The woods are even darker by night than they are by day. Shadows lurk among the trees, waiting for a foolish prey. No light, no peace can be found here, only fear and pain and everlasting darkness. Hellish screams fill the night, and the worst thing is, you are alone.
In these woods there is a house. The house is old, built in the time of the now dead, and left by men to be haunted by the harsh wind, the shadows from the world beyond, and the cold breaths of times long past. You find yourself in front of this house, and the worst thing is, you are alone.
As you enter the building, built of rotting wood and crumbling stone, the chill you feel is not from the cold. The once heavy curtains are now shreds of cloth, the glass windows no longer provide you with glimpses of the outside world, as dust and dirt have spoiled the view. What furniture there is left looks ready to fall apart, and you don't dare touch it, afraid of what evil it will awaken. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
The air you breathe is heavy and thick. It sticks to your lungs and blurs your vision. It makes your mouth feel dry and turns your saliva into slime. It's suffocating, and yet you walk on. The floor you walk on is grey with dust of old times. There where you can spot a rare area of dark wood, it makes you wonder what creatures came here before you to erase the dust once gathered there. Your feet are heavy and slow as you hardly dare to move, afraid of disturbing the shadows and the sleeping evils that dwell there. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
The walls are scratched and marked, and they give you the feeling of following your every move. A hand shaped mark is staring at you, and you realize it's bloody past. Red stains on the lower part of the wall and the floor erase any doubts. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
You find yourself in front of the once grand staircase and see that the lower part is gone, destroyed by some unknown force. Long scratch marks greet you from the walls on the first floor. You walk past the demolished stairs, but not before you catch a glimpse of a shadow disappearing upstairs, around a dark corner. You shiver. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
Now there's a wooden door in front of you. It's slightly ajar, but it's too dark for you to see what's on the other side. You push against the door and it opens further without the slightest sound, something that bothers you in a house this old and decayed. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
There are stairs going down and you descend. There's not a single light to guide you on your way, but you manage not to fall. There's one step that creaks before you reach the bottom, and then you're in a hallway, illuminated only by a lone candle on the floor some thirty feet away from you. You walk towards it, but just as you reach it, all light goes out. And the worst thing is, you are alone.
Frightened, you want to turn back. Go back upstairs, though the door, the rooms, the front door, back into the woods. But there's no way back. You feel hot air against your neck and hear a low, ominous growl. There's no way back. And the worst thing is, you are alone.

Forced to become a Doll - Prologue (Kigurumi)
A girl is sitting alone in her bedroom. The room is dimly lit, the light only coming from the girl’s lamp on her bedside table. A fiberglass face, unmoving with a petite smile. It's beautiful, large brown eyes forever open, never blinking. It’s short brown hair brushed and styled to perfection. An open cardboard box lay below it on the floor in front of the nightstand where the mask is displayed. Inside is a neatly folded flesh coloured skin tight bodysuit, what also lay neatly folded and adjacent to it is a Japanese high school uniform with appropriate shoes underneath it. The girl closed the lid of the box and placed it underneath the drawers where her brushes and make-up are kept. The girl inched herself towards the mask, she slowly caressed it’s cheek with a smirk on her face. “I know it’s been so long. I know you’re itching for me to wear you. You won’t have to wait that much longer as I’ve finally found you a new playmate after all this time.” She giggled to herself, at her own

In the Details (Halloween 2018)
"Oh no."
His hands trembled as he cradled the oversized head, his breath caught frozen in his lungs. Agonising cracks webbed from the corners of her eyes, rather like tears, and the dent in her chin was ringed with a halo of missing paint.
"...N-no..."
He stammered for words, distraught after anticipating this event for so long. A big Halloween party, with all his friends together, and of course this is the one time he forgets to over-cautiously fill her container with bubble wrap. Of course this was the perfect-worst-moment for his precious waifu to suffer such irreparable damage. Somehow, water had spilled inside, and subsequent exposure

Dress Code Pt 2
(And now back to the story! Remember, this is based off of Prinny 77's picture)
Jenny was right about one thing, it was a mostly easy morning. Sandra had a small problem with the phone system at first and ended up transferring a few calls to the wrong people, earning her some strange looks, but she simply smiled at them and they shrugged and returned to their work. At least she hadn’t messed up the call to Paul, who gave her a thumbs up as he picked up the receiver. She felt herself blush and was glad the mask did not show that. As the morning progressed, she began to get more and more used to her new role. When she was not transferrin

This is a wonderfully chilling piece. The repetition of the phrase "and the worst thing is, you are alone" is quite effective in hammering home the main idea of the piece, which is that the reader is all alone with no one available for support. Repeating that phrase over and over again also gives the piece a lilting, hypnotic effect that draws the reader in and beckons the reader to commit him- or herself to the experience.
This piece represents the horror genre well, in my opinion, because it starts off with intensity and continues to build without allowing the reader the chance to relax.This intensity along with the repetition and concise paragraphs hooks the reader, making the story irresistible. I was on the edge of my seat reading it. The descriptive language of the physical reactions to the inside of the house are vivid and right on target. There is just enough information to keep the reader interested but not enough to reveal what is truly taking place within the house.
I find this piece to be well-written because it reflects the reactions of the reader in that particular situation very realistically. It is that reason that it commands a captive audience. The fact that the reader is left hanging in the end without revealing the cause of the growl and hot air adds to the horror and mystery, and it allows the reader to become even more involved by letting his or her imagination run wild with the possibilities; if that had been revealed, it would have undoubtedly detracted from the impact of the poem.
I can't really find anything that needs to be fixed or improved upon, aside from a couple of typos/minor grammatical errors that I stumbled across while reading. All in all, a very well-written and captivating piece. Great job.
