You Should have believed me by Mark Antony Raines

                            YOU SHOULD HAVE BELIEVED  ME                                                  Y eah right so your telling me that werewolves are real , who are you  kidding says Jim a student at the university ;usual looking student glasses long hair; a   bit of a facial hair attempting to look like a full grown version but failing badly on that  front. Well every myth has a hint of truth you know people who are born with excessive hair it's called Hypertrichosis is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body.The two distinct types of Hypertrichosis are generalized Hypertrichosis which occurs over the entire body and localized Hypertrichosis which is restricted to a certain area.Hypertrichosis can be either congenital present at birth or acquired in life.The excess growth of hair occurs in areas of the skin with the exception of the androgen-dependent hair of the pubic area; face  and axillary regions and people are known     to be with a tail on bottom  of the spine. On the outside  replies Mary; jet  black hair; head to  toe  looking  like  a goth.Goth subculture  developed in England  during  the early  1980:s;where  it developed from the audience of gothic rock an offshoot of the post-punk genre; the name  goth subculture derived  directly from the music genre. Jim and Mary continue their lively debate the likely possibilities of real monsters of the  night  .Jim jokes to Mary did you know it's a full moon tonight and that's when things get  weird and the lunatic is more  agiated. Mary quickly replies The term lunatic derives from the Latin word lunaticus which is originally referred to  epilepsy and madness as disease thought  to  be caused by the moon.Jim yes we are eighty percent water and the moon affects the tides so why not us but to change from a human being into werewolf is only in horror stories. Well that's see how scared you get when you get to walk  through  the  local woods your classic scene in the horror genre says Mary making a gesturing wiggle with her finger towards Jim to come into the woods with her.Jim yeah and why s that ;Mary replies  I have a  big surprise  for you.Jim smirked teenage  thoughts  of a bit of a  quickie in the woods sounds ok by him as he sort of fancied Mary anyway.Slowly the couple come upon the woods going into the more deeper end. Mary look s up  at him and asks would  he mind waiting for ten minutes whist I change into something that is a bit more comfortable; your  not  scared of the dark are you.Jim says nervously no; dispite  the fact as a small child he slept a nightlight  on to keep away the monsters under his bed.The full moon in the night sky shines moonlit beams through the leaves ;Jim hears a howl  and growl.In front  of  him  stands a very big jet black haired erect human like wolf with paws and feet with claws ;the beast  leaps  with  its mouth  bearing  cannine  teeth  ,protruding jaw.Jim is about to run but it's too late as the werewolf leaps and it's teeth rip into his throat as Jim tumbles down on the woods floor; flesh  is ripped  from the corpse; bit by bit chewed and eaten even the  bones crunch loudly as devoured. The  sound  echoes in the woods fade into  silence as approaches the sounds of the near by city.Mary calmly buries the remains of skin and hair; bones and flesh of the person once known as Jm.Mary looks down at the grave and remarks you see Jim myths do have some truths you should have believed in them  The End. 

Bandages by Mark Antony Raines

BANDAGES.                                                                                        Oh I have finally discovered the tomb of Queen Enid said Tim to Professor Downes.After three years of intense heat, extreme cold at night and that's not forget the howling sandstorms.Professor Downes agreed and went with Tim to the entrance of the newly formed tomb, the professor looked at the Egyptian inscriptions above and slowly deciphered them on his notepad. This curse whom should desecrate my final resting place will be covered in bandages to be forever by my side in eternal sleep.Tim give the Professor a nervous smile and asked him if this was true, Professor Downes let out a booming hearty laugh  (of course not my dear boy it's just pure bunkum to scare away the grave robbers from taking the treasure that lying around the tomb.At this point Tim interrupted but Professor there is no treasures just a plain stone coffin placed above a rock almost like it was never meant to exist )Professor Downes replies  (hmm I think I know more then you boy ).Yes Queen Enid the high priests have prepared your bandages for mumification as requested and all had  thier  tongues  cut out and hands chopped off so the process can not be repeated.The Professor and Tim slowly and with great effort remove the tombs lid, and to their surprise the mummy of Queen Enid looks like as if it was placed in the tomb yesterday. Suddenly a purple mist is surrounding them both. Both begin to cough and find it difficult to breath, a crushing of bones can be heard as both collapse to the floor entwined with thick white bandages slowly up to the their torsos. A creaking of ribs, screams of dreadful pain, towards the neck the bandages piece their faces towards the eyes. Finally both are  covered in living  bandages :red sickly substance and bits of brain ooze out.Inside the tomb a figure of a woman in regal garments raises up. Queen Enid lives.The End. 

