AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER (AN EXCERPT)


It seems so wrong when a younger sibling is forced to hunt the older sibling!
But, that is the plot of this story.
Finally having found the older sibling,
The younger one must now confront this profound question...
Am I My Brother's Keeper?

MGW




AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER (AN EXCERPT)

(New Orleans, Louisiana)


"There may come a time when a man must kill another man in order to save them both!
I'm Marshall Wallas... now glaring into the musty smelling coffin, repulsed by the man asleep inside it.
Well... not a man, exactly... rather, a cursed undead ringer for what had once been my older brother, Seth.
The search is over... the sun outside this old abandoned house is high... the old wood Oak stake is sharp and long... the mallet is held high... and with one strike, we are both saved from 15 years of hell on this bright December day!"

OUT IN THE WILD WITH THE SPIRITS (AN EXCERPT)


I, Stanley Muir, am the brother of Susan Muir.
We've both lived the Northern Alaska life for nearly three decades.
And... we've seen things and done things that regular people never experience.
We've been taught secret things by our Native Americans friends 
Susan, with her huge appetite for knowledge, has seen much more than I have.
That's because she is... Out In The Wild With The Spirits.

SHM






OUT IN THE WILD WITH THE SPIRITS (AN EXCERPT)

(Kaktovik, Alaska)


"Susan Muir has been a fiercely independent soul ever since she was a little girl hunting with her father, and her older brother, out in the woods!
After high school, she packed up her stuff, including her guns and knives, and told her dad she was going to live alone in the wilderness with the spirits!
The feed yourself, or die, northern Alaskan life prepared her for the harsh life she leads, and hard it is... but, she is of the wild!
It is the dead winter of now... and the snow has entombed her log cabin... and now she is as wild as she has always wanted to be... as wild as the hungry snow spirits scratching on the cabin as they migrate searching for food... so souls!"

RETURNING FROM THE GRAVE TO SAY HELLO


When Roberto Garcia awoke from the dead, that night...
He had one urge that drove him to claw his way out of his 6 feet under coffin!
Revenge, for himself... and for...
Well, he wasn't simply... Returning From The Grave To Say Hello!

RLJ





RETURNING FROM THE GRAVE TO SAY HELLO

(Fayetteville, North Carolina)


That life of mine, that bag of shit and bones, was all fucked-up... smelling like an old corpse filled coffin!
I told everybody to go to hell last year when I put the .45 Colt in my mouth and vaporized my brain... I told them!
Last night I awakened in the rank putrid darkness inside my tomb... one year later... what?... how do I know these details?
Wait... I can hear it calling... the tortured earth calling for a savior... me... the first undead soldier... to destroy them all... to avenge her savaging by man... and, to get a little revenge for me, too!

THE WHISPERS ARE WHISPERING AGAIN


Washington D.C. is where the craziest of the crazy go to work!
Right there in the White House is the prime example!
And in those other hallowed hallways and rooms of the federal government?
Madness roams those hallways and rooms!
Take this one government official as an example, for example!
Listen to his madness as... The Whisperers Are Whispering Again!

RLJ





THE WHISPERS ARE WHISPERING AGAIN

(Washington, D.C)


Congressman Jason Lord awakened out of a dead sleep at exactly 5:00 A.M on this fateful morning!
What awoke him was those "goddamn whisperers" again... they are back and they are talking!
The voices in his head, some male and some female, are all asking him if he is ready to kill... again!
Jason reached toward the nightstand for the Asenapine... he shook an empty bottle... panic shook him... the whisperers giggled... and Jason lost track of his mind... again!

THAT FORTY-FOUR CALIBER EVIL


Face it everybody, we're all a little fucked-up in the head!
Nobody is perfect!
Nobody has a perfect brain!
And because of human mental complexity...
Anything introduced into that imperfection could instigate tragedy!
We'll call it... That Forty-Four Caliber Evil!

