The #howling winds battered the lighthouse, as the ocean spray splashed against the windows. The foundations groaned in the onslaught. The keeper kept his vigil. His light shone brightly and illuminated the rocky coast.
A massive wave crashed against the glass. The light went out.

He staggered, #disoriented, the blood running into his eyes. He had to find somewhere safe. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the footsteps close behind him.
Was that--? He ducked into a storage shed and huddled into a ball at the farthest corner. If he was lucky...

Drusilla had warned her that the rites of Lupercalia were different here in Britain, something about their priests that she wouldn’t or couldn’t articulate. She was curious enough to take to the streets to find them.
She paused, hearing howls and cries from the edge of the village. #VssMystery

They followed Setch into the altar room. The room stank of rotting fruit and blood. The floor has stained dark pools that Soshay wanted to pretend were from animal sacrifice and not the priestesses of Zel. Soshay watched Chacon turn her face from the altar, pale and shaken. #VssMystery

Peripheral spectres influenced by all those haunting melodies?
Damn! more spectral music? who'll catch a spell with these..
..and those? low key? all part of a deadly seduction.
Low key? many were susceptible due to ongoing corruption.

if an evildoer

sometimes

at least that is what

She noticed the house staff's costumes. The exquisite detail, the makeup, hair, clothing...they were perfect.
The butler's grey face resembled an #undead ghoul. It was almost uncanny. She shivered despite herself. They were almost TOO perfect. It was all in fun...wasn't it?

An #unearthly quiet settled over the land, as I approached the tomb at twilight. A red mist came up from the ground around my legs, and he appeared.
And we started to fly, and he whispered, "I'm not the reaper. Come with me and never die!"

The princess's ship never reached port. News trickled in as the wreckage washed along the shore. She and her entire retinue had #drowned when a mysterious explosion ripped through the hold.
The prince sighed in relief. He was a free man. Then he saw her, smiling from the window.

The Explorer Crew watched out the viewport in horror, almost expecting to see ghosts rise from the ruins below them. How could something so awful have happened? An entire civilization driven to extinction, #drowned in its own filth.

I miss
the nights
in my hometown
the #mist from the river
hear Bow's bells
the sound of cars
replaces the sounds of
horse drawn carriages
A history of mystery
a lifetime of horror
but the excitement is lacking
in my life tonight.

Its misty form remained amorphous, but it pulsed with new energy from my blood and life force. It finished consuming the bait and rammed itself at the 13th gate.
I felt the shock as it slammed into the gate. Something was very strange about this ghost. It shouldn't be this powerful. #VssMystery

The #undertow pulled unsuspecting swimmers out to sea. Her feet felt the sandy bottom, then suddenly, it was gone. Panic struck when she realized it. In a flash, she was pulled under.
The Devil's Tide had claimed yet another victim. They never found her body.

The perfect spy. They called him a #shapeshifter, but that was only partially true. He was adapt at changing his look, his manner, his accent. He knew how to talk to people in a way that they told him what he needed to know.
But he couldn't evade detection forever. Someone already knew.

He was a logical, rational man. #Superstitions were the feeble attempts to explain the world. Stories to scare children. Only careful study and tangible evidence satisfied him.
The demons took that as a challenge to break his logical, rational mind.
