The legend of the forest

Last night, I was in the forest for a walk because I wanted to be alone to clear my head. I’m arguing a lot with my parents, and this night we had a huge argument, and in that case I like to go to the forest, nobody ever goes there. Indeed, the legend says that the forest next to my hometown is where werewolves are hiding from the humans when they turn, but who in the 21st century would believe that werewolves really exist.

It must have been midnight when I arrived at the edge of the forest, something makes me feel uncomfortable, but I walked on anyway. The wind whistled between the branches of the big oaks, a light fog covered my shoes, and above my head, the full moon lit up the whole forest. At that moment, I thought that I was being paranoid, so I walked faster. Five minutes later, I heard some noises in the forest, like someone was running or like a beast I didn’t know, after a few second of complete silence, a wolf howl echoed throughout the forest.

I started to breathe faster and faster and repeat to myself that werewolves did not exist, so I ran as fast as possible and when I stopped I was in the middle of the forest, lost. I sat on the ground I closed my eyes, and put my head in my arms. I stayed a long time in that position. I covered my ears to hear as little noise as possible, when at one point, even with my hands over my ears, I heard a growl very close to me. I lifted my head, opened my eyes and in front of me I saw a huge gray and black wolf with a scar next to his eye, who was staring at me.

I got up and ran as fast as possible in the opposite direction without asking a question or looking back, I heard him running faster and faster behind me, I was sure he was going to reach me. I did not lose hope, I saw the edge forest and the sun was rising. It all became silent again, I could no longer hear the wolf behind me. I stopped running and turned around, there was no more wolf, for a second I thought I was dreaming. I quickly went back to reality when I saw a naked body lying on the ground. I walked towards him and when I got to his level, the man full of mud woke up and startled me.

-it’s okay, it’s okay, I said -who are you ? -who are you ?? You mean ! -What are you doing in the forest the night of the full moon ? You’v never heard all the stories about werewolves ? -I was here to clean my mind okay ! And that’s not even your business ! -Go back to your home, and never come back or you will die. I will have warned you ! The man stood up and go back inside the forest, naked. He really thought that he could give me orders ? No way, I will come back for sure.

The Black Cage

The crackling of the leaves, the wind blowing and Mary’s dog’s panting were the forest’s only noise. As usual, Mary walked at the sunset in the middle of the huge trees, covered by brown leaves. In the night, they hid the moonlight and plunged the forest into darkness, but Mary always went home before this. This evening, the sun was almost down and the twilight would quickly take its place, when the small dog suddenly barked. The young lady’s heart leaped in her chest and she dropped its lead by surprise. The tiny Golden Retriever ran away and disappeared in the dark. Mary rushed after him, calling his name. For a long time, she wandered in this wideness, lost and desperate. She could only hear the violent wind that was shaking the leaves and her jerky breathing. Going deeper into this maze, she was more disoriented than ever. The moon slightly enlightened the way trough the leaves, but the shaky woman felt like she could never find her way out, and even less find her precious dog under the black sky.

The Black Cage

Then, she heard a muffled noise, like grunts, a few meters from her. Her heart beating, the young woman slowly got close to the lake, hoping to find her dog leaning over the water. She finally could perceive a dark figure. It looked like a fragile, crouching child. His head moved frantically from top to bottom, from left to right. In the moonlight in this large space, she could not see him properly. “A child?” she thought, worried. Intrigued, she approached even more. Under her feet, leaves and branches were crackling and made the stranger suddenly look up in Mary’s direction. The silhouette slowly stood up, almost hardly. This shadow turned around, still not very visible to Mary.“Hello !” claimed the small stranger with a surprisingly confident voice. “Hi” whispered Mary as an answer. “What are you doing, this late, dear lady?” “I... I was walking my dog but I have lost him... Did you see him, by any chance?” she asked, hesitantly. The man approached her during their conversation. “A dog, you say. Small, blond, with thin short hairs?” “That’s it! Hum... did you see where he has gone?” she asked, hopeful.

The Black Cage

“Oh, he should not be very far from here. You probably should find him quickly” reassured the man. “Thank you... hum, I’m going to continue my research. Thank you for your help.” As she moved forward, she could see that the stranger was motionless. Passing by his side, she felt her hairs bristle on her neck; the mysterious stranger was quite disturbing. Steps further, Mary noticed a bump in the wet floor of the wide forest. The full moon helped her get closer to this weird form on the ground. What she then saw horrified her to the point she could not move anymore. Her chills intensified while she opened her mouth to give a silent cry. On the floor was lying a dog, small, blond, with thin short hairs. His head was facing the completely black sky and his body was oddly placed. All around it, a circle of black blood blended in the ground. However, she could clearly see the gaping hole in her dog’s tummy that she liked to rub so much. “See? You found it, there was no need to worry” Mary stepped forward quickly at this sentence, told by an awful calm voice. The man had gotten closer without her noticing. She turned to him, wide-eyed. She could then clearly see the face of that man that seemed so benevolent. She froze again, suppressing a jolt of disgust.