THAT FORTY-FOUR CALIBER EVIL

(LaGrange, Alabama)


When Harold Mason was 30 years old, two years ago, he found a .44 Smith & Wesson Model 629!
The shiny new-looking gun was wrapped in newspaper, hidden behind a dumpster at the neighborhood 7-11!
 Something about the pistol, a force that overtook his fractured mind when he touched it, put evil thoughts in his mind!
He has never fired a gun before... but today, when beautiful Sarah at work rebuffed his advances once again... that gun, that evil, was the only thing he saw... that evil!

THE WORST KIND OF JOKE


The creepy thing of many a horror nightmare is on the move tonight!
Some people believe this creepy thing is innocent fun!
Others believe this creepy thing is... The Worst Kind Of Joke!

RLJ




THE WORST KIND OF JOKE

(Bangor, Maine)


Is a monstrously horrific joke with a horrifically bad delivery really a horrific joke at all?
Is the joke funny if a homicidal maniac dressed in a clown suit is killing you with a bloody machete?
It did not matter to Al English as his head was lopped off in a bloody mess... only the clown laughed!
Oh yea,  the clown cackled that murder by clown is a joke in itself... but, a dead man will never find the humor in his own murder... as the clown struck the still body again!

BAT WINGS


When the bats you see become the bats you hear,
Then you must be listening to the sounds of... Bat Wings!

RLJ






BAT WINGS

(Decatur, Illinois)


I know for weeks there are several noisy large bats living in my spacious attic up above my head!
At night, I've seen them climb in and out of the broken gable vents the squirrels chewed through!
Yesterday evening, I was about to go up there and case them away with a broom and patch the gable!
That was before I heard the whispering words up there... and larger flapping bat wings... and other strange noises... and now, I think, I'd better take a cross and a stake and a mallet up there with me!

TO STOP THE BLEEDING


My name is Shepard Lexington!
I've chased Alexandra for one full year!
I might have tried to help her cope with her condition,
Except for the fact that she is a murdering monster.
I've finally caught her!
And now it is time... To Stop The Bleeding!

SAL




TO STOP THE BLEEDING

(San Antonio, Texas)


I tried to stop the bleeding but the bite was too deep into my neck and my artery!
Why vampires have to but humans in their necks, I'll never understand... but, it bit me there!
I've killed the vampire, driving the sharp Oak wood stake into it's heart... right through its bones!
I've killed an abomination... and the abomination killed me... and I cannot allow myself to turn... and so, I continue to bleed as I place my last silver bullet into my rifle!

IT'S A GOOD DREAM TO HAVE


Sometimes you just want to stay in bed in the morning.
Sleep takes you away from reality horror.
You awaken from your slumber with fresh dream memories.
You smile as you remember... It's A Good Dream To Have!

RLJ





IT'S A GOOD DREAM TO HAVE

(Herndon, Virginia)


It's a good dream to have... the one about a world where evil does not exist!
This good dream is not about absent supernatural evil... but, about the evil men perpetrate!
There are ugly bombs to be burst in air, rockets to glare our stare, proof of war and horror in air!
But in this good dream, the horror does not exist... and God is not on the lips of man... and we need never awaken to man's horror again!

THE MONSTER THROWS LEAD


Somebody knows a monster when he, or she, sees it!
And if you decide to keep what you see to yourself...
Then don't feign surprise when the... Monster Throws Lead!

RLJ




THE MONSTER THROWS LEAD

(Somewhere In The USA)


One day, my reality became a horror existence... the world I know turned upside down!
Because of the actions of millions of people I don't know, I was now living in a waking nightmare!
Frighteningly murderous werewolves and vampires and goblins and zombies now walk among the living!
And they look like you and me... until they get an easily accessed assault style rifle in their hands... and then I can see the real monster within them... as the bullets whiz by and rip through flesh!

TRANSITION BY EQUINOX AND SOLSTICE


It is about that time of the year again...
When the weather cools and the night appears sooner!
This is the time when ghosts and ghouls and vampires and werewolves play with death!
The time is a... Transition By Equinox And Solstice!

