"November seconds? Can all November seconds please make their way to the deciding room for final placement." The voice over the speaker was as unenthusiastic as a pile of dirt, but Emerson was excited nonetheless. Not that their name was really Emerson... souls didn't have names. They were actually November 2nd number 7,842, but this time around they preferred the name Emerson, and had called themselves that for the past year. Ever since their death. Emerson got up and followed the other November 2nds to the deciding room. They had all ...

That's right, my dude... come a little closer... a littler closer... *Woosh* HA AH! I did it! Wooshed right through the sucker. He even shivered! This is getting easier. Well done Harold.

The gathering storm clouds off in the distance should have served as an ominous warning, but the Weber family paid them no heed, secure in their belief that they were fina...

Finding just the right haunted house is always a challenge. One cannot simply walk into any old house and find their match; there are specifics to consider. You are buying a house after all, and it is important to have the usual lists of needs and wants. You may want 4 bedrooms, but need a two story Victorian where a grisly murder took place. You might want a two car attached garage, but need a basement with the frayed and knotted rope still hanging from the pipes.

"Julian""Julian""JULIAN"If this man ignores me one more time I swear I'll... "What do you want, Monica?"Julian seems exasperated. I'm not sure why, as he's been the one ignoring me all morning. HE drags ME to the apple orchard and now he's sulking? I was perfectly content lounging on the couch with a hot mug of tea, rose infused black tea of course, and wasting away this brisk October day. But not Julian. Forever the active extrovert. He just HAD to get out of apartment.It's a beautiful day, Mon, look at the sky! We still have time to get to...
"By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire."Lucas looked at me in shock. "FIRE?!" he yelled, "She set the leaves on fire? She's three?! There's no way her laser powers have developed yet. Mallory's boys have laser powers and she told Samantha, who told my mother, who told me, that Asher and Blaze developed their laser abilities at four, and just how proud she was that they developed so early.""Well we can hardly gauge power development on the Flame family, now can we." I snorted at the memory of watching Mallory Carson spending ...