Behind the Mirror by Mark Antony Raines

BEHIND THE MIRROR.                                                                    The  term  mirror  they are referring to what is known as a plane mirror. This  object takes back  the the light that  hits it and reflects it back. Those used for the common  consumer purposes are of this sort. A mirror is essentially a highly reflective surface. The type that people see on walls or in bathrooms are known as back-silvered mirrors. This means that the reflective surface in most modern  ones this is aluminum is viewed through a bubbling but also distorts the image somewhat. Early mirrors were created by simply polishing a suitable substance until it became highly reflective. Examples from the Neolithic era have been discovered made by the the grinding down obsidian rocks and polishing them to an incredible sheen. They have remarkable properties even allowing subtle details to be clearly seen in their reflection. Modern day ones are  made using an entirely different process of  allowing  liquid metals to condense on a sheet of glass can provide a surface far more reflective than anything achieved by polish. I sit in my room surrounded by shelves full of ancient books on the occult. Occult is knowledge  of the hidden or knowledge  of the  paranormal  as opposed to facts and and knowledge  of the measurable usually referred to as science. The  people  or that  must  be kept hidden but the most practicing occultists. It is  physical sciences. The  terms esoteric and arcane can also be used to describe the  occult in addition to their meanings unrelated to the supernatural. Wandering  when will I be finally released from this living hell it  seems so long ago now I ended up in this prison  1886 Karl  Benz patents the first successful gasoline-driven automobile.Charles Martin Hall produced the first samples of the man  made aluminum after  several years of intensive work;he was assisted in this project by his older sister Julia Brainerd Hall.

Saint Valentine officially  Saint Valentine of Rome was  widely regarded 3 rd century  Saint commemorated on February 14 and since the High Middle Ages is associated with a tradition of courtly love.I caught in the corner of my eye a  mirror surrounded by figures of imps, horns; intertwined with  thorns  of roses inside a near by shop.After the i brought i took  it home and take it to give it a good clean whilst  in the  process of giving  it said  clean  it hear  a soft voice inside my brain saying please let me out to  play repeatedly. I  feel an  odd tingling sensation all over my body, it must be my imagination or tiredness.The mirror is all shiny looking new and showing its best features .I shall  hang it  on the wall so my beloved wife Enid will get a surprise on her return from seeing her mother who was ill with the flu.As I place the mirror on the wall.I go to turn away but I find my legs are unable to move; fear and dread enter my head. Suddenly ghostly arms come out of the mirror I am being pulled into the mirror; my skin is tearing off my bones. I  scream to no avail. I am totally pulled inside the  mirror. Sitting on a chair is a humanoid like creature smiling at me it opens its mouth I can go out to play now; the creature puts on my shedded skin walks towards me and places piece of cracked glass in my blood soaked  tendon  in my  hand. I remain unable to move before Igo says the creature whom looks at me straight in the  eyes . I would like to thank you for releasing my enchanted my enchanted mirror it be your turn soon one day.So here I am  waiting for  my turn to  come out  and  play.     The  End. 

Fashion by Mark Antony Raines

FASHION                                                                                                         Fashion is a popular style especially in clothing; footwear, lifestyle; accessories; make up, hairstyle and the body. Fashion is distinctive and often constant trend in the style in which people present themselves. A fashion can become a prevailing style in behaviour or manifest the newest creations of designers ;technologists; engineers and  design managers. Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy-dress or masquerade wear while the word fashion often refers to clothing including the study of clothing. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine some trends are androgynous. High-flying trendsetters in fashion can aspire to the label haute couture but if you  disapproves of fashion one can attempt to dismiss it as a mere fad  .Mr Ghostly your slot is next for your collection in five minutes.I have dreamed of this day for so long I finally be recognised in the world of  fashion after years of ridicule from my peers; it's great to know their be be at my show tonight.

The changes that have more related to mass customization of tailored garments. There are still Master Tailors working today in Savile Row London and other major cities around the world who continue the traditional approach to tailoring methods and skills. It is world that the cutter may well advise the customer on their choice of cloth before taking the measurements with a tape measure writing  down the figuration and style details that will form the worksheet for the finished product. The  cutter will meet you  again when the garment is ready for the first fitting. The number of fittings can vary ;until relatively  late in the twentieth century. The  cutter fits the  garment making adjustments using a series of chalk marks as instructions for recutting and for the tailor to follow successful; well  fitting  set of  clothes. The cutter is responsible for producing the pattern then marking and  cutting the fabric; sometimes  an undercutter  (striker ) or apprentice will assist you in this work. The Process  Frist the  the client  is measured to access the figure type. Then a pattern is cut in a card or paper. The  fabric is laid onto the cutting edge of the table and  inspected for any.