RLJ





TRANSITION BY EQUINOX AND SOLSTICE

(Sterling, Virginia)


Something scary happened last night... creeping in behind a weather cold front full of bluster and blow!
It marched through the state with soldiers comprised of driving rain drops and vibrating thunder!
By the next sunrise, the muggy extended summer was gone... replaced by dry, crisp autumn atmosphere!
And now, can you hear it... from the ground and from the air... scratching and the moaning and the padded footsteps... of the scary creatures of All Hallows Eve appearing once again?

APPEASE THE MOTHER MOON


Even during the midst of an Indian Summer,
The moon still calls to all the creatures of the fall full moon!
And all of the feral beasts,
Some natural... some unnatural,
Are willing to Appease The Mother Moon!

RLJ




APPEASE THE MOTHER MOON

(Waterford, Virginia)


The dayglow shining in the midnight darkness calls to me like a mother calling a child!
I can hear the siren call attracting me... pulling me... with a bond of which I cannot reason!
As my hands become dangerous sharp nailed claws, and my mind fades to black, the wolf emerges!
Not just any kind of feral wolf... a monstrously large upright moon wolf... a werewolf... with murder on my mind... as I appease the mother moon shining her light on me!

BLOOD SUCKING INSOMNIAC


Whether you be human,
Or monster,
Watching the daily news on the TV can turn you into a...
Blood Sucking Insomniac!

BLOOD SUCKING INSOMNIAC

(Washington, D.C.)


What can you say about an ancient vampire who cannot sleep because of its human-like depression?
Can you give that bloodletting, feral, godless monster any sympathy for its personal horror?
Why would that creature of the horror darkness of the dark night even, in any way, expect sympathy?
Too bad for an evil creature of the night... no one told you to watch the real world horrors on CNN... making you sad and depressed as the humans you hunt for food!

When you were alive, you told me to never leave you... and I never will... fore, this is your bedroom... now and forever more!

A TRIGGER TO MADNESS




Why do horror stories seem take on an air of realism when guns are involved?
Because guns are... A Trigger To Madness!

RLJ
  




A TRIGGER TO MADNESS

(Herndon, Virginia)


Thank the lord you believe in that, as prone to craziness as humans are, nature puts stoppers inside us!
Inside our minds, most of us can see ourselves before we go so crazy... before we become dangerous!
Some of us are not wired properly, though... and so, those stoppers do not prevent insanity takeover!
And if you are another mad gun fetishist, driven crazier by the corrupting power of gun ownership and governmental protectionism, you might simply snap and fill the world with you own private horror!

A FUTURE OF OPPRESSION


The future of the United States of America is a bleak one indeed!
After the Trump year,
And the complete Russian takeover,
War between the peoples of America was a fact, inevitable!
The race war continues,
Because of... A Future Of Oppression!

RLJ





A FUTURE OF OPPRESSION

(Theodore, Alabama)


One of the first things the Russians did, after their takeover of America, was to imprison all of the gay people in secret locations... and to quickly make them vanish from American soil!

As the "LGBTQ Apocalypse" was scrubbing American society, Russia next rounded up the "Colored People" and interned them in reservations by ethnicity... shipping them down to the Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama coastline, in what is now known as "The Nigger Zone!"

 As it was to be expected, the complicit white political establishment of America stood by and allowed the horror of a genocidal Russia to unfold as Russia promised to give America back to the white people from which America had been stolen from by the "Colored People!"

And today, in the year of our Lord, 2059, the secret "Colored Underground" has finally coordinated its resources and people to make a first effort of a long due first strike at terrorism against the oppressors above the zone... to make our way all the way up to the "New Russian White House in DC... to spark the inevitable "Colored vs. New Russians" war that is coming... a blood war... so, let the horror begin in three, two, one!

FALLING DOWN THE NIGHTMARE


Emory Northam is in the fitful throes of a nightmare, again!
Another day of hard work past, 
He fell asleep almost as soon as he walked through the bedroom door!
What is he thinking as he twitches and jerks on the top of the quilt?
He is obviously... Falling Down The Nightmare!

