《The Midnight Man》Chapter 4 - Downstairs
Advertisement
They all shuffled quickly down the stairs into the living room. It was only 10 past 12.00, so they still had a long time until the game was over.
After chilling in the living room for about an hour, they started to think that this stupid game, really was just a stupid game. The only thing they had experienced in an hour of this game, was the occasional candle going out or flickering. But that was easily explainable. They were about to go upstairs again, when it finally got interesting.
They started hearing faint footsteps around the house, and they started hearing doors creak open and slam closed upstairs. They were all too scared to go up there, so they decided to stay where they were. They were all thinking the same thing: What if this is real, and the midnight man is actually looking for us upstairs.
About half an hour later they noticed something....
"Ummm guys, we did turn off All of the lights in the house, right?" Asked Colby pointing at a light coming from behind the door.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOO!!! WE CANT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON!!!!!" Screamed Sam, panicking. He sprinted to the room and opened the door, to find a light turned on. He walked inside and reached for the switch on the far side of the room.
SLAM!
The door slammed behind him and locked, trapping him inside.
"MY CANDLE! MY CANDLE! HELP! IT WENT OUT! I NEED THE LIGHTER!" Screamed Sam as he pounded hard on the door.
"NO, SAM! WHO HAS THE LIGHTER!?!? KATRINA!?!? JAKE?!?! NO, NO, NO WE NEED THE-"
"COLBY!" Katrina screamed, "CALM DOWN! PANICKING WILL NOT HELP SAM GET OUT OF THERE!"
Sam was now trapped in a small room, with no light and no lighter. The smoke from the extinguished candle filled the room with a familiar but terrifying smell. The gap under the door was too small to pass anything through, and the lighter was outside with Kat, Jake and Colby. Sam thought that he was alone, but he was not. The midnight man had found him, and he was about to find out what really happens when he catches you...

Zeltis
Alexander Kent has many things going for him, but despite all his wonderful qualities, he still finds himself the target of bullies. The harshest of his many critics is the one who worries him the most: his father. A near-tragic accident renders Alex incapacitated. As he hangs on death’s door, he’s visited by the unlikeliest of beings: a demon. Their unfathomable exchange becomes even more troubling when he’s offered a second chance at life… in exchange for use of his body by the devil himself. Alex’s deal with the devil leads him into a hidden supernatural world, rife with mystery, danger, and a convoluted web of the worst the underworld has to offer. Now, he has no memory of his ill-fated deal and is desperate to break free of the hold the Demon King and his minions have on him, but escaping their clutches may prove to be more difficult than any battle he’s ever faced. (Author's note: I've had writers block on this for a while but recently hired a professional editor. I don't think it will be much longer before I have new chapters. A cover is also in discussion. I won't just drop it. Thanks to Papillion for the cover!!!)

Psychotic Death Online
(Side Project for now)In a futuristic alternate reality, the creators of nanotech team up with the VR capsule company to create a capsule where one could stay it in for a year at a time before having to leave. These capsules could be use for rehab and even reconstruction! Eventually, Buzzard, the largest gaming company in the world, created a new VRMMO with 99% realism pending the new capsules, of course the rate dropped to 97% with normal capsules and 90% with the old fashioned visor systems. Unfortunately, the new capsules cost $100,000 and not many people can afford them, either way the new game World of Destiny was a hit with over 110 million subscriptions!Meet our tragic MC Feng Jun, an injured psychopath that simply wants to get his next kill. He has no MO, he doesn't even care if what he kills is an insect let alone a person. He just has to kill every once in awhile to scratch his itch. Up til an injury that left him without a leg, he was able to make do simply killing insects as no one cared and he didn't even have to visit any doctors about it. People just thought he hated bugs! But after his injury he has been suck at his home not being able to do anything! Fortunately he is rich and spends most of his time playing MMOs since normal VRMMOs don't work well with his injury as the realism setting always keeps him with only one leg! But what will he do with a new opportunity to rebuild his leg with nanotech? Knowing he has to spend a year in the game minimum for something like this, he sets a goal to insure he doesn't go crazy (er) without having stuff to kill.This is a VRMMO story where the game is closer to zhan long than royal road with a few twists here and there. The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)