Spiders by Mark Antony Raines

Spiders.                                                                                     Through the other eye you can see the shadow s ,from the moonlight 100 if not 1;000 spiders covering the tent.A men leans into me he has dark red inside his black pupils of his eyes.He can feel his breath as he puts his nose to your nose in violation of your personal space he then speaks to you saying (It s all in the diary ) This is want I read when I found a dairy by a previous owner of my new house whilst cleaning out the attic.I sat down to my my chair with a cup of tea and opened up the dairy to read more as it had sparked my interest.(At present I am residing in this house hiding from the spiders whom  are able to feel any vibration so I am keeping as quiet as possible.The spiders primary weapon is it's celicerae a pair of jointed jaws in front of  the mouth.Each jaw has two major parts the Bas al segment  the bulk of the jaw and the sharp fangs inside it.Normally the gang is retracted inside the basal segment,when the spider catches its prey it swings the fangs out into the animals body.The fangs work like a hypodermic needles.They have a small hole in the tip  and a hollow duct inside. The duct leads to a venom gland either inside the basal segment of further back in the cephalothorax .When the spider pieces it's prey neurotoxin is released enough to paralyze or kill it's prey.This makes the prey safe for the spider to eat.Imagine hundreds attacking human beings and all you see for days on end are mummified remains it enough to question your sanity.We were told by the cryptozoologist around the world about these spiders but we ignore them as we believe it was just rambling s of madmen.Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience and subculture that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record, such as Bigfoot, the chupacabra, or Mokele-mbembe. Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids, a term coined by the subculture. Because it does not follow the scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by the academic world: it is neither a branch of zoology nor folkloristics. It was originally founded in the 1950s by zoologists Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan T. Sanderson..but ignored by the renowned scientific community whom know reside among the mummified remains unless their were among the lucky ones that escaped,who like myself were scratching a living and only travel by night due to the fact the spiders are sleeping.Due the day you have to keep moving  quietly.I hear them scurrying around inside the walls ,I sealed all the possible places in my current residence of hiding with a mixture of superglue .But it's getting increasingly difficult to keep them out.Suddenly I see one of them dark red ,white eyes the size of a pinhead this is a scout I must kill it before the swarm comes. But it's too late hundred s appear from the tiny cracks in the floorboards I had missed sealing up ,I start to try to run but I can feel hundreds of tiny fangs pierce into my legs,I am doomed the venom has entered my bloodstream I fall to the ground.All that is left is a cadaver to be mummified for storage and be eaten later by the spiders.I put the dairy down on the coffee table I look around I am surrounded by hundreds of tiny spiders.The End.                                                                                                                 .                           

Master by Mark Antony Raines

MASTER.                          .                                                    Grandmaster (or Grand Master) and Master are titles used to describe or address some senior or experienced martial artists. Typically these titles are honorary in nature, meaning that they do not confer rank, but rather distinguish the individual as very highly revered in their school, system, or style.The use of "master," "grandmaster," etc. is decided within an individual art or organization. The use may be self assigned; for example having promoted a student to 'teacher' level, or may be assigned by a governing body in arts with a more formalised structure, and some do not use it at all, for historic reasons or to avoid the 'elderly master' stereotype. I remember how it started fifty years ago when I was an average man until.my life was turned upside down by the.turning of my dear wife into a vampire. I had no choice but to kill her and I managed that through luck of the dawn of the Sun seeping crack of the curtains and I saw how it caused her skin to burn so I run towards them and pulled them open and watched as my wife in fire; it burnt and it peeled away the epidermis the thin outer layer of skin; the dermis began to shrink and splits open and the  fat begins to leak out your already dead at this point.Another cause of death by fire is the thermal decomposition of vital organs or body parts; essentially organs you need in order to live get destroyed by the heat of the flame itself.So the i decided to learn a new deadly but odd named martial art called cartoon occult martial art a combination of the most effective moves in all martial arts and intermixed with the power of occult it took me a decade to get to master then I went on the hunt to destroy the monsters.I have fought many battles against Dracula, werewolf; mummy, Frankenstein and more each were hard fought and I have now facing my most biggest and baddest of them all the one we all face in the end death.; The grim reaper .The battle ensues but the grim reaper is able too become a black shadow and counteract all my moves; breaking my bones; blood pouring from all over my body; he then comes to his true form an eight foot skeleton with a sythe and he then reaches his bony skeletal hand into my chest and pulls out my soul and eats it. The grim reaper looks down on the body of the cadaver that was once the master and gives him a salute and turns to you the reader and says (no one escapes the grim reaper )and laughs a manically laugh as he disappears into the the darkness of the night. The End.
