In 1890, my great-grandmother Takoda was only a child when her ancestors told her stories while they huddled around the campfire with handmade blankets from buffalo hide. Later, she told my mother the same stories about humans who could walk on all fours and pale skins and drink your blood. Nowadays, no one talks about the past, which leads us to believe they are just scary stories the tribe elders tell for fun or to put fear into the youngsters so we won’t enter the woods outside our borders. However, I believe nothing they say. But my grandmother does and never lets my family forget it. I usually get grounded for laughing at her, thinking she’s a crazy old woman.

Leah also gave a look of disapproval. "Callie, I agree with them. I just wasted my time." I got up when I remembered that I was on my way to the garden. "What? Those stories are pretty lame, to begin with." "Not when nana tells them." The kids retorted. Nana arrived soon to tell a different version of the first werewolf that happened in Egypt where people considered shapeshifting a gift and not a curse. I grew up listening to nana's stories, about demon kings and dragon queens and all things fantasy. My all-time favorite was the story of my mother, except for the part where she dies.

With the thought that he was an envoy of the gods or a wizard, Count Walford of Kreg raised him as his own son and named him Nabee de Kreg.After a while Nabee was no different than any other boy, if not for the countless stories he had to tell, and that they became true! The most famous of them is also the only one that was not a prophecy, but only a tale about a distant past. It took place in fields of unimaginable beauty and mountains larger than any on

“You think I am old? Age is just a number. I still believe I am young. You never know, I might even outlive you.” Shiva’s face tensed a little. He looked down, avoiding the old man’s eyes. They stepped out of the store, filled with their own thoughts, and ambled in opposite directions towards their homes. Shiva carried a short-stories collection in his backpack from the shop. Mr. Ben had told him he could take any book from the shop to read. He planned to read it to his sister at night. She loved stories, especially those with happy endings. She loved to imagine herself as a character in those stories and live the happy lives vicariously. This was the only pleasure Shiva could give her – for

The Hanara, the Yokozuna, the Hirotoki, and the Aokami clan all came together to defeat and annihilate the Saberuta clan then they all decided to leave the wetlands, pursued by the orcs. "They migrated to the isle of beasts and even the orcs wouldn't dare follow them there. The isle of the beasts was feared all over Mundillum, the place was feared so much that even the Elves and the Dwarves wouldn't wander near the place because it was home to the most feared monsters ever seen, and chief amongst them were the fire breathing air dragons. What made the dragons so dangerous was their intelligence, and this made it so that powerful beings like even the darkened lord himself was unable to tame t

Tim said as he plopped down on the couch in exhaustion. Everyone listened closely as Tim and Tony retold the story. It did seem like a whole big lie at first. Who could really believe a story about a castle with mythical creatures on the doors, and a magic room, and kidnapping and all. It sounded absolutely crazy when they said it all out loud. Even Tim and Tony had to think twice here and there because it sounded so outlandish.

‘They always said it would be a nuclear bomb or an alien attack’ She had mused as she wandered the aisles looking for anything edible, ‘Nobody warned us of the savage beasts living so openly among us’ She had seen the huge Wolves attacking and capturing some of the remaining humans, it had scared her to note that they seemed to know instinctively where to look. She had cried many times watching the hopeless defeated humans being carted off in trucks, for some reason they did not kill those still left alive, yet she remained hidden. On the rare occasions the humans had resisted the huge beasts had torn them apart. She knew now they were not ‘Wolves’ but Werewolves, she had seen them shift bac

She bent down to look Lia right in the eyes when she asked, “Who told you that werewolves aren’t real?” “My teacher did. She tells the red riding hood story different than you do too. It’s a tree cutter that kills the wolf in her story, not a farmer. The wolf had already eaten the little girl and her gran when the tree cutter chops the wolf open and the girl and her sick gran step right out of it and go back home.” “Do you think a little girl would really live if a wolf ate her?” “Well...no. But it’s a story, so it’s pretend.”

Anyway, he kept saying that there are horrible creatures that lurk in the darkness here… While growing up he told me the story of the time when he was ten years old, his dog ran out of his family home—this townhome, the home I’m just about my home until my dad gets out of jail and the social worker says I can go back. He goes on and says that he watched his dog die that night being eaten alive by a wolf-like humanoid that he himself barely made it back home to safety. Then there were these stories of the locals being blood-sucking vampires and all the BS surrounding that subject. Oh and the witches of the forest and the great lake—supposedly they lure pregnant women to their deaths and drown

He said he was going to kill me after fucking me. My mind grew lighter, my thoughts became hazier, and I almost didn’t notice the way his body shifted. Moving away from mine.He removed his hand and backed away.It took me a few seconds to realize that he wasn’t standing on top of me anymore. And then I felt his touch on the insides of my legs.“Tell me, puppy, why do you sleep naked?” His voice was gentle, and so was his touch.“Because it makes your sleep better.”A spank landed on my thigh.“And is good for your skin,” I continued.Spank hit the other one as well.“Now, puppy, tell me again.” He took a break. “But this time without lying.”I grinned. If he wasn’t a fucking killer, we would’ve gott
