Scary Moments

[EvilTwin]

I don't have any scary moments to share but I always thought a good scary concept is isolation. People are rarely totally alone if you count phones and so on so even usually calm people I know get very easily freaked out when there is no one to come running in a bad situation. May be hard to extend the fear to an audience though? Just a thought.

I've been working on this one!

"What the hell..?"

The power shortage below decks sends Jay and Smith down to the lower decks. The power cut 2 hours ago and half of the men that were supposed to report on the deck hadn't arived. THe halls were bathed in an erie red glow from the emergency lights the metal walls echo with everystep, thunking about through the monsterous metal monster.
Jay stops and whispers "yah hear that?"
Smith leans forward to listen and can hear a soft whooshing sound, like something breathing. Soft spatters and crunches are heard as they continue. Throughout their military carreers have they never been so terrified. The come to an emergency door that shut in case the boat should choose to sink. Jay bends over, pulling out the pin, releasing the door, sliding it upward to reveal the hallway in front of them. Both gasp in pure terror.
A hooded figure is bent over the torn and mangled remains of a private on board, head half whole, half skull, flesh and meat torn away, as other ligamends and body parts litter the hall. The Figure stiffens and rotates, without seeming to touch the floor, revealing a smooth face with glowing yellow eyes, and blood streaming down its face, and released a hissing banshee-scream, its cloak flew open, and shot forward towards the men who shrieked as they raced for their lives.
Jay and Smith were slowing and the ceature gaining, they dashed about corners and up stairwells, untill they reached a security door and cut through a bunk, when Jay shot to the floor, tripping over a pile of clothing. Smith glanced back to see the ceature swoop up Jay and escape backwards, its piercing shrieks mixing with Jays bellowing yells of help..........

Scariest moment EVAR in my life. GOt out of bed to get a drink and saw my little five year old sister just staring at me from sdown the hall with a night light shining on her. I almost screamed, then assisted her to the bathroom.

This is the beginning of a story I was working on. Feel free to use it, just, mention me if you do.

----------------------------

A barren wasteland. The screams of tortured souls could be heard across the blood soaked fields. Death was in the air.
‘horror.’ He thought. Then, blackness.
Sam was dead.

Book I: The beginning of death


Sam Wellstone. Age 24. Strolling to his job. BAM! “What the…” he turned. A fire had started at his workplace. ‘the lab!’ he ran.
‘what’s happening?’ he thought. ”Oh no, the suit!” He went down the hall. BAM! Another explosion. Time was running out.
Sam worked for Nasdaq, a scientific corporation whose goal was to make life better for humans through technology. They believed that technology would save us all. They were wrong.
They were working on a secret project known as T.S.M. or T.ime S.pace M.anipulator. It was a suit that would allow the wearer to time travel and use telekinesis. With this suit, there would be no need for historical museums, historical text books, or even motored transportation! The suit could change the world. If it were to fall into the wrong hands, though, it could bring the end of the world as we know it.
“Where is it?” exclaimed Sam. Running down the hallway, he noticed a blinking, metal object. “What’s this?” He looked at it closer. A bomb. He ducked for cover. A fire exploded into the air above him! He crawled over to a nearby door. There was the suit. It was glowing. Sam went to grab it. He felt heat. Then every thing faded to a bright white. The heat passed over him. He blacked out.
“Where am I?” Sam said as he woke up. He stood up. He almost fell back down when he opened his eyes.
A barren wasteland. The screams of tortured souls could be heard across the blood soaked fields. Death was in the air.
‘horror.’ He thought. Then, blackness.
Sam was dead. Or was he…

Idea:

electrician is mistaken for another person on the most wanted list. the military chases him. he finally confronts the army. he thinks about electricity before they kill him, then he realizes that if he can find an outlet and a base, he can attatch himself to the outlet, slit his hands, and use his blood to electrocute his persuers. he then has turmoil over wether he should use his power for good or bad...(this is the storyline of a song called bloodrocuted, so be careful if you are publishing this)

--------------------------------

intro is about a man with a happy life, great kids... but his job is to search crime scenes.
then the book flips to a man who has just bought some headphones. he tries them on and hears something faintly in the headphones. this surprises him because the headphones are not plugged in. as he uses the headphones, the noise gets louder and louder. eventually, he realizes what the noise is. he dies just as he realizes. the book flips back to the original character. he is going with the police to investigate the crimescene of a man who has died in his house. they search him and find that he has headphones on. the man goes home thinking nothing of it. the story flips to the autoupsy of the man who has just died. the doctor is unable to find the cause of death. he thinks about the headphones, which he has because it was on the dead man's person when he was found. he tries on the headphones. the story flips to the main guy. he is rushing to the hospital. someone has just died. he gets to the hospital to find the doctor who did the autoupsy. he finds the doctor pale, dead, and with a horrible look on his face. the cop starts to link the deaths to the headphones. he puts on one speaker of the headphones. he drops to the floor. the police find him completely insane. they put him in an insane asylum. 20 years later, the man is cured but he is in his mid 50's and completely seperated from his family. he vows to destroy the headphones. he searches the world for them. he finally finds them as an old man in his 90's. he cannot destroy them. accepting his death, he puts on the headphones and as he draws his final breath, he finally understands what the headphones are saying and why. What is it? you decide.

My personal fave is the last one.

Enjoi!
