I Don't Think My Students Are Human || Something Terrible Happened At My School-- Parts 2 & 3

Fri, 10 May 2024 22:00:00 GMT

Tonight, we’ll delve deeper into what’s going on at that freaky school! In episode 1, a marauder was discovered skulking around school grounds, and a team of rather lupine guards were dispatched to handle the situation. They dropped to all fours and ran like dogs into the forest. Shortly after that, there was a haunting scream, and everything returned to normal. TOO normal, if you ask Mr. Vermeil. He was told to drop the whole thing, and return to business as usual. Now, though, he finds himself hunted in his own home by a strange and electric force, and the mysteries of his workplace-- and the children who go there-- begin to unfurl. These stories are parts 2 and 3 of the 5 part series called “I'm a teacher at a school for children who aren't quite human.” And were written by nomass39 Link to tonight's story:https://shorturl.at/ftwDM

Something Terrible Happened at My School

Fri, 03 May 2024 21:25:00 GMT

Tonight, class is in session! And not everything is as it seems. I know some of you may be feeling anxious about horror that takes place in school—especially given the state of affairs today, but not to worry. We may go to some dark and macabre places on this channel, but we won’t be going THAT dark. No, the horror here comes from not from the marauder skulking around school grounds, but from the two men in suits who show up after the alarms sound. The men who were dispatched to handle the problem, but are anything BUT normal themselves. This story is called “Something terrible happened at my school, but no one else seems to care.” And was written by nomass39

The Patchwork Man

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 22:23:50 GMT

Tonight, we’ll explore a children’s game with a dark secret! Nestled deep among hills and evergreen trees, there rests a quiet town with a curse. Once every decade or so, a strange song reemerges among the children in the schoolyard, and in its wake-- disappearances. Surely a coincidence, right? But, hark! Can you hear the haunting melody floating on the breeze? It’s been about ten years since Jimmy Smythe disappeared, and I’m thinking there might be something to this Patchwork Man after all… This story is called: Does anyone remember the rhyme about the Patchwork Man? And the picture game? And was written by Quincy Lee…. Author's catalogue of stories: https://shorturl.at/tuyY1 Link to this story: https://shorturl.at/sBU69

The Masque of the Red Death

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 21:00:00 GMT

Tonight, I have a real treat to share with you! It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories; I’ve done several here on the channel already. I find that as I get older and revisit these stories, I appreciate them more and more, and find new things that delight and impress me each time I read them! I also find I can connect to the stories themselves more easily as my experience in the world grows. Allow me to set the stage for this story: A great and terrible disease—called the Red Death-- is sweeping across a medieval land. The prince of this land has decided that, rather than give aid of any kind, he would rather call up his closest…erm, 1000 friends, and wall all of them inside a secluded abbey. No one can get in, and no one can get out. There, they plan to party and wait it out, while the disease rages outside. All is well; the wine is flowing, the guests are dancing and mingling at an opulent masquerade ball, until a new guest arrives, dressed horribly as a victim of the Red Death. This story is called “The Masque of the Red Death”, and was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Low Tide

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 21:00:00 GMT

Tonight, we’ll take a relaxing walk along the beach!

Our story opens as a young man takes a pause during his run down by the ocean.

As he decides to head back resume his routine, he meets 2 young ladies. They warn him to stay away from the water at low tide, because there have been many disappearances over the years as the tide has rolled out.

Of course, he dismisses their warning at first. But he quickly becomes a believer, when the first hand grabs his ankle from within the mud.

The Crematorium

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 21:37:55 GMT

Apologies for the week delay!


Tonight, we’ll stay true to our tagline, and have an episode of the macabre! Let me set the scene: deep in the heart of a prestigious New England college, we find a medical student working alone in the crematorium. Having just lost their grandfather, our student was given the job of caretaker while they’re on a leave of absence from classes. Despite what you and I might feel, the student enjoys the work there, and finds it comforting to stay busy. But that sense of safety is broken one night when a particularly strange cadaver arrives, and voices begin to whisper from the flames of the cremation chamber… This story is called “They Spoke Through the Fire”, and was written by Chomps_Lewis.

The Pit

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 22:35:20 GMT

Tonight, we find ourselves bedside, regaled with a story of the OLD days!

