Free Horror short stories eBook: The Haunted Empath & Milk
Excerpt from THE HAUNTED EMPATH
āWhatās wrong?ā Ruth asked.
Jadeline grabbed her sisterās hand and led her out of the room.
āSomething doesnāt feel right,ā she said before they had even closed the door.
āSomeone else.ā Jadeline tried to compose herself, but the memory of her dream wouldnāt allow her.
āYou didnāt see Grandma?ā
Jadeline shook her head. āIt was someone else. You know how I usually see Grandma and she helps me through this passage of clarity. It makes it easier for the ailments to run through me and transfer it to that other world.ā
āYes, you said you were a conduit to a dimension where diseases are passed on.ā Ruth looked at her quizzically. āWhat was different this time?ā
āThe world around me was dying. It was a dystopian world where there was only hatred and death.ā Jadeline swallowed uncomfortably. Her throat still hurt from the excursion she had gone through. āAnd pain. So much pain.ā
āIf it wasnāt Grandma, who was it? And where was Grandma?ā Ruth looked alarmed.
āSomewhere else. I was somewhere else. That wasnāt my world.ā
Excerpt from MILK
āWhere are Mom and Dad?ā I demanded, again. The sinking feeling in my stomach returned as well. I wanted to run upstairs to look for them but I didnāt want to turn my back at Jenny either. I realized I was afraid of her, though there was no rational explanation for it except what my instincts were telling me.
Her smile dropped and she straightened her head. āTheyāll be back.ā
āBut where are they?ā My voice shook and the amusement in Jennyās green eyes told me she liked it.
āWhere they should be.ā
āJenny, youāre not making much sense.ā I took a step back. My sister looked like a demonic vision with her hair long and let loose. She was wearing a white nightgown and her eyes looked darker than before.
āDo you know why weāre here at Raggers Town?ā Her gaze hardened. āMr And Mrs Fallers told me everything.ā
āWhat did they tell you?ā
āDad had a debt to pay. Mom and Dad stole money. They were on the run.ā Jenny inched closer to me. āThat is why they came here.ā
I stared at my sister, wondering if I should believe her or doubt her mental health.
āIt doesnāt matter. Where are they now?ā
āThey paid the loan. With us.ā Jenny grinned and snorted.