RLJ





FALLING DOWN THE NIGHTMARE

(Vancouver, Canada)


The dream is still always the same... me falling up, or down, into the nothingness as I impotently scream!
I know that I'm asleep and dreaming as the horror unfolds, but I'm helpless to take control of my mind!
As I'm falling, I remember the old myth that warns the dreamer that to hit the floor in a nightmare is to die!
That notion is where the horror in my dream resides... will I roll off my bed and die trapped in this nightmare... or, will I awake again, perhaps, to dream again?

A TEACHER'S LACHRYMATION (AN EXCERPT)

...Two pain caused tears slowly cascaded down the cheeks of Miss. Lars, one of the last school teachers left in LA.
At 72 years old, she is old enough to remember the day the first nuclear bomb fell on Los Angeles... The Great Day Of Sadness!
The then President was busy wrecking world peace with his racist, threatening and crazy America First Nonsense!
He baited frightening world leaders with his crazy rhetoric, while Americans stood by and passively watched the madness of world war unfold, and the end result was the end of a beautiful world... and the few children left to pick up the pieces are the ones who suffered the most!...

FACTOR ZOMBIES INTO THE HEALTHCARE DEBATE


Even in the far distant future, 
The American healthcare debate debacle continues!

And they began to murder and eat, and infect, the living...
The ruling party of United States Government perversely decided to NOT...
Factor Zombies Into The Healthcare Debate!

FACTOR ZOMBIES INTO THE HEALTHCARE DEBATE

(Olney, Maryland)


The healthcare debate of hundreds of years ago continues even during the zombie apocalypse of 2143!
One would have assumed, when the government took control of Dr. Jones' injectable cure in 2141, the government would work together to make us all whole!
But hell no... the Republicans, as racist and evil as always, raised holy hell at the idea of another attempt at universal healthcare and allowed the zombie carnage to continue!
Politics, religion, greed, Republicanism and hatred were their reasons to keep the cure in the Washington, D.C. fortress... while the rest of humanity continues to battle the undead... until we all find a way to get inside the beltway!

Her old world Gypsy heritage of dark magic followed her to the new world and touched her in death!
In life, she knew that she might return from the dead as a soul stealing Revenant... and she did return!
Today, she still haunts the entire state of Maine... and she hungers for a nightly kill... and, as always, she might be hunting you right now!

THE SCREAMS NEXT DOOR (AN EXCERPT)


This is the tale of... a young teenager at home alone at midnight!
The haunting sounds coming from the house next door!
A hidden gun in mom's room!
That gun makes it a little easier to investigate... The Screams Next Door!

THE SCREAMS NEXT DOOR  (AN EXCERPT)

(Paradise, Nevada)


...Dear diary... oh, my god... I just heard a bone chilling scream come from inside the abandoned house next door!
If mom were here, instead of Las Vegas on another business trip, I would tell her to call her cop friends!
But, I'm just a snotty nosed kid, officer Jeff continues to remind me of every time he comes over here to visit mom!
But, 13 years old or not, I know where she keeps her secret pistols... and I know how to get them... and the second scream I just heard means I'm going to get them right now!...

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS


The house music is thumping to the heartbeats of the night dancers on the dance floor.
Hookups are bound to happen on this moonlit Friday night... they are inevitable.
You better at least make an effort to know something about your conquest, though.
Because in the morning,
When the sun arises,  
You might so shocked and surprised by what you discover that you might exclaim...
You Can't Be Serious!

RLJ





YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

((Flint, Michigan)


What happened to Mark Lansing last night was so over-the-top crazy that he still can't believe it!
The dried blood and dust he's cleaning off his bed sheets and pillows and bedroom walls is a stark reminder!
You bring home a hot woman from the bar up the street, you chain her hands and feet to your bed as you do dirty things to her and she turns out to be a bloodlust filled vampire!
You didn't realize what she really was until the morning sun through the window burned her to ashes right there in front of you... leaving you to dumbfounded as you exclaimed, "You can't be serious!"

