WHAT IS IN THE CEILING

The sounds up there must be stopped!

The source has not been discover, as of yet.

The man at the table wants to know...

What Is In The Ceiling?

WHAT IS IN THE CEILING

Arnold Allen is sitting in his darkened kitchen intently listening to the clicking in the ceiling.

He is, again, trying to focus his hearing and his mind to the exact position of the sounds of spying.

The ceiling drywall is a battle zone of scratches, scrapes and bullet holes... to find the listening devices.

On the kitchen table is a loaded pistol and a bottle of Risperidone... he hasn't taken a pill in months!

SOAKING WET

Some people say that buried treasure lays among the silt at the bottom of the Boston Harbor.

That familiar looking object there...

Just down there at the bottom...

That is definitely not buried treasure.

Whatever it is... it is rooted in horror... and it is Soaking Wet!

PAS

SOAKING WET

Marion committed his own special kind of mayhem... running the city corners with a mean street crowd.

He stole, he shot, he sold and he pimped... all to appease the all consuming monster called the streets.

He thought he was invincible... the anonymity of the night darkness provided a false sense of security.

Ask him that question now, if you could... he is at the bottom of the harbor -- cement shoes, and all!

ON THE TRAIN TRACKS

The approaching train horn is blaring its warning!

The car on the track is stuck fast there.

The man inside is dillydallying as he tries to move the car.

Doesn't he know there is death... On The Train Tracks?

OPM 

  

ON THE TRAIN TRACKS

Alfred's sometimes reliable 1982 Chevy Malibu just stalled out again... this time on the train tracks!

Everybody in town has had his car stall out on these tracks one time, or the other.

How many people have died as a result of the huge gap between the tracks that traps car tires there?

If Alfred doesn't hurry the hell up and get out out of his car, he'll be the latest train crash victim!

CROWS

My name is Allen Marks.

I am basically trapped in my home right now.

The heavy snows have buried this neighborhood 4 feet deep.

It might be days before Callie and the kids can make it back home.

In the meantime, I have unwanted company in my time of stress.

And the time has come for this company to vacate the premises!

AAM

CROWS

Startled awake, the time on my alarm clock was 5:45 AM... and I was pissed to be awake!

What awoke me was a loud thumping sound emanating from the snow covered outside of my house!

I had to step outside into the bitter cold in order to discover... 20 CROWS pecking at my frozen roof!

That was 4 days ago... I can't make them leave... to stop the sounds... and I don't own a goddamn gun!

A PLEA FOR HOPE

Sometimes the horror one lives through is so profound he can only beg for... 

A Plea For Hope!

QUM

A PLEA FOR HOPE

...Arthur's new wife was recently whisked away by one of those damnable creatures of the night.

They are human sized bat creatures who appeared from the terrible depths of the midnight darkness.

They vex us cloaked in the darkest night to terrorize and pillage our villages from hill to dale.

We have trained a hunting party... they just left to hunt down the monsters and get our people back!...

FIFTEEN SECONDS TO PONDER A LIFE

The human mind is an awesome thing.

It is amazing that in a moment of high stress the mind only needs...

Fifteen Seconds To Ponder A Life!

DRJ

FIFTEEN SECONDS TO PONDER A LIFE

The frighteningly hellish moment lasted all of a mortifyingly surreal 15 seconds!

I rolled over the frozen spot on the road that caused my car to spin like a top about six times.

How in the hell I didn't slam into any other cars, but the snowy curb, is known only to fate.

My life flashed before my eyes in an instant... and a car crash would not be a pretty way to end it!

DRJ

SNOW ATTACK

Six inches of snow fell in five hours.

Somebody has to shovel the show off the driveway.

You know it was not suppose to be you.

And now you are suffering a... Snow Attack!

RLM

SNOW ATTACK

The temp outside is a snowy 17 degrees and Ronald Martin was out there shoveling driveway snow.

One week ago, his doctor told him to NOT shovel any more snow because of his fucked-up heart!

Well, actually... his doctor did not actually use such harsh, base language during that appointment.

But Ronald, now lying on his back... in the snow... in the driveway... clutching his heart... wishes she had!

THE TELEVISION DRUG THAT KILLED THE INNOCENT MAN

Swayed by another slick drug company commercial on TV...

My dad, Sam Clements, asked his doctor to prescribe what he thought might help him.

Now Sam Clements is dead,

Buried six feet under,

And there is the commercial again on the TV...

The one with the Television Drug That Killed The Innocent Man!

MAC 

THE TELEVISION DRUG THAT KILLED THE INNOCENT MAN

The enticingly slick commercial on the TV said its drug could cure my smoking!

The commercial on the TV also gave a long and terrible list of devastating side effects!

The ultimate side effect on the long list of side effects was worse that the smoking... death!

Is the USA Food and Drug Administration now run by demon lobbyist from Hell itself?

FOLLOWING THE BUBBLES

We went too far this time!

We have finally pushed our luck too far and we are now...

Following The Bubbles!

WLM

FOLLOWING THE BUBBLES

All four of us knew the dangers involved in Penetration Diving in the wilds of Mexico.

