She knew as soon as she woke that today was going to be one of those days. It was late, already half past nine, and her shift would start in fourty-five minutes. Katie groaned, pulling the blankets over her head, wishing she could shield herself from reality with it's downy soft safety. But after a moment, she threw them bac...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: My first love: 2 of 65

To Be Fifteen Again Karie rolled over in bed, the sheets twisting themselves around her, clutching at her like a boa constrictor engaged with its prey. She grunted, kicking, struggling to extract herself from their grip. The covers vanquished, she lay on the bare mattress, wishing she could slay the demons of her thoughts as...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Good-bye: True gardening stories relating to love, life and gardening: 12 of 257

I hated the garden. My father had planted and worked it in our backyard for years, from about the time I was born.

Every few feet hundreds of carrots, onions and horseradish sprouted in ordered lines. ...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Top zombie films of all time and what makes them the best: 4 of 13

So many films have been added to the zombie genre over the years, it's hard to know what's worth watching anymore. They're all full of sluggish, stupid, rotting corpses brought to life.

Entertainment > Movie Genres Pinku eiga: An introduction to Japanese hardcore grindcore: 2 of 5

Pinku Eiga: More than the sum of its (censored) parts. Japan has seen many periods of censorship and resurgence regarding the production of erotica. In the late 1800's, fearing that the European nations it was attempting to emulate would think them "backward," the Japanese government all but banned the subject. It wasn't unt...
Entertainment > Movie Genres America's obsession with slasher films: 7 of 17

Screams rend the night, and splashes of blood, guts, and other grisly substances fly through the twilight air. Faces loom out of the shadows; masked, disfigured, and sometimes terribly alluring. Innocent (and not so innocent) teenagers are torn limb from limb, sliced and diced. Horror washes over the faces of those who watch...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Halloween in 2007: 20 of 48

Janice Marlow didn't think much of Halloween. Walking through the supermarket earlier that day, she scoffed at the multitudes grabbing up over-priced candy and shopping for last minute decorations. 'Go ahead, waste your money so that a bunch of overprivileged brats can rot their teeth out,' she thought, wincing as someone st...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Best horror movies of all time: 22 of 48

The lights must be off. You have to have a blanket or pillow close at hand to hide behind. A drink should be within arm's reach to sooth a throat parched by screaming. And if at all possible, a phone needs to be available for you to call a friend (or the police) at a moment's notice. If, and only if, these prerequisites are ...