Our scene opens in an assisted living facility, where our protagonists—a son and his father—sit together for a visit. All seems normal enough, until a moment of clarity comes across the father, and he tells a tale so frightening and so impossible that it can’t be true! But if there IS a kernel of truth to the yarn, then both men may find themselves the target of a malicious force undeterred by distance or time.

Uncle Ashford

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 22:26:48 GMT

Tonight, we shall meet a mysterious relative who lives in the mountains of Appalachia! Or rather, we shall discover him, since he is deceased when our story opens.


The shrewdest among you will have already guessed—Uncle Ashford! And was he a RICH uncle, I hear someone ask? Well. That depends on what “rich” means to you. Financially? Not really. Intellectually? Most certainly! But I’ll remind you that not all information is safe, and some doors of knowledge should stay closed.

I Was Raised as a Gift to the God in the Mountains

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 22:25:13 GMT

Tonight, we’ll head into the back country to a small but prosperous village nestled at the base of a mountain.

Ah! So you caught that. How could such an out of the way location enjoy such success? Well as it turns out, it isn’t luck. It isn’t even hard work. It’s something much more sinister—a secret hidden between the branches with the blood and bones.

This story is called “I was raised as a gift to the God in the mountains. Last Summer I was chosen to die”, and was written by RooMorgue

The Tell-Tale Heart ....and Other Curiosities

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 22:34:42 GMT

Tonight, we’ll revisit a CLASSIC tale of secrets that just can’t stay buried for long! Earlier this year I alluded to the Tell-Tale heart after a story that dealt with the intersection of guilt and horror. I’ve come to realize that tonight’s protagonist doesn’t feel much guilt about what he’s done—it’s actually somewhat the opposite! Vexed by the eye of an old man, tonight’s protagonist (or is he the ANTAGONIST?) begins a routine of peering into his room during the witching hours, and becoming increasingly perturbed by the eye, until one evening when he can bear the wait no longer, and the unthinkable happens! This story is called The Tell-Tale Heart, and was written by Edgar Allen Poe…

Business is good, and her success rate is astronomical! But what does it mean if a water witch cannot sense water at all? Not far away; or faint; but completely absent.

3 Classic Christmas Stories To Fall Asleep With on Christmas Eve

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 21:00:00 GMT

Denizens of the night, welcome to a special episode of Christmas cheer, and levity.


Broadcasting live from a dim corner of Santa’s Workshop, I will be your guide as you drift off into restful slumber.


Tonight, instead of keeping you awake, I thought it might be nice to completely turn this thing on its head, and read you some sweet classic short stories by a fire! You may have heard these stories before, but if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! First is the The Gift of the Magi, written by O’ Henry. It’s a humorous tale of the sacrifices we make for those we truly love. After that, we’ll hear one I discovered just this year: A Christmas Dream, written by Louisa M. Alcott. It’s the story of a little girl who comes to appreciate what she has and learns the wonder of giving to others through a fantastic dream on Christmas Eve, and a special surprise the following day. Finishing the collection, we’ll hear that familiar poem—A Visit from St.Nicholas, written by Clement Clarke Moore.

Usually I like to reappear after the stories for a final word, but tonight you’ll hear no more from me after this. After our stories, we shall hear a few hours of the sound of wind and snow outside the window, as we snuggle deeper under the blankets and sleep soundly. Before I go, I want to thank you for all your support this year—I’ve enjoyed reading your comments, and it’s my pleasure to entertain you. If I’ve managed to make you smile, or better yet leave the hallway light on, just once this year… then it was all worth it.

Enjoy.

The figure was so blurry that it was difficult to make out, but its presence was undeniable. As I continued to watch, the figure grew clearer and clearer, until it was standing directly in front of the camera, its eyes fixed on me...

'I never got to finish that thought. From above us came a bassy trumpet blast that did shatter glass. Everyone grabbed their ears and squatted to the ground as if that would make it disappear. I felt my internal organs vibrating. It was unsettling.

After the longest ten seconds in my life, the trumpet blast stopped. I looked over at my kids, and they were sobbing. Cindy did everything she could to hold them together. I ran over, my legs wobbly from the noise, and hugged them tightly. “Daddy, what’s going on?” my son asked, sobbing. “I dunno,” I said, deciding that honesty was better than not. “Is something coming for us?” my daughter said, fear rising in her voice.'

