Horror - Stories

Where Charles Wentworth is now, I do not know. I thought he was dead. It took decades to get over the heartbreak of his disappearance.

Humanity may be about to go extinct.

This collection will feature some of my LGBT horror and ghost stories. So, sit back and make sure all the lights are still on…

Welcome readers! This is normally where the story description goes. Therein lies my dilemma. To give an accurate description of the story is impossible without spoiling the entire story itself. So, here is what I can tell you. The story you are about to read is the story of a man, who was going about his regular life, when something very irregular happens. Something that defies the very laws of reality. What will this man do as a result of that irregularity? Let's find out...

Together they might overcome, what is to come.

Jack works at a law firm, and his husband Arty stays at home. After a recent death in the family, the two decide it's time to adopt another child.

14-year-old Aiden Desmond is used to knowing things others don't. He knows about things from books his friends don’t read, things on tests in higher grades, things that happen that adults don’t talk about, and about bad days on a person's personal calendar, days when things happened, that divided their life into "Before" and "After."

But that didn’t prepare him for things like this. Two secrets, two radical shifts in what he knew. Aiden is used to knowing things others don't, but to get used to these things, he needs answers.