Max’s map was wrong... the left turn took us down deeper that we were aware of.

Peter has minutes of air left... Jean and Pat have a little more... I have more than them.

We’re not going to make it... thousands of yards from the surface... following the bubbles!

A HARD LANDING

Even creatures from outer space should avoid war torn planet Earth!
They would be in for... A Hard Landing!

RLJ

A HARD LANDING

The view from outer space was that of a beautiful blue orb sprinkled with sparkling lights.

The inhabitants of the advanced space craft were intrigued by surreal beauty they observed.

They simply had to investigate... for, their mission was to visit planets and collect information for the hive.

The lights they saw were of war... and they were promptly destroyed by an RPG before they could say hello!

AMORAL

Five years later --
The British oil company,
The one that nearly destroyed a coastal region of the southern USA,
Continues to be... Amoral!

RLJ

AMORAL

The British oil executive stood before the stunned congregation and declared his company a victim, too.
Even though his company polluted the gulf in which they all made their living off of, he deflected the blame.
The sickening smell of the oil and the chemicals from the busted, leaking underwater pipes filled the air!
Horror, still unleashed upon the people of this region of the USA, by amoral men in an amoral company!

RLJ

SNOWBLIND

It's freezing cold and snowing outside!

The birds won't even fly in this kind of weather.

But here I am outside in the middle of it...

Out here in this dangerous scene from a horror movie...

And I am Snowblind!

SLO

SNOWBLIND

Dear God in heaven, what in the hell am I doing out here on the road in the midst of this winter storm!

Betty forgot that she wanted milk for the soup she's making for the duration of this arctic-like snowfall!

And now... here I am six miles from home... blinding snow all around me... in the hell that is a huge pile-up!

The violent strike from behind sent me spinning into this snowbank... and here comes another car right now!

MRS. TONEY'S HISTORY LESSON

Children's minds are like sponges.

Thank goodness for the profoundness that is:

Mrs. Toney's History Lesson!

RLJ

  

MRS. TONEY'S HISTORY LESSON

Mrs. Toney's  seventh grade class stood pretty silent as all 22 students absorbed the somber ambiance.

Even young children of their age could feel the gravity that pulls at the soul in Manassas National Park.

The horrors of a Civil War long past still resonate like a beating drum, even to the present day.

The horrors of history must be taught to the children... so that THEY will not repeat those past horrors!

HIS NEIGHBOR THE MURDERER

Do you really know your neighbors?

Do they really know you?

Saul Martin knows about...

His Neighbor The Murderer!

SAM

HIS NEIGHBOR THE MURDERER

I saw the man in the apartment next door plunge a knife into a woman's back last night!

I just so happened to be peeping out my window when he committed the horrible murder!

He can't be the Blackstone Serial killer who is terrorizing the county... that's me!

I've got possible competition... living next door... fate calls for the death of one of us tonight!

THE COMING OUT PARTY

Good things often happen in a Horrorwalker World.

Let us explore one of them in:

The Coming Out Party!

SAN

THE COMING OUT PARTY

I thought that if I came out to my parents they might murder me in my sleep!

I've witnessed the horror and the terror dealt to several friends by their homophobic relatives!

The paranoia I have struggled with through 11 years of school had made me miserable!

But I told them... and their world did not implode... they love me... and my horror is now bliss!

HANGING OUT UNDER A NORTH CAROLINA FULL MOON

Gosh darn it, Gladys... that was a good time at the ol' Oak tree last night.
We gotta keep them people in their places.
I can't wait to spend another night with you...
Hanging Out Under A North Carolina Full Moon!

VAM

HANGING OUT UNDER A NORTH CAROLINA FULL MOON

The moon was a beautiful orb of silver light hanging high above the clear Summer nighttime.

I remember how sweetly earthy the warm humidity of the North Carolina air was that night.

I found a painful serenity as the crowd gathered around his dangling feet, cheering on his death.
This is coastal KKK country.... and for some of them, this is their accepted inevitable fate!

THE SUMMONING

John just put the sledgehammer through this area of the basement drywall.

He did not expect to discover anything of value behind the wall.

He did...

And he eagerly examined what he found.

How could he have known he was ignorantly performing...

The Summoning! 

NSP

THE SUMMONING

John Parker thought he had just found an old comic book behind the smashed-in drywall. 

The drawings on the pages inside the colorful covers were detailed and very awesome.

The language on the first two pages were alien to him so he phonetically pronounced the words.

When the fire breathing demon suddenly appeared before him... there was no comic in this book!

NSP

THE FINAL DESTINATION OFF THE RIVER STYX

He was a great man of war, he was!

But when he angered the Gods with his arrogance,

They forced him to face:

The Final Destination Off The River Styx!

HOM

THE FINAL DESTINATION OFF THE RIVER STYX

...I know what this monstrous three-headed creature is that looms so large before me.

It is Cerberus... and it is staring me down with eyes as wild and deadly as a forest fire.

In the distance, behind the giant dog creature, is the fiery gate to Hades... my final destination.

I am forced to walk toward it, to drop my sword, and accept the fate the Gods have ordered...!

TAMMY MARTIN'S SOUVENIR

I didn't really want to do it! But, my brothers always told me to go for the balls first!

