NO THIRD OPTION

The Atlantic Ocean, so blue and so beautiful...

It invites the daring ones to test their need to tame it.

The sky above, the surface level and the water below...

It all awaits the arrogant ones who eventually discover that there is...

No Third Option!

NO THIRD OPTION

(Bald Head Island, North Carolina)

At this very profound moment in time, Lawrence Tate had two choices to make.

He could either stay inside the rapidly deflating raft, risking entanglement and drowning...

Or, he could swim away from the punctured collapsing raft... toward the island in the distance.

The sharks circling his dilemma made the decision an impossible one... drown in the rising water inside this collapsing raft... torn apart by the monsters of the sea... no third option!

THE STATE OF THE UNION OF POLITICAL ZOMBIES

I, Ronald L. Jones, the writer of these horror tales...

Do not want to burn out my eye cells watching political TV tonight!

I do not want to allow my brain to be affected by zombie rhetoric!

But I must be informed when the ultimate liar lies!

How else can I attack the brains of Trump zombies if I am not informed?

Tonight, I must watch... The State of the Union of Political Zombies!

RLJ

THE STATE OF THE UNION OF POLITICAL ZOMBIES

(Herndon, Virginia)

My breath is strained and short... my heart beats erratically as abject fear overtakes me!

I sit here in my TV chair, watching the evening news, awaiting the horror, with terror, soon to come.

The fascist president of the United States of America is soon to give his first State of the Union speech!

Oh the horror of a perverse brain rotted zombie thug, given ultimate power over me, handed over by the brain rotted infected who allowed him to freely bite them... oh the horror, the horror!

THE MOON BEHIND THE CLOUDS

Some men fear the night because they fear what the darkness brings!
And it is exponentially worse at The Witching Hour!
Evil, madness and death follows the blackest night!
And much of the madness is caused by... The Moon Behind The Clouds!

RLJ

THE MOON BEHIND THE CLOUDS

(Lansing, Michigan!

The darkness in the cold midnight outside is as black as ink, hidden behind evil-blocking clouds!
Can it be that nature realizes it should at least try to prevent this abomination that the moon triggers?
Lying in the frosty weeds... a man twists and turns in tortured pain of the terror of a horror transformation!
His bones crack and his skin tears in anticipation of the moon peeking out from behind the clouds... to release the monster again... to make a man a unnatural murderous beast... again!

ICE IN THE DESERT DOES NOT MELT

In this present time of politics gone mad,

When people in power refuse to suppress their evil nature,

That trickle down evil can even be found in the death dealing heat of the desert!

And in that heat... Ice In The Desert Does Not Melt!

TEL

ICE IN THE DESERT DOES NOT MELT

(Alpine, Texas)

One of the more profound questions ever thought by man is: What is the definition of true evil?

I am Tony Lopez... and I have just seen evil so vile it made me want to throw a shoe at my television!

Right there, on my TV screen, in Alpine, Texas... an ICE agent, with glee on his face... is a monster!

In his evil hands are water jugs, hidden away by good Samaritans, for drinking water by sufferers bone dry and near-to-death... him pouring out the water... and enjoying his moment of pure evil!

I HAVE TO DIE

No one lives forever!

Everyone had to die, eventually!

 After over two hundred years of a vampire's life of hazards and pitfalls,

Sal Mancuso has decided that he has had enough!

His final decision is that... I Have To Die!

SOM

I HAVE TO DIE

(Las Vegas, Nevada)

I cannot stay here on this mortal plane of reality any longer because... I have to die!

I've existed for a very long time... more time than I should have... and I now know it's over for me!

I've killed so many humans and I've drank so many gallons of their blood... and I'm so tired!

My feral days are so long gone... I'm clear of mind and self-control now... and I'm no longer afraid of the sun... the soul cleansing of the burning rays... I have to die!

CRUNCH

Children of the forest need to be a tough!

There are all kinds of dangers out there in those dark woods.

One little girl couldn't wait for her chance to test her innocent mettle!

She got that chance and the final result ended in one sickening sound... CRUNCH!

RLJ

CRUNCH

(Black Forest, Germany)

Gilda The Evil Witch Of The Woods was most fond of frying and eating the fingers and toes of her victims!

She was also a changeling who would use her ability to lure hunters and children into her death traps!

The hunters always fell for chasing deer and the children always blindly chased after fluffy white rabbits!

Young Hanna, fearless and strong and unafraid, fell for the rabbit trick... and she was now mad as hell as she sat in the trap... and as soon as that old witch returned.... CRUNCH!

THE EVIL THE SPIRITS MAKE MEN DO

When a man drinks the spirits,

Sometimes the spirits consume the man!

