John Lupin The neighbours watched quietly and with unbroken attention as not one, but three large moving trucks had pulled into the old Mansell place. Donna Harrison watched with the excitement of a child ogling her first Santa Claus parade. “Mommy what are you doing?” She turned around and hissed at her daughter Hayley. “Don’t you have anything better to do than annoy me right now?” “Can me and Frankie play video games?” “Yes, just go ahead and play video games.” She turned and ran away with excitement and almost ran ...

Listen, before you start judging me. I never wanted this, ok?I didn’t ask to be a werewolf, and it wasn’t my fault that I was bitten.It was a normal day, I was only ten-years-old. My dad had told me to go pick some flowers for my mom, it was her birthday. A full moon had started the night before, I thought it was pretty, but I didn’t know that it would bring out creatures of violence and bloodshed.I was grabbing daisies and filling my basket with them, my blonde hair shining in the sunlight like gold when I looked up and realized that I had ...

“Ooh la la! Yes I think I like what I see?” Nan was literally hopping from foot to foot like a child spotting a candy cane. “He didn’t even look at us when we passed by. He’s probably gay.” Stella said blowing over her not so dry fingernails. Nan and Stella had just come out of the nail salon when they spotted the new neighbor unpacking his items from the back of a U-haul. “Why do you always go there Stella. He is clearly as straight as an arrow. Did you see that form? I bet he has a nice set of abs under that coat too.” Nan giggled. ...

Moving so soon wasn’t something I thought I would be doing especially after I had warmed up to my neighborhood and my neighbors but with recent events that had taken place and the rumors that were now swarming the neighborhood like flies I knew my new safe haven had been compromised this wasn’t about choice it was about survival and protecting my secret it didn’t do me much good to have people now paying extra attention to me but I had to move. It had been three weeks after the ‘incident’ and I had comfortably settled in my house in a ...

They sold their house to Ryans — a Latin family somewhere from Northern Europe.A surprise to Rachel: it was midnight, and the party hadn’t entirely over some guests wouldn’t have left, yet. They were bidding their adieu to Smiths. But Ryans arrived with all their goods and chattels to be shifted. Rachel stood on her balcony when the truck stopped there and wondering about how bleak her life would be when Peter Smith will get away from here? She barely...

“Sharp Teeth and Blue Eyes” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #65

The shrill ringing of an alarm clock broke the early morning silence, quickly followed by muffled grumblings from the cocoon on the bed. A hand emerged from the blankets and felt around blindly until it found the clock to silence the alarm. A few moments later, a head appeared, brown hair still mussed from sleep. James glared sleepily at his alarm clock, then started the arduous process of untangling himself from his blankets. “Why did I ever decide to be a morning person?” he grumbled. After escaping the warm cocoon of his bed, James ma...

“Captured in the moonlight ” by Leanne Drain

Submitted to Contest #65

Half beastly wolf eyed and Dracula beast lurking his way down a dark Creaky road. Beware of the moon that comes out , howling in the night . As the half beastly creature stamps around in the moonlight , on the stretched path . He howls and let’s out a smoky wave of darkness . The darkness forms a circle , one that is let lose within a second . It’s claws sharp as knifes daggers there way through the pathway and into hells fiery chambers As he sees something appear in the shadows signs of life , a beating heart ,flesh human skin he ...

The yearning for something raw, coarse. The wild instincts clawed at his insides like nails against a freshly painted wall. He could feel his hands twitching, his legs hurting at the knees from his refusal to run free. But he ignored these obvious signs, like he’d ignored them for so many years. Only now, he knew deep within something had to be done about them.-x-x-x-x-x-Drake looked up from his packing, peering over the suitcase lid at the petite woman at his door.“You’re sure you want to go? Tonight you can stay. Its 31st.”“‘Those who leav...

“Banished” by Ruth Jacobs

Submitted to Contest #65

Aurelius had become a member of the prestigious Order of Lamia, for female vampires, from birth. So very few vampire were born, most gaining that honour later in life. But Aurelius was one of the few, the first vampire birth in many hundreds of years. Her sire and dame were Cassius and Constantine, two of the oldest and most well respected vampires in Albion (Britain). She was held to impossibly high expectations as soon as she opened her eyes for the very first time and her dame recognised in her the mark of Lamia, green eyes that darkened ...

They're gorgeous!"Elizabeth strolled to the bay window, mouth agog."They are very well built, like granite statues." Elizabeth said.The two women kept chatting, watching the men unload boxes and furniture. The younger daughter, Daisy, sat writing at the table, listening."No one's lived in 15 since Brandon killed Juliet. I bet there's still blood all over the walls and in the carpet."

10 years earlier '“How do I know it worked?” asked Henry quizzically “Just wait a few moments and you will have everything you’ve ever wanted.” growled Muhtal his sinister smirk seemed to grow more malevolent by the second Before Henry could ask any more questions, a searing pain scorched his body; a pain filled howl ripped from his throat.

“The werewolf in suburbia” by Alana Bates

Submitted to Contest #65

Anna winced as the removal men bashed her 8 ring gas range into the front door frame of her new house. They also threw her boxes of rare Northern Soul vinyl onto the wooden floor without a care in the world. A little bit of rage ignited inside of her and she had to put a cardigan on to hide the stiff grey hairs which were standing up on her arms. Anger was a 'no no' for her. The angrier she grew, the more 'the change' exerted itself over her body. She had to be in control. She left them to it, deciding it was better not to see what they were...
