Skeletons hate life,
Darkness abides them,
A dark shadow,
Covered the walls...
But it will always be hidden,
In the darkness of night,
Until eventually,
It will end up on you..

Haunted Hearts on Halloween (song)
Verse 1:
Under the moonlight glow,
I see your shadow dance,
Memories in whispers flow,
Lost in our last chance.
Chorus:
You’re a ghost in my heart,
Haunting every street,
Tangled in your laugh,
Our love bittersweet.
Verse 2:
Pumpkin lights flicker,
Where we carved our dreams,
I trace our laughter,
But it’s never what it seems.
Chorus:
You’re a ghost in my heart,
Haunting every street,
Tangled in your touch,
Cursed to feel complete.
Outro:
Each Halloween night,
I chase what we lost,
Falling for your spirit,
But love’s a chilling cost.

Dear Diary,
Something's wrong. I can feel it. The air’s too cold, and I swear I hear footsteps behind me, getting closer... I turn, nothing. My heart’s racing now, but it’s probably nothing, right? It has to be. But why does it feel like someone’s watching me? I stop, try to listen…it’s so quiet. Too quiet. A chill runs down my spine. I should go back, but my legs... they feel heavy. Something's wet on my skin. Did I trip? I don’t remember falling... but-

I search for the stump he advised me to find. I find it and I'm on my knees immediately, finding a latch and lifting it. It's the entrance to a bunker. I climb down, running through the tunnel. That's when I see it. Lifeless eyes staring back into mine. Her eyes. She reaches with death in her grip, reaching for me, to take me like I had her.
Then I wake up.

To Stella,
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I scared you like that, I didn't know you'd run into that old charred house. I'm sorry you're stuck in that place for what I've done.
Mom and Dad don't believe you, but I do. With your terrified face, you relived the horrors you experienced. You described his deranged look, his calloused, crimson-bathed hands. Eyes full of insanity as the knife pierced your hip. Your ear-shattering scream of agony that echoed across the street, one that brought me running to you. The mask you saw was one I saw too.
I hope Dad apologizes.

Entry no. 6 by Gaia
“Help, please, my baby! Hes gone!! � I sob hysterically.
The cops try to reassure me,
“We’ll do our best to find him. Im so sorry. �
I stifle a few sobs, but my eyes go wide open when I see something that looks like a foot popping out of the car trunk.
� im sorry, i have to check something. I’ll be right back �
I go check the car trunk and open it. Inside, is the dead body of my child. I readjust his foot and close the trunk, then I take out my car keys and decide to move my car so that the cops can’t find him.

Title: if we hadn't said the words we said (poem)
how was i to know
one day it would all be gone
blood and rust
debris and dust
from a city once called home
the moonlit sky
stars flickers as someone passes by
throughout the day
everyone breaks
but no one can come home
ghosts of laughter
that no longer comes
no one is here
it all feels numb
through all of my battles
hardship, pain
none of it was worth it in the end
blood runs through the streets
staining them red
what would've happened
if we hadn't said the words we said?

Dark dark monsters
creeping in the shadows
ghosts howling in my ears
now the shadows are stretching their fingers
towards me
i scream
i open my eyes
it's all in my head
the monsters in my mind
it's time for them to come out and play

Entry no.9 by Evangeline Rose
Her short, wavy brown hair tumbled into her ice-blue eyes, and she brushed it away with a flick of her hand. The novel lay open in her lap, pages rustling softly as she turned them, though her fingers soon found their rhythm in the crochet project resting beside her. Now and then, she paused to sip her coffee, savoring its rich warmth as her lips formed the lyrics streaming from her headphones. To a passerby, she might appear scattered, overstimulated even, but she was perfectly calm. In these rare moments, the world fell away, leaving her alone in the serenity of the world she’d quietly crafted.

Hell, Michigan.
Quite like its name, was the place. Especially when All Hallows' Eve approached.
All over the world, children were getting ready for a night of ghostly fun, while this little town stayed grieving, as usual.
They never celebrated this day and feared it, considering the grave deeds of the All Hallows' Slayer.
A little girl, new to the town, urged her friends, "Let's go trick or treating!"
"Don't," they all said, "You don't know what could happen."
Ignoring them, that little girl walked into the night, dressed as a pale little ghost..
Only to become one herself.

Destined to be destroyed,
Built to fall apart,
A beginning sparked by an ending,
Although their time has passed, their eternity has just started,
With every breath they will never take,
With every beat their hearts will never make,
Their echos of unspoken vows still ring through the chapel,
Even though they will never be wed,
This time it’s forever.

Ghosts of the Blood Moon
Under the blood moon’s eerie light, I reign,
A queen of shadows, forged in pain.
My father, a general with mud on his soul,
Died nameless, yet here I stand.
Through haunted nights and wars I bled,
Through battles that scarred the earth and sky.
Ice in my veins, and blood on my crown,
I rose from the ashes as they burned me down.
But tonight, on this haunted, hollowed eve,
I’m haunted by the ghosts I never could leave. I grieve for the man I had to hide.
Power feels hollow when ghosts come to call�
For even the strongest can’t outrun them all.

of course it does, when the writer herself is fire.

Fragments
Fragments. That’s really all that’s left. Bits and pieces of discarded memory. A smile there, a laugh here, a flash of sunlight. My eyes are closed. When I open them, all I see is blackness. I can hear my breath. It’s ragged and quick, and I need water. But when I move to see if I can find some, I find I can’t move at all. My brain is sluggish and slow, and thinking is hard. I try to feel for what’s stopping my movement, and I realize I’ve been bound. That’s when the pain starts. The laughter. My end.

A final goodbye
Upon the tinted forest,
within the layered hurdles of trees.
Bustling forth the thickened smells of moss
Hiding amongst the lingering smell of rotten mushrooms [(With a twisted hint of orange?) ]
Across the deepened lakes of the unknown
And hidden amongst the rocky soars of moles.
Slightly underneath the bubbling fishes,
And withdrawn from the sheath of pure darkness.
