The Abandoned Amusement Park

-

A very special guest of Twisted Imaginings has very kindly offered a story, which I am very proud to share with you all!


"As the darkening, meloncholy clouds passed through the deserted sky, I looked at the dull; boring and rusty amusement park in front of me. The amusement park was once a joyful and fun place to be; now it is a lifeless place.

As i walked towards the haunted and abandoned amusement park; I shivered, it was like i had a bad feeling about the park; also it was like as if something there was making me shiver through my whole body. It was about 4 o' clock in the morning when I was going into this dark, meloncholy place."

Many thanks, and full credit, to the author J. Murphy.

The Nomadic Swansong

Well, here we are at last! With a grim smile do I write that, for "here" is the one place we shouldn't be! The end began as predictably as feared; fear, ignorance and hate. Everyone else was wrong, with as much impetus as minds closed rapidly. One way became The Only Way and those buttons were pushed. We knew of the finality of nuclear war. Those that died were lucky. The survivors had this moment to lurch ever towards amidst that which grew from the shadows within. The First were visions of nightmare but relatively easy to eliminate. We didn't always spot them, such was their pallor in twilight, but the mutation needed healthier hosts. It spread with a virulent carnage did this atrocity, as plans to regroup became hysteria. The major cities emptied, the Swarm fleeing behind them in pursuit. What fleeting howls we did perceive at first gained strength in numbers; hordes of Those who were once brethren having strength, until all we could do was hide. But They were smar

Click here to see lots of zombie pictures on the Twisted Imaginings Facebook Page! Zombies. One of the best known, recurring characters in horror film. From George Romero's shuffling corpses in his 'Dead' franchise to the infected, nightmarish crazies of "28 Days Later", everyone has a favourite type of zombie too. This is the first in a series of articles which delves into the origins of the once dead and traces how a zombie turned ( pun intended ) into a staple of the horror genre. A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being made through the restoration of a human corpse. Zombies are most normally discovered in horror and fantasy genre works.  The term comes from Haitian old stories, where a zombie is a dead body vivified through different strategies, generally commonly magic. Present day portrayals of the revival of the dead don't really include enchantment yet frequently invoke science fictional methods such as carri

The Show Must Go On

Andy awoke, heart pounding. As daylight filtered into the bedroom, he switched the alarm off. The nightmares, which had all but been consigned to the darkest corners of his mind, had not only started again, but were returning not just more frequently but more intensely than before. Chloe turned into him, still mostly asleep. He lay there a few moments, allowing the pounding of his heart to slow. It had taken decades to come to terms with that day and he had assumed that the many months of counseling and therapy had lessened the burden of those loathsome yet all too terrifying memories were but a speck in the distance. The waking up to his own hysterical shrieking, the bed wetting and the being petrified of his own shadow had both plagued and haunted every aspect of his existence. He had a life now, an actual life, not a desperately miserable existence where he was often paralysed by what might happen next. The mortgage was almost paid and he was sufficiently established in his career t
