Moldy Frights Week

Hello everyone. 

 

First of all: WOW, ONE OF MY SUBMISSIONS WON THE RUSTY FEARS COMPETITION!!!
 
I can't tell you how happy I am about this, to know that a story I wrote will be produced and voiced by the RQ team? And be featured in The Magnus Archives feed? Unreal.
 
In celebration of this, I will be posting the other three submissions I sent in + another one I unfortunately didn’t manage to send back then (which might be to the benefit of the story, since I needed more than 2500 words for that one haha)

And I figured it would be nice to give it a thematic name, so to follow on the inside joke set up by the RQ some time ago (that persists to this day) I’ve decided to call it Moldy Frights! To be clear, I am in no way associated to Rusty Quill (other than my work that was picked as winner) and this will be my own, personal work.

So in the coming days expect to find some already polished horror stories in this blog. And you won’t have to wait long since I’m posting the first one in an hour!

I hope you all enjoy it and once again thank you to the RQ judging staff for selecting my submission as one of the six winners of their competition. I couldn’t be happier.
Safe travels and take care, my friend.

Steel Steps

One step, two steps. That's how it goes. Three steps, four steps. I can feel the earth packing beneath its feet. Well, I can't literally feel it, but the way it sinks in, the sound of the soil pushing away, then compacting under the mechanical boots. It is difficult not to feel like Booster is an extension of me. The drill Sergeant said, counter intuitively, that it isn't a good idea to imagine your mech as such. “Makes you too careful” he would say, “You have to remember it is just a machine” I can't do that. What's the point of riding a mech to battle if you don't get attached to it? He knew it was a moot point, everyone gets fond of their mech. But I suppose caring for this enormous piece of battle-ready suit, and feeling like it's a part of you, are not the same thing. Still, I enjoy piloting Booster this way. One step, two steps. The plains we're riding through are vast. An extended field of grass, buzzing insects and warm spring sunlight. Lieutenan...

Some scary stories from my hometown.     GERRY: Well, one specifically-     GERALDINE: So, when do we start?!     GERRY: Uh well…statement of Geraldine Napier, on the sightings of a possible lycanthrope around her residence. GERALDINE: A what? Oh, nevermind, keep going.     GERRY: Statement given the 22nd of January, 2009. Recorded by Gerard Delano, archival assistant of The Magnus Institute, London. Statement begins.     GERALDINE: I was having a cup of tea with my friend Marlene. Oh she's the sweetest woman you've ever seen, a heart of gold with an unfortunate bad taste in men. I've only known her for a few years now, but I can tell you, she simply does not know how to choose them! And we call her out on it! Every time she gets her pure little hear...