Take a look at these long time drinking buddies to find...

The Evil The Spirits Make Men Do!

THE EVIL THE SPIRITS MAKE MEN DO

(Rio Rancho, New Mexico)

Another Mezcal bottle was almost empty in Jack Mae's shaky right hand... the ugly worm was next, again!

He foolishly thought he could drink himself to death by draining the hard biting liquid contents of another bottle!

He did not die this night, his internal constitution is far stronger than he knew... stronger than Danny's!

Oh, Danny... lying there at Jack's blood stained feet... steak knife jammed deep inside his heart... he dead and growing cold... Jack Mae forever trying to remember why he murdered him!

ON HER SIDE TONIGHT

In the  Horrorwalker World, bad things can happen to people!

The world is harsh and brutal and too bad if you cannot survive there.

But, sometimes fate and luck can provide a good outcome.

Lucky for Susanne Jones, fate and luck are on her side tonight!

RLJ

ON HER SIDE TONIGHT

(Columbus, Ohio)

Young Daniel, all 3 year old of him, climbed up and over the bed rails and walked out of the front door!

Who knows what the little boy is thinking as he walks outside into the midnight bitter winter cold!

Mom, in a dead sleep, her name is Susanne, heard the door slam shut and was suddenly... awake!

Shear horror choked her soul she she flung back her covers and ran, barefoot, into her son's room... finding him gone... and sprinting out of her front door... looking left... dumbfounded to find her shivering son building a snowman!

STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS

Winter winds blow when bitter cold is on the move.

Strange and frightful things can move along that cold wind.

If you don't see cold monsters, can they get you?

You might never find out if you... Stay Away From The Windows!

RLJ

STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS

(Massanutten)

The snow outside is as free as a bird as the winter storm blow the flakes against my bedroom window!

It sounds like hard grains of sand throwing themselves against the cold window, trying to get inside!

Occasionally, something larger and ominous thumps against the window and I don't want to know what it is!

Sometimes, when the winter is angry and the wind is blowing, it is better to let things pass by with the wind... and to stay away from the windows!

RLJ

BLESSED VISCERA

Tonight is a good night for creatures like Allan Marks!

He is mostly human most of the time until he is... not human!

And when he is not human, he is searching for something to kill!

Under the full moon,

As Midnight approaches,

He seeks the sweet taste of... Blessed Viscera!

RLJ

BLESSED VISCERA

(Conway, Arkansas)

It's now late in the night and the Witching Hour is slowly tick tocking toward me!

This night is brightened by a high full moon that is calling out to all the were-creatures out there!

I've already been claimed by tonight's version of the full moon... and, I am now all fur and teeth!

And my hunger is burning my belly... and I know that I must kill soon... because viscera never tastes better than when blessed by... The Witching Hour!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (24)

The dead walk the earth as homicidal cannibals who eat the living!

The living have mostly been murdered and consumed.

I, Jason Allen Cranston, am alive.

My mission in life,

Before I am eventually cornered and bitten,

Is to find somebody else alive... anybody!

Hello Journal, I'm back to writing in your awaiting pages!
This past year has been a very hectic time!
I chased three leads,
From Richmond to Petersburg...
And back to Richmond...
 Hoping to find another person alive!
No luck, but I have some awesome tales to tell!
But today, in this first posting in a long while, it is all about this cold weather!

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (24)

(Richmond, Virginia)

Holy Shit, it's fucking cold outside in this Arctic chill blasting Virginia this early in the winter!

Although I hate going out there and getting to work in the deep freeze, the cold makes my work easy!

The zombies freeze to the point of being an immobile statue of rotting flesh, posing in mid-step!

And it is now when I take my metal baseball bat and smash their skills like frozen melons... decreasing their infinite numbers... enough for  me to get some peace when spring returns!

CONSEQUENCES (AN EXCERPT)

They say New Year's Day is the day to make resolutions for the year to come!

That New Year's day is the day to reflect on your past mistakes!

That New Year's Day is the day to change your life for the better!

And if you don't make some choices, 

There will be... Consequences!

CONSEQUENCES  (AN EXCERPT)

(Herndon, Virginia)

"Well America, the first day of this year of 2018 is coming to a hellaciously bitter cold end here in this city!

A fever dream 2017 full of political shit and horror has changed the world of which I've spent 50 decades in!

I, too, have changed... into a creature I don't recognize... into a monster forged by evil liars in this horror world!

In one year I've witnessed the devastating real world consequences of one man's evil political decisions... and, the horror it creates is like hell itself transferred to the earth's surface!"
