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 Call Of The Night

-
As sun sets, as all around prepares to sleep. Do you hear it? Those murmers, as the gloom descends, The sun failing, as nights blanket envelopes all. Solitude now, thoughts prevail, their pace quickens; For now the shadows shall play. What terror I understand, as blackest tendrils probe, Feeding, breeding therein! Solace! What bitter lover are thee? Wrenching fear and cold sweat, Creeping, malicious paranoia you are! The only comfort, those first birds at dawn. As sunrise, hasten your temporary retreat. We will meet again.....

The Invasion

-
I was at work, sifting through emails, when I heard the crash. It was a window at the opposite end of the corridor from my office, so by the time myself and other confused staff got there whatever had strewn glass and left a viscous looking trail of slime was gone. Those nearest began to panic, so I turned and made for the stairs. I'm noted for my calm under pressure but sprinting down four flights of stairs to the sound of what can only be described as utter chaos from my floor and the outside world marked a point where my nerves were severely tested. The scene outside pushed me a little closer to the edge. There were people and vehicles everywhere, as though a hurricane had visited! Those that could stand were mostly staring in the direction of the city centre, wide eyed and open mouthed. It appears the a series of what were thought to be small rocks, possibly meteorites,  had landed. We were soon to discover they were some sort of pod from which some sort of creatures had emerge...

The Night Shift

-
That first night I put it down to tiredness and equipment malfunction. The company were notorious for not spending. Profits spoke louder than pay and conditions. Nevertheless, I duly noted the flickering screens that overlooked the basement and its single corridor before my night shift ended, mostly because it wasn't worth the aggravation of not reporting it. Doing our jobs properly, even if you were the night security, was important to management. Maximum work for minimum wage. I fully expected there to be no change the next night and there wasn't. The only way in or out of the basement would lead you straight through reception and the basement contained the dusty remnants of past stock and advertising. So it was hardly a surprise that I sat down to the same two flickering screens. After doing my first rounds of the building, I got comfortable with the radio on and began reading the sports pages. It was about halfway through my shift, the mild, balmy summer night holding the t...