"Please make his wish come true too, Anna," I said, reaching out a hand to touch her, but quickly changed my mind. She still made me uncomfortable. I stared at her for a moment more, then looked away. Then immediately looked back again. Something seemed different about her.

I walked from side to side, trying to figure out what was different. Was it her pose? Did she get sun bleached? Nothing seemed to have changed much, not that I could tell.

Her hair, I realised, a chill dripping down my spine. Her hair was longer."

His head was that of an owl, his body human-like, although covered with dark feathers, with sharp talons that reflected the moonlight. As he looked down on me with two large orange eyes, I turned over, convinced I was having a nightmare."

I knew what I was looking at—I'd seen it before. It was a gateway, a portal to elsewhere, elsewhen."

"You can’t just go strolling around Annedale, certainly not at night. It’s dangerous. For one thing, it attracts a constant rotation of the deeply unwell who are likely to attack on sight, if you’re lucky. They usually turn up in the halls come morning, although sometimes it’s just bits of them that I come across. Strips of skin floating on the brackish water that floods the basement stairwell, or bloodied fingernails embedded in the ceiling plaster. Weirdest one was a single tooth in a lightbulb, bloody gum still attached to the root, the glass all around it somehow intact..."

8 Ball

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 16:52:52 GMT

I spotted the Magic 8-Ball at a garage sale. I hadn’t seen that thing in—Jesus—thirty years. But the moment my eyes passed over it, I knew what it was, whose it was. The remains of a Strawberry Shortcake sticker still clung to the sides, jagged, as if pulled off roughly or in a hurry. Might as well have been stamped: Property of Henna Fezzel....

The Burning Heart

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 16:59:31 GMT

There were hundreds of bones, human and animal, all joined together to create a huge figure on a throne made of more bones. Skulls of small animals decorated the structure. A goat’s skull was fixed on top as a horrible head with dark hollow eyeholes. I peered in and saw Sean kneeling down at the firepit that was dug before it. A flame caroused inside the pit. The black candles were laid out and burning.

Urban rot and small towns of shattered dreams are cornerstones in the world. Benson Rhoades, an aging serial killer, has tried to kill the rot, but needs to shake the anonymity of city life and find new challenges. After a kill, Ben stumbles on a faded business card, inspiring him to export his talent to a small town north of the City.

Part Four - Instructions for the successful defense of the Tartarus Mall - (4/4)

PART FOUR:

First things first, ‘Tartarus’ ain’t actually the mall’s name. That’s just what I call the place on account of the store I have to guard. I won’t tell you the mall’s proper name for security reasons. But yeah, so one of the stores in the mall is called ‘Tartarus’, and this store is perpetually closed. I’ve never seen it open. A metal sheet lives across its door and its window displays are always empty. Boarded-up, even.

The instructions, to put them simply, are as follows:

1: Watch Tartarus.

2: Don’t let anyone in.

3: Don’t let anyone out.

"Death opened her up and laid her out, naked and raw. Death granted her immortality and notoriety, sealed her secrets forever between the two halves of her body, abandoned on a vacant lot in L.A. In death she found her new identity, cribbed together from the color of her clothing and the flower she usually wore tucked behind an ear: The Black Dahlia."

Sacrifice. What’s the one thing you can’t live without?”

February Thaw

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 02:04:20 GMT

I rip back the comforter and there, on his left arm, I see it.

His skin.

His human skin is melting. It’s literally dripping, puddling, soaking the sheets.

Beneath the liquefying skin is a horror I’d never imagined. It’s clear, like freshly-made ice cubes, and I can see the ghosts of his muscles twitching, his veins pulsing and the blood inside them quickening. A patch of skin near his elbow shrinks away like an accelerated film of thawing lake ice.

"Today I Found my Employer's Body and I Alone Know Why He Did It"

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 11:29:18 GMT

Today marks one of the most significant days of my life. It's my twenty-year anniversary of working for Mr. Soto-Gomez, my employer. It is also the day I discovered Mr. Soto-Gomez's body, slouched deeply into his office chair, viscous smears of grey matter dry against the leather headrest. And, unfortunately, today is the day that I, too, shall die.

I grabbed the wrong luggage and the contents have turned my life into a nightmare

Mon, 16 May 2022 21:03:16 GMT

As I breathe raggedly from the steady flow of oxygen at St. Ret-Constance Hospital, typing feebly with my one good arm… my one last arm, I am plagued more by fear than anger as I realize… it is not easy to write this. Nothing will ever be easy again.

