Every small town has that one urban legend that everyone knows about and that has a few different variations. However, urban legends tend to have some truth to them, regardless the number of variations it may have or how far it has been strayed from its origins. I learned that the hard way. Let me back up a little bit, say oh.... 5,6 years? Yeah, it'd be somewhere around that and tell you about my experiences. When I was 16 years old I lived in a small sleepy farming town in Missouri called Harrisburg in the middle of August, it was your typical small rural American town. Churches … [Read more...] about The Dark Side of Harrisburg
The Obsession
Rain tapped on the window as a young woman was driving down the long dirt road, the hospital she worked at as very isolated and away from everything just in case someone escaped. She had short red hair and black glasses, her bright blue eyes shimmered in the light, there was high expectations of this woman at her work place. Many people loved her even the patients enjoyed talking to her, but there was one patient who interested her, his name was Dominika Grant, he had an obsession of a fictional character and he would not talk to anyone, not even her.

The House on Dogwood Street
I lived in a small and sheltered house located on the outskirts of West Virginia, in a underpopulated town that only attracted families who wanted a peaceful and quiet life surrounded by dark and dense forests filled to the brim with grim trees and a looming sense of mystery that set a creepy aire to the town. I still remember that day in ‘79, the day was relatively slow as most days appeared to be. With dry and humid air, paired with a sun that was partly covered with puffy grey clouds, which from what my mother had told me signaled that there would be rain later in the day. Everyone saw the … [Read more...] about The House on Dogwood Street
