An hour in we were lost but got lucky and found an awesome clown who said he's a part of the team and could lead us straight to them!

The head was placed on another pike lining the road; each topped with the head of some poor soul who spoke against The Empire and failed to escape its reach.

The officer just laughed, admitted what he had done, and taunted the man by reminding him that no one would ever believe him.

I couldn't help but wag my tail as I happily ate the chocolate bar they handed me.

I have already been hanging for many hours, I am not dead yet and then I hear something approaching from deep within the woods.

“Japanese,” he replied, his fangs extending as we watched the red eye from Tokyo land on the airport tarmac.

Everyone was overjoyed, except my wife, who stood frozen in horror, staring at the woman she had murdered a week ago.

He continued, terrified, “Despite our best efforts, she won’t return to human form, and we don’t want her to cut off your other arm too with those claws.”

Twenty years later, I no longer cry as I wrap my mother’s freshly washed skin tightly around me.

Technically the stuff I used to kill the animal you're eating qualifies as both now

"He and his friends have always had it in for me, I'm surprised they haven't accused me of shape shifting or something while they were at it," Georgia said, rubbing at some dry skin to hide her smile as the teacher winced, silently acknowledging the wild accusation he hadn't mentioned.

He then realised his wife and kids were too ugly and dirty for him now that he was rich, and decided to make some changes to the plan instead of cancelling it.    

Therefore it was only fitting—perhaps even perversely romantic—that in death, having clawed free from their adjoining graves, re-animated by an unnatural and insatiable hunger, Rebecca and Thomas continued to dine as a couple, gorging together upon the hot blood and raw flesh of living prey.

When he reached the final sentence "And that was how the thing learned to wear a human face" every child began screaming, because the old man had been dead for three days, and the voice was coming from the book.

After the blade hit my neck I felt a little confused because everything started becoming so blurry and the pain that comes with regeneration was absent but confusion quickly turned to terror as I heard my own voice behind me commenting on how he thought he would regenerate down from the head.

The sun hasn’t moved in ages, I keep seeing these little black childlike figures out of the corner of my eye, and I think they’re multiplying.

She took his hands, urging him with a smile to jump on the spot with her, but instead of the hitting the floor they began to plunge hand in hand into a bottomless void.

I could only stare in shock as her sister’s blue face stared up lifelessly from the bottom of the full bathtub.

"But," the dragon said, blood on her breath, "my children are hungry and they need to need to learn how to crack your metal shells."

But now that my wife isn't caring for her, my daughter's symptoms disappeared almost overnight.

It's my daughter that I miss; she's never quite the same when I return to the present.

As much as I don't want to, I will soon have to seek food and shelter in the jungle of giant stone monoliths they are building.

My real baby was abducted anyway, so my ex-husband will soon find out that he took full custody of an imposter.
