feet, six feet long, opening like a Cheshire cat’s grin.

Easter Pumpkins

Capricorn (ep. 80)

“When did that happen?” she asked.

“Couple of weeks back,” he replied. “He was sat on the floor, cross-legged with a tablet in his hands, focused on a picture of a pumpkin. ‘Good for Halloween’ I said. He told me it was seasonal.”

“Seasonal?” she asked.

“Yeah,” he nodded.

“Did you tell him it was Easter, not Halloween?” she asked.

“No,” he replied. “Dementia’s a twat.”

Snow Bus

Capricorn (ep. 79)

She was tall and slender, enough to tower over most men, but she looked so fragile. Her legs reminded him of a spider and her hair was always frazzled.

He never saw where she came from, she would just appear by the roadside, looking up the street. Like she was waiting for a bus she never expected to come.

He’d invited her to wait inside a few times. She always declined.

Why would someone wait for four hours for a bus in the snow?

Ambiguous though many of my endings are, I do like to have a start, finish and end to my stories. This wasn’t so much a story but a start of a story that never fully formed in my head back in the Blue Moons heyday. The scene stuck in my head though. A lady who looked like a breath of wind would knock her over, waiting at a bus stop for a ride that would never come.

Also, dicking about with effects on a video. This was set to 100% and won’t be staying at 100%. But it’s an interesting effect. Just thought it would give my daily tales a little more visual thingy.

Long Drop

Capricorn (ep. 78)

The effort of climbing the short flight of stairs made it wheeze and cough. It seemed more geriatric than terrifying. Years of comics and movies had changed the human mind’s perspective. He was not prepared for how vulnerable it appeared. He stepped back, into arms. Turning his head to see eight more behind him.

Sneaky buggers…

Final Kiss

Capricorn (ep. 77)

“You gave me life,” she sighed.

“I loved you,” she replied.

“You couldn’t leave me be,” she hissed.

“I still love you,” she cried.

“You spoke the prayer, you summoned me,” she growled.

They kissed. Then oblivion.

Feeding Time

Capricorn (ep. 76)

Never in his kind’s history had anyone seen creatures so weak. So easy to manipulate. They are aware they are being watched, yet they do nothing as long as everything carries on as normal. He slithers down the hallway, his thick ooze clinging to the furniture and walls.

They hide under linens, soft sheets which offer no protection. Those that do not hide see the contempt in his eyes, as he approaches. Hungry.

A change of video style. The first of three. They aren’t currently adding anything to the Fears. I’ve kept at them because I enjoyed making them. Unfortunately, even voice over videos takes 20+ minutes for every one minute of video accounting for audio, edit, and screen tiles. I don’t have that time to spare right now if it’s not bringing me anything in return.

Today’s change is thumbnail style. I need to separate how each video looks in related videos and somebodies feed as they currently all look the same. I think this still looks pretty Fears.

No Escape

Capricorn (ep. 75)

Then came the scrabbling on the windows. Fingernails scraping, scratching. Asking, then demanding, to be let in.

No petrol, no weapons, no escape.

We lock the doors as if it would make a difference. They’d get in eventually.

You keep trying, right up to that last moment. Refusing to believe what you can see – the worst.

The cracking of a window, our final screams.

Alleyway Beast

Capricorn (ep. 72)

The tentacles pulled her closer. Skin pierced. Push down, fluid moving.

“Shuheretar,” uttered the beast.

“Whatever you say, mate,” she replied, kicking at its face.

Six rows of teeth came down on her ankle. She screamed. Her other leg was sucked deep inside the beasts mouth.

She knew what came next. But she wondered if the beast knew she had 500mls of poison coursing through her veins.

Dead Fish

Capricorn (ep. 71)

He snags his arm on a rock. With a rip, he tears a strip of his wetsuit off along with his skin. Blood trails through the water. He keeps wriggling.

She grabs his foot, she needs him to calm down.

He drops his air tank, kicking free of her grip, and swimming the last few metres into open space.

She hangs back, and with a sigh, watches the shadow of a three-headed undead shark moving towards him.

The water turns red.