TRM

TAMMY MARTIN'S SOUVENIR 

My name is Tammy and I grew up with six brawling brothers and I know how to exact revenge.

Benton should not have been a dick that night a month ago and punched me in the stomach... again.

You better believe I keep a sharpened pair of sheers in a drawer in the nightstand by my bed.

Oh yea, those are a long dead and gone Benton's testicles in the alcohol jar on top of the nightstand!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (7)

Jason Allen Cranston,
Quite possibly the last living man in America,
Tosses and turns on the stiff bed in his makeshift bunker.
The ever present undead know he is inside.
They desire his flesh... to consume, by rote.
They make an awful commotion all through every night.
And so, another tiny chapter in the life of a man trying to manage...
The Homicidal Dead!

JAC

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (7)

As usual, all that moaning and groaning and scratching and banging out there affects my sleep at night.
Zombie death nightmares haunt me every time I lose consciousness when the exhaustion overtakes me.
Sometimes I dream about survivors in... say... Georgia who fight zombies, and feral humans, alike!
But those are comic book dreams of fantasy... for, I can only wish for that kind of drama in my life!

OH, WHAT HORROR THE WIND BLOWS IN

Tikaani was named by his grandmother 63 years ago.

She told her daughter, his mother, that she saw in him the "sight of the wolf."

Tikaani does possess the ability to sense the presence of ancient spirits.

This cold hard winter has left him lamenting the question,

"Oh, What Horror The Wind Blows In?"

ASN

OH, WHAT HORROR THE WIND BLOWS IN

This year's Alaskan winter drew in some mighty strong winds that ripped through Anchorage.

When the howling air blows so hard it squeezes through the cracks in the walls of houses,

The folks on the outskirts of town are reminded of the reason they store their food indoors.

This winter, the fearsome Keelut prowls the final frontier... and even the sleigh dogs refuse to Mush!

WHAT'S IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Markov Bellatrix is a very picker eater.

He developed his fondness for the most exotic of meat in Ukraine.

 Ancient traditions always revolve around eating.

You know the company you want to keep when you ask...

What's In Your Refrigerator?

WHAT'S IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR

...Markov the Butcher keeps the vegetables in the bottom crisper section of the refrigerator. 

He keeps the juices and the sodas and the chilled water in the upper cooling area.

He stores the eggs and the butter and the condiments in the shelves in the door.

And he keeps the choice cuts of human meat in the freezer, where it keeps fresh and sweet...!

Another innocent murder victim has been... 

Resurrected To Kill You Dead Like Me!

ZOM

RESURRECTED TO KILL YOU DEAD LIKE ME

I was minding my own business in my dorm room on that fateful full moon night.

I though my roommate had entered my room, but it was you... my evil murderer.

You killed me in a manner so heinous that some unknown force brought me back from the dead!

I've tracked you down to this hotel room... and now, you are mine to make YOU suffer as I suffered!

IT IS DARK INSIDE THAT DISTURBED MIND

The six psychiatrists in the prison hospital all have only one thing to say about Jason Miller!

That is... It Is Dark Inside That Disturbed Mind!

JAZ

IT IS DARK INSIDE THAT DISTURBED MIND

The black death answers to the dark and ugly questions boggle his twisted inquisitive mind!

He doesn't have to go on his murderous tangents because of his confusion... but, he does...

Just because it is always easier for this disturbed mind to be evil than to be good...!

A LITTLE FRESH AIR

The young girl's captor fucked up this morning!

He left her with too much slack in her wrist binding.

She made her move when he left the building for a time.

Now, he is her tortured prisoner!

She tells all in her tale... Of A Little Fresh Air!

RLJ

A LITTLE FRESH AIR 

...I've managed to break the thick glass of this Casement Window to allow some gas to escape.

The gas has dissipated in here to the extent that I can now think as fresh air comes inside.

My captor has come back to this place... I hear his car rolling up to the other side of the house.

I've found this box cutter... and I know I now have the strength to slice his throat...!

A BASEMENT FULL OF SECRETS

A man and a woman meet at a bar.

Eventually, she tells him to drop by her place one Saturday.

Little did he know she has A Basement Full Of Secrets!

AAO

A BASEMENT FULL OF SECRETS

Allison is a deranged, murderous human monster who never learned any self-control.

Men have always confused her because she has very twisted trust issues with them!

Too bad for her that Marcus called the cops on her when he paid a visit her country house!

The smell from the dead bodies in the basement assaulted his soul as soon as she opened the door!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (6)

I am still good with math and dates.

Today would be,

If I have calculated the days right on my makeshift calendar,

 Super Bowl 69.

It is so crazily profound to me how much that sport meant to me!

Even crazier is...

I have no one to share that love with.

Thank god for football on VHS and DVD...  and pockets of still working electricity!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (6)

Sunday has come around again... seven day until the next seven days!

My, does the time fly by when you are fighting for your life in a wasteland zombie cataclysm!

I would rather be watching a great football tackle on a widescreen TV today... but it is not to be.

I tackled and killed that zombie monstrosity that was eating that dog last week... not quite the same!
