I'm an Outsider in My Own Home

I'm an Outsider in My Own Home

In my spare time, I signed up for a blog under a fake name and wrote random musings no one would ever read. Having all these was enough for me. … Graduation season arrived as scheduled. While everyone else had family to help them move out, I hauled my peeling suitcase and headed straight for the neighborhood slums. The little money I had was only enough for a dark, dank basement. The landlady, Isabella Donati, looked like a sharp-tongued old crone. To save 50 dollars on rent, I took over the snow shoveling and trash removal for the entire run-down apartment building.

Wings of Momentum

Wings of Momentum

The soul inside me gave off a lullaby-sounding hum if any Other were to check. I casually glanced over my shoulder to peek at him. From the side, standing at the counter that was below waist high for him, you could see the tractor frame shoulders. He was dressed casually, so that came as a surprise. Most others tend to dress to the nines when even visiting a pharmacy. I quickly wondered if his lack of joining a pack had something to do with it. Without a pack or a place to belong, some Others tend to swim and look like the normal dredges of human society. Unfortunately, a financial constitution doesn’t extend to those who don’t cater within the walls.

Sun's Long Journey

Sun's Long Journey

No one, outside of his mother, had ever smiled at him with such tenderness. "U-uhm ..." he stammered, biting his lip. The minstrel tilted his head slightly, peering intently at the child. Olive skin and bright green eyes. Loose, rumpled clothes, presumably not his, too big for his slim physique. Tousled hair, of someone who has just woken up, a very dark brown compared to that of all the other Outsiders he had met. The man widened his smile, somewhat pleased, as a quick thought flashed through his head.

The Outcast's Rejection

The Outcast's Rejection

One minute, he was my tormentor, the next, my shadow. When we reached the outskirts of the forest, my stomach dropped. Bad luck must have been written all over me tonight because standing there, leaning against a rusted lamppost, was the last person I wanted to see—Jonan and his gang of pricks. “Well, well, look who finally decided to crawl out of the woods.” Jonan grinned, his dark eyes locking onto mine with the same sick amusement I’d grown used to. “What were you doing out there, wolfless? Trying to summon your non-existent wolf?”

The Outcasts

The Outcasts

I suppose given time their colors would possibly show but until then I will attempt to believe that this Cyrus guy was decent. I set my apartment keys on the kitchen table and hoped that Jem wasn’t going to move them by morning. Why was my life so strange and complicated when it came to the paranormal shit? Why did this happen to me? Of all people, why me? I hardly had any friends to really enjoy a decent day with and when I told them about my ability to “See” the other side. They ended up never speaking to me ever again. It hurt but like all other things I moved on. I hated being alone in all this and not having somebody to talk to about these strange and weird situations. To have someone r

I'm Just an Outsider in My Mother's Home

I'm Just an Outsider in My Mother's Home

"Irene! They're our parents! How could you be so cold-blooded now? Even if Mom and Dad were in the wrong, what they did can't possibly be punishable by death, can it? They're your family—" I interrupted him. "You are a family. You all treated me like an outsider and punched and kicked me half to death. Were you thinking of me as a member of your family back then?" Isaac's ragged breathing came through the line, but he said nothing. Finally, he broke down and cried out desperately, "Rene, I was horrible to you back then. I was a terrible bastard! "But Mom and Dad are lying in the hospital now, and Vivian stole all the money and Mom's jewelry in the house and disappeared with them all!

Protected by the Moon Goddess

Protected by the Moon Goddess

The ancient floorboards protest under our combined weight for a moment, then they give way with a terrible crash, and I find myself falling through the air, riding the Outsider down to the ground floor. We land with a thud as dust and debris rain down on us. The impact knocks the breath out of my lungs, and the Outsider is in a better position, rolling over and holding my throat in his hands. In the light streaming in through the open front door, I see his face red with fury and his eyes bloodshot. “Die,” he growls through clenched teeth. I hear another sound. Tiny feet clap-knock-knock down the stairs. A pause as she leaps down

Retribution of the Roar

Retribution of the Roar

His eyes widened at the sight of Zed gripping the head of the ax with his bare hands in a prayer position. ''Zed!'' Ryder stood up and kicked the old man without hesitation with full knowledge that the old man was just a citizen. The ax dropped and Zed winced in pain, holding his hands together to try to slow down the bleeding. People started to gather around and one of them helped the old man stand while he was yelling at them, revealing that Ryder and Zed were actually outsiders. The men responded to his call and formed a ring around them, ready to pulverize them.

Creatures of THE Night

Creatures of THE Night

Goldie hit the ground, the oozing stump of his left leg cut off at the knee, once fluffy tail now docked. "You fucking animal!" He'd shifted back, blood loss weakening him without the influence of a full moon. He looked like the type of man that would try to sell you a used mattress over Craigslist. "What kind of sick bastard loads with pure silver?" The barrel pressed against Blondielock's forehead. In all my twenty-six years of living on this earth, I had never seen the infamous Midnight Cowboy. He was smaller than I expected.

OFFSIDE

Jaxon thought about that. He told Callum about a movie he'd watched three times his freshman year, a quiet film about a man driving across the American southwest after something had ended, nothing dramatic happening in it, just the road and the landscape and the particular quality of someone in between one version of their life and whatever came next. He'd watched it alone in his apartment three times because something in it had reached a feeling he hadn't had language for at eighteen, which was the feeling of being in a life that had been arranged for him and not quite knowing where in it he was actually living.

Frequently Asked Questions

The protagonist of 'The Outsider' is Ralph Anderson, a small-town police detective whose life unravels after he arrests a local little league coach, Terry Maitland, for the brutal murder of a child. Ralph is a methodical, by-the-book cop who prides himself on evidence—until Terry’s airtight alibi shatters his certainty. The case forces him to confront something beyond logic, dragging him into a nightmare where the rules no longer apply.

What makes Ralph compelling isn’t just his dogged pursuit of truth, but his humanity. He’s a family man, grieving his own son’s death, and that loss colors his every move. When the investigation spirals into supernatural horror, his skepticism clashes with visceral fear, making his journey as emotional as it is terrifying. King crafts him as an everyman—flawed, relatable, and utterly gripping when pushed to his limits.
