Good morning everybody! Hope everything is going well for you, if not I’ve got some stories to help get you in the Halloween Spirit! I wrote these a few months back for part of my first horror short story and flash fiction collection that I’m still working on. So here are Air Conditioner and five other horror flash fiction stories for you to enjoy!

AIR CONDITIONER
It’s 98 degrees outside. She’s sitting at the bus stop. Purple fingernails, goosebumps, her skin is cold. Like ice. There’s no pulse.
M.U.T.O
Nuclear blast. Fallout. Then they emerged.
PATIENT ZERO
Got sick. World went to shit.
GHOSTLY REVENGE
Murdered and buried. Now haunting killer.
MIMICS
Knocking. That’s all I hear. They’re always trying to get inside. I make sure I keep the door bolted, never wanting them to come in. If they entered, my mind wouldn’t be the same…
Created by your imagination.

Gaze upon the everlasting darkness, be in awe of the multitudes of undead who chase the living on an awkward footing. Be invested in that specific character only to watch them die a horrible death. Cringe at the sounds of stabs, hacking, slashing, witches laughing, zombies moaning, and people screaming, asking for help and calling on God to no avail. Ask the question “Why does the black person always get killed off?” (thankfully that’s changing), Yell passionately at the cast for their stupid, moronic actions. Get angry when that stupid character survives while the smart one does not. Cheer as the remaining few defeat the monster, villain, murderer, or demon, or boo.
It all can be yours for only a big bucket of buttery popcorn, a large drink, and a box of Mike n Ikes or different candy of your choice. To begin, you must locate a TV, laptop, or portable device of your choice and a chair, floor, or other comfortable place to sit or lie down upon. You can participate in this activity alone or with a person or two or more (*HINT*A person or two or more is highly recommended).
The Horror Pack is rated R for reveling in terror, B for bathing in anticipation (and blood), H for high pitched screams, L for lots of laughter, and F for fantastic fun. Recommended viewing times are during the late evening hours when the sun is never visible, the full moon is in full gleam, and where nightmares and unpleasant dreams are waiting to take hold.
