"The Smell of Filth"

Have you ever smelled something but was unsure about where it was coming from? The horrid stench floods your nostrils and makes you want to vomit. You walk to one side of the room, then the other. You find yourself at a loss. Then you hear the flies buzzing below you. It's coming from the floorboards. A dead body was buried right where you're standing.

Apartments aren't supposed to be in this bad of shape. The paint on the walls are peeling, the ceiling is caving in and cracking in some spots. The linoleum floors look like they hadn't even been swept in decades. They really couldn't have been bothered to clean this place up a little before selling it to me?
I thought about unpacking my boxes, but I wasn't sure I wanted any of my belongings touching such filth. I had to work hard to clean the place up.
Pulling out a broom from my stuff, flies took off flying in all different directions. The scent of the house was musty, like walking in to a used book store, mixed with a public restroom on a hot summer day. There was a little hint of spice in the air as well to make it slightly tolerable.
I tried sweeping away some of the dirt on the floor, only to find that it had settled over the years and was now caked in. I'd have to scrub the hell out of it. I grabbed a sponge and soaked it with some soap and warm water. I got on my knees and began to scrub. As I did, little pieces were coming up, mixing with the foaming water to create some kind of sludge.
As I scrubbed, I could feel that the floor underneath wasn't exactly unscuffed. It wasn't completely smooth, it had something etched into it. I rolled my eyes, of course, why would something like this be out of the question? There wasn't much that surprised me about this apartment anymore. I wouldn't even be surprised if I opened a door to find a wasps nest.
Continuing to scrub, a lot more of the dirt was coming up. I was starting to see the white underneath. I scrubbed and scrubbed for what felt like hours before the entire floor was clean. I grabbed several paper towels to wipe away the sludge to reveal the clean floor beneath. I was proud of my work.
Throwing the paper towels away, the writing etched in the floor was just legible enough to make it out. 'God Forgive Me' was what I saw. It confused me and had my blood run cold. What the hell did this mean? The previous owner must have committed some pretty dangerous acts before leaving this place.
No matter what it meant, it didn't make me any less upset that I had to be the one to uncover it. I knew I had to call up the landlord when the next morning comes.
I was hungry but still hesitant to unpack my belongings, so I decided to call in an order for some food to be delivered. They said it'd be roughly twenty minutes, so I waited. During the wait, I decided to do some more cleaning. After all, what would be the worst that could happen?
I made my way to the bathroom to see how horrible it would be. The place smelled like the pent up gas of a thousand people after the consumption of dangerous burritos. I had to hold my nose to bear the stench. I grabbed some spray from a box and emptied the entire can in the room.
As I attempted to leave, I caught the sight of something mixed in with the dirt on the floor. Was that blood? I followed the slight trail to the cabinet just below the sink. There stood the strongest stench. It the rotting corpse of a human. It looked fresh.

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...
