"The Gas Mask"

Someone stands before the class, presenting a true life event. What comes out of their mouth may possibly be the most ridiculous work of fiction you'd ever heard. The entire class may burst out in laughter and the teacher may fail the student on the project. No matter how much the student pleas, nobody will believe his story. However, the student will prove its existence. After all, truth is stranger than fiction.

Walking through the doors to school was supposed to be an interesting and somewhat fun day, as it was the first day of school. It was supposed to be a day where kids learn about the classes they're about to spend most of the year in and meet up with friends and seeing what all they did over the summer. It was supposed to be a good day, so why did I feel an incredible sense of unease washing over me?
I sat down at one of the tables in the cafeteria and awaited the arrival of my friends. The first one to come in was Chuck, sporting a leather jacket and long red hair that made me wish my mom would stop cutting mine so short. Following him was my other best friend, Drake. He had his usual long sleeved, tight tan shirt, tagged along with his usual curly hair.
They all sat at the table before me and we began chatting about our summers. I didn't really have anything exciting to share, as I mainly stayed home a majority of the time. Everyone else went to amusement parks or visited relatives for a few days. Either way, our summers were full of lack luster excitement.
The bell rang and it was time for our classes to begin. We all walked together to our first period class, as we all had the same one. After walking through the door, we were lucky enough to find a cluster of empty seats so that we could all sit together. We chatted amongst ourselves until a new kid walked through the door, sporting an old fashioned gas mask. My friends and I got a good laugh out of it before he decided to sit near us. 
Not too long after, the bell rang again and class started. The teacher stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She stood behind her desk and did rollcall. As she was doing so, we tried talking to the new kid. He was a weirdo after all. We would laugh at anything he said. Eventually, we asked him about the lame mask. He replied, saying that the mask could not be removed, it was a part of his face. Or course, we all got a kick out of that.
After class got out, we invited him to hang out with us after school. He thought we were being friendly with him. In reality we were planning on taking his dumb mask off.

We waited for him for what felt like hours. He said he'd be here any minute, what was the issue?
We heard some rustling behind a bush and got terrified it might be some kind of rabid animal. My mom would kill me if I came home with a bite mark on my arm again. I backed away in fear until I saw the guy with the gas mask coming toward us.
I had my friends grab him and hold him down. They entire time, he kept wriggling and crying out in distress. I began to reach for his mask and run my hands along the sides to find an opening to get the mask off.
It felt as though the mask was a part of the guy's skin, as there was no sign of an opening. What kind of sick game was this kid playing at?
I gripped the breathing apparatus and he cried out in pain, but the screams were muffled by the mask. I began to pull but his screams only got louder.
I dug my fingernails under the part where the mask ends and the breathing apparatus begins. I was ignoring any sound he made at the time, the only thing I'd focus on was getting it off the guy.
I pulled and pulled until it came off. I stared in horror at the opening where his face should have been. It was skin torn to shreds, his teeth all mangled.

01 "A Monstrous Storm"

  The shadows crept in through the window is the dark clouds overtook the mid-afternoon sky. A feeling of dread and hopelessness flooded me, tying my stomach into a knot. Looking at the clouds, I saw a streak of purple lightning streaking across the sky until it crashed down somewhere along the skyline with a thunderous boom, followed shortly by the ground rumbling beneath my feet. It was jarring. what started as a regular summer afternoon was quickly turning into something dreadful. The nearby trees were all swaying lightly in the breeze as rain gradually started pouring down, eventually creating a curtain of turrential downpour that threatened to flood the streets. Another flash of light followed by another thunderous boom forced me to look away from the window. It was becoming far too real for me. The oncoming storm was becoming too much to bear. I walked back into my bedroom and sat in front of my television. There was a news guy standing before a weather map. He was po...

"Hooked"

T he summer can be the perfect time to get away, to unwind while kicking your feet into the cool water while the hot sun is beaming down on you. But what if the bright summer sky was hiding behind it something even darker? I had been waiting for today all week. They'd finally opened the stream up for fishing. I was a little upset at the fact they'd decided to raise prices, but I didn't care, it was a nice day outside and I wasn't about to waste it sitting inside when I could be fishing. With my tacklebox in hand and my fishing pole in the other, I made my way to my truck. I threw everything in the back seat. I was about to head to the driver's seat but hesitated when I thought about bringing my cooler. I had one in the back ready for fish, as well as housing some canisters of worms. But what if I brought one along for some drinks? After a few moments I decided it might not be the greatest idea. It would be too much to carry and I didn't trust anyone that...

"Tapping"

T here are some things we are all afraid of, whether or not we choose to admit it to ourselves. Perhaps you feel that the ocean is a safe place, yet when you arrive you find yourself fearing what may be swimming below you. What brushed up against your leg? Can they feel you trembling? Can they smell your fear? There I lay, in bed in an attempt to fall asleep. My television was sitting at a low volume as to not awaken me by surprise as I drift to sleep. I've had the unpleasant experience before. Tonight, I turned to my side, facing away from the harsh light of the television, yet still able to make out almost perfectly what they were saying. What was on right now was a couple arguing in a sitcom. I didn't care much for what they were saying, but the roar of the laugh track after every line or two was somewhat soothing to me. I was so close to drifting to sleep, when across the room there came a tapping on my window. I sat up and turned toward the window. It was pitch black...