Thinking back, it was a mistake I couldn't have possibly made any easier to make. An error in judgment that will haunt my every conscious moment until my death. But even the thought of death brings me little solace now....

The Devouring

Tue, 10 May 2022 02:28:18 GMT

Violet had insisted that a game of truth or dare could show people whether they would be compatible or not on a first date, as long as the game was straightforward. So we’d started with a few truths. She’d asked me intense questions: what my most painful memory was, who was the most prominent person in my masturbation fantasies, if I was to murder someone which weapon would I use? I had answered as honestly as I could: losing my mother, Madeline Smith, and a hatchet. She didn’t ask for explanations, just answers. My questions to her had been timid at first, but given the nature of her own questions, I’d decided that I shouldn’t bore her, so I asked about her first sexual experience and now she’d answered...

Barrel Aged

Wed, 04 May 2022 22:34:29 GMT

Phil opened his mouth, stopped, and then wiped a hand over his face. “I don’t think I can finish the tasting.”

Reynolds cocked his head to the side, brightly alert as a bird of prey. “Feeling ill?”

“Yes.” The final glass was a richer amber than the others, so vibrant it could have held the place of honor in a pagan queen’s crown.

“There’s only one left, and once poured, the liquor cannot be returned to the bottle. It is too precious not to be consumed.”

Phil stared the taster down, wishing that either it or he would disappear and remove the choice from his plate. “I can’t,” he pleaded. “Don’t make me.”

Harriford Distillery has a strange tasting process for their vendors, and a dark secret is hidden in their whiskey.

If you love your children, never bring them to a pizzeria playground

“Please, don’t go to these places. Don’t work for them, and most of all, don’t bring your children to any parties. It doesn’t matter if they hate you for it, or if they don’t understand why you’re doing this. It’s the only way to keep them safe.”

The Children's Play Area is Closed by Darkly_Gathers

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 20:43:24 GMT

“There are more drawings down here. Some of them are pictures on torn paper and tacked to the walls. Some are scrawled across the walls themselves in white chalk. They become more numerous the further in we go. They seem to be of slightly better quality than the one by the stairs, but… But they’re still not great.

And they all depict the same thing. A girl. A child. All by herself.

The colors of her clothes vary, but she always has long brown hair, and the hair is always done in the same exact style.

“Hey”, I realize after a few minutes of walking, of exploring. “She kind of looks like you, don’t you think?”

“What the ****?” Eliza retorts, “why would you say that?” She stops and her breathing gets really shallow…

I Hang My Hat and There's No Blood

My condo is behind the Cosmopolitan on the Las Vegas strip. Sounds glamorous, right? Nope.

Homeless Bags by Dean H. Wild

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 20:28:54 GMT

It squirmed, fleshy and living between his fingers. He pulled his hand back with a gasp. The sides of the bag, some sort of scaly black leather, heaved in and out and a sound, deep and throaty, leaked from the zipper closure.

“What the hell?” he heard himself say.

Donna just started her job as a waitress at Pimento Patch only to find out the restaurant would be shutting its doors for good.

Along with a skeleton crew of slackers, she accepted the offer of full pay to work overnight cleaning the place up in preparation for the looming vacancy.

A Fine Evening in Hell by Kristopher Triana

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 14:47:47 GMT

On the verge of divorce, Heather needs some excitement in her life, but she’s about to get more than she bargained for.

On a date with a younger man, the two park at an abandoned warehouse for some intimate privacy, unaware of the criminals using the abandoned building as a hideout.

Max and Bastian have just pulled a big heist. Now they’re running from vengeful gangsters, dirty cops, and demented ex-cons.

When things go wrong, the criminals take Heather hostage, forcing her to drive them across state lines on a snowy night. What began as a night of fun quickly becomes a nightmare—not only for Heather, but for Max and Bastian as well. If she’s ever going to get home to her child, Heather must fight to survive, even if it means fighting alongside the men who abducted her.

A Fine Evening in Hell is a taut, gripping thriller from Kristopher Triana, the award-winning author of Gone to See the River Man and Shepherd of the Black Sheep. It is a novel about new starts and last chances, facing up to consequences, and the courage that comes with motherhood.
