Tales of Horror by Ghostman
All of us were getting a bit bored in the summer camp, we had done all the adventures, swam in the lake now it's getting dark we are all in the cabin with midnight snacks and passion for trying to see who come up with the best horror story, the prize being a huge bag of goodies all to yourself.
Jon said he wanted to go first.
Jon (My tale of Horror is called Hot Summer Night)
It was a beautiful hot summer night a boy and girl are laughing and playing in the family pool.
As a dare they decided to strip off their clothes, the boy stands behind the girl with his arms wrapped around her.
He starts to kiss her as their gaze into the star-filled sky.
Suddenly they hear a strange noise coming from the distance, they ignore it at first as the girl turns to kiss the boy her lips touched nothing but thin air as the boy's head was missing when she looked into the pool she screamed at seeing the boy head at the bottom of the pool.
In a panic, she manages to get back inside her parent's house believing it was a haven, standing in the kitchen was her stepdad washing his bloody hands in the sink.
She just screamed and screamed until her head was cut off too.
Mark and Richard both clapped and said loved the tale but it was time for another.
Mark (It's my turn that sees if my story is a bit scarier)
(My tale is called Monster in the closet)
Once upon a time, a little boy was afraid of the dark but his most intense fear was his bedroom closet.
Every night he went to bed he asked his parents to check the closet and each time they're said that no monster living in his closet and was time he grew up.
So being angry that his parents did not believe him he decided to investigate the closet, as he got closer he heard terrible cries and screams then an eerie silence.
Cautiously the boy gingerly and slowly open the closet door, a hairy hand grabbed him and drags inside the closet.
The next morning his parents could not find him and both began to worry, so they too out of curiosity approach the closet door, they opened it to find a pile of mashed-up bones of a small boy, their son.
Richard(Well it's time for the last tale of the night, Called Woman in the Gap)
A college student decides to go visit her friends , when she gets to her friend's home he was under the covers of his covers.
They talked for a while, she was getting worried about her friend's very strange behaviour, as she was about to go he said in an urgent and deadly serious voice.
(You can't go)
(Why not) she replied.
(It won't let you) he said.
She looked around the room but see nothing and wondered about her friend's mental health.
(If you go it will follow and kill you)
She became instantly scared but noticed her friend's eyes looking towards the chest of drawers in the corner of the room, A chill runs down her spine , There in the shadows is a paper-thin creature clutching a pick axe staring back at her.
The police were completely baffled on entering the room after a phone call to find a boy and girl horribly killed by numerous blows of a pick axe.

From Romance to War, Collection of Stories Touches the Heart and Inspires Human Connection
San Francisco, CA, May 2, 2022 ― Known for his mystery and suspense novels, author and photographer Gary E. Smith pivots his creative vision to crafting a compilation of short stories that share universal truths about the human experience in his latest book, A Collection of Short Stories & Poems.
Smith employs a breezy, conversational voice as he covers topics that most folks can connect with. A Collection of Short Stories & Poems includes stories of profound loss. Stories of great friendships. Stories of growing old with a dog, of going to war, and of course, stories of deep, romantic love.
“I hope the stories encourage the reader to do some introspection on what it means to be human,” Smith said. “I believe the poems, like all art, will mean more to some than to others.”
The Independent Press Awards recently recognized A Collection of Short Stories & Poems as a Distinguished Favorite in the Short Stories category.
Author Gary E. Smith’s first romance thriller, The Willing, debuted with a 4.8 stars average rating by independent reviewers who asked for a sequel. He has since written five more novels, including Vengeance Can Be Deadly and Undomesticated: She Had No Remorse.
Smith balances life between business and a love of arts. He founded a small electrical contracting business and grew it into a multimillion-dollar national business. He is also an award-winning fine art photographer. Operating within both business and artistic communities introduces him to a wide array of characters and experiences, from which he draws for his writing. When he is not writing, he travels. Most often, he can be spotted in Italy, searching for more characters and experiences for his stories to come.