A WOLF ON AN AIRPLANE (AN EXCERPT)



A man who becomes a monster at that time of the month should...
Make sure he is on the right time before he boards an airplane!
Alton Black is now in the air...
And he has,
In effect,
Murdered dozens of trapped-in-the-air innocents!
Why would he risk putting... A Wolf On An Airplane?

Oh god, oh god, oh god... what the fuck happend to me and this goddamn two hour flight to Miami?
Holy hell, it's now dark outside the window and over there... tonight is the first full moon of the month!
I fell asleep...  we're in the sky... this flight was supposed to take off 4 hours ago... what the hell happened?
My god... the hairs are growing on the back of my hands... my teeth are growing for murdering... oh god, there are children on this plane... and the plug door is right there...!

THE COOL RAIN ON HER FACE


-- a MEALS FOR VAMPIRES tale --

Why is that strange looking woman standing in the middle of the street?
And why is she standing there letting the water wet her face?
Whatever she is doing, she seems to enjoy... The Cool Rain On Her Face!

RLJ





THE COOL RAIN ON HER FACE

(Dallas, Texas)


Sanding in the middle of the lamp lit street, under the cloak of a very heavy midnight darkness,
The vampire mistress stands in place as the driving rain washed fresh blood from her upturned mouth!
Even the undead can appreciate getting back to nature, allowing primal pleasures to wash over her...
The thrill of the human kill, the bliss of gulping down nearly two gallons of his blood, and now... the feral pleasure of cool rain on her face!

THE CITY OF DARKNESS


(Prologue: The City Of Darkness)


The old man is telling a gathering of curious children about the old days.
 What is this electricity the old man speaks of?
What was it like to live inside the tall buildings in the city?
What was it like to go to a movie?
What was life like before the death bombs fell out of the sky?
The old man commands a large audience every time he decides to speak.
They especially love his remembrances about... The City Of Darkness!

DEL




THE CITY OF DARKNESS

(San Francisco, California)


Most of the buildings in this city of darkness have long since been consumed by decay!
That decay is fueled by the absence of the light of life and the degradation of filthy darkness!
People have long since abandoned this once thriving city by the bay... because of the earthquakes!
It's surreal to remember that one of the terrorist's bomb blasts triggered the fault that destroyed half a state and created this dangerous... City Of Darkness!

I LIKE THE WAY YOU SCREAM


(Prologue)

There is a large man trapped inside a larger metal cage.
Several men his size could fit inside with good elbow room.
His captor has made her murderous intentions very known to him.
She even encourages him to to beg for his release because, she says...
I Like The Way You Scream!

RLJ





I LIKE THE WAY YOU SCREAM

(Meridian, Mississippi)


Come on, now... your screaming and your crying is really not becoming of a strapping big man like you.
You actually should be standing there behind the bars of your cage in quiet sissy-like introspection.
You were taken down by a little girl like me and dragged by your hair into my cave to be my meal later tonight.
Don't let the fangs and claws fool you, I'm still only 13 years old... plus 130 years... so keep up the background noise because... I Like The Way You Scream!

BY THE BLOOD ON YOUR TEETH


A MEALS FOR VAMPIRES PRODUCTION


(prologue)

A trip to the dentist for dental work... who wants to go through that?
And what do you do if you are a blood drinking member of the all night undead?
You hunt your prey, drink their blood and live on the edge...
By The Blood On Your Teeth!

ECD






BY THE BLOOD ON YOUR TEETH

(Bangor, Maine)


As I wiped the deep red congealing blood off of my face and mouth, I had a silly thought!
In over 159 years, I've never had a toothache or even a cavity inside my blood craving mouth!
 And, what would a dentist have to say about my dental condition if I ever showed up at his practice?
Are vampire teeth protected by the same midnight evil that keeps me forever undead... and could a dentist even drill into my enamel... before I drank his blood?