The Black Cage

However, she could not take her eyes off that creature facing her. He was smiling in an inhuman smirk, almost crooked. She was observing this innocent silhouette that revealed in fact a grayish complexion, pale and lifeless. The only color that seemed to be present on that stony skin was the scarlet blood spread all around his shaky mouth and on his sunken cheeks. He had scars, a lot, and Mary was almost sure to tell his nose was not complete. At the end of his cadaveric arms, two skeletal hands were twitching. Drops of blood beaded from his ten fingers, curved and spread. Barefoot and knees retracted, he looked like a child who was too cold, simply wearing a thin shirt. What terrified Mary was his eyes, his wide eyes, red eyeballs and quavery eyelids. He had not closed his eyes once, as if he did not give Mary a chance to escape. And even if she wanted to, she could not, frozen under the incredibly black and glazed look of this man, if it could be called a man. “The moon is beautiful tonight, don’t you think?”

Léa Cheng

The Black Cage

The broken silence violently startled Mary. She was appalled by this creature’s unconcerned behavior. He was talking to the woman as if she was his friend, as if a dog was not disemboweled at his feet. Mary finally became aware of her dog, stone dead on the ground, and of the quantity of blood on the man in front of her. Her gut full of fear, the heart pounding in her chest, and short of breath, she was trying to step back as quietly as possible while the creature was still delivering his speech about the moon, back to her. Within a reasonable distance from him, she dared to turn her back to him and started to run as she had never done before. Nevertheless, she heard with terror the leaves crackling and steps approaching behind her; heavier, more agile and quicker footsteps. She screamed for the first and the last time when she felt an ice-cold rocky hand grab her neck.

The forest devil (part. 1)

I had been writing in my tiny and dusty room for 2 hours when I heard this dreadful noise coming from outside. This noise sounded like the scream of a fox in danger, there was a huge forest full of animals that surrounded the house therefore I didn’t worry that much. I continued to write the essay I was working on when the nose suddenly resounded again, it was louder and louder, I started to be frightened and I hesitated to call the police but the sound stopped. I took a look through the small window in front of the desk where I was sitting. It was very dark outside, but the full moon illumined the top of the trees. The wind violently blowed the leaves. I didn’t see anything alarming so I went to bed. I slept for 1 hour or maybe more but I was promptly awakened by a slamming door. I understood that someone had just introduced my house while I was the only one with the keys. I first thought that my imagination was playing tricks on me but I heard footsteps approaching. I immediately ran to hide in the closet. I started to feel very anxious in this little space. I felt drops dripping on my forehead. I got goosebumps, which is rare because I am not usually coward. My bedroom door and the floor creaked and I knew that someone was there. I really felt this oppressive presence, the fast beatings of my heart resonated in my ears. I could hear unusual breathings but they weren’t mine. They sounds like the breaths of a terrifying animal. The door of the closet opened but I closed my eyes. Very longue minutes pasted and I thought that I was going to die of fear. ‘Open your eyes !’ shouted the person in front of me, his voice was deep and horrific. I didn’t open them and I stood in silence where I was. ‘Open your eyes or I kill you !’ he said with an even more terrifying voice. I slowly open them, the room was submerged in darkness but I could see his enormous silhouette.

The forest devil (part. 2)

He looked like a centaur, he had the body of a wolf who walked on two legs and had the head of a man. Then he turned on the light. His eyes were bright red, they seemed almost of the same color as burning Hell. I was appalled by his evil stare but I couldn’t stop fixing it. He was covered with silky brown hairs from his feet to his neck. His chest seemed disproportionated compared to the rest of his body. Moreover, it was covered with scars near his heart (well if he had one). His face was very similar to that of the Greek gods. His nose was perfectly straight. His lips were nicely sculpted on his face. He wasn’t repulsive at all and with a strange delight I found him handsome. ‘Who are you ?’ I asked him in a shaky voice. ‘I am the forest devil’ he responded coldly. I didn’t know what he was talking about and didn’t know what to reply. ‘This is my forest and you have nothing to do here.’ said the creature. ‘But I live here.’ I responded anxiously. He fixed me with eyes filled with despise and I apologized even if I didn’t feel guilty. It was my house after all. He approached me. I thought it was the last moment of my life when suddenly we hear the rooster crown. The creature ran to the window, it wasn’t dark anymore. He hid his eyes with his bigs paws and he started to scream in pain. ‘I will come back I promise !’ he tells me. I didn’t know exactly what was going on. While he was still screaming, he started to disappear. And within a few seconds, peace resumed.

The Beast

The night was dark, it was raining heavily. You could hear the raindrops hitting the tiles of the castle. Jack wondered why he chose this castle for the night. It hadn't cost him much, but it seemed like a very unusual place. However, Jack was used to stay in creepy places. Last year, he took a trip to spend a night in some haunted house, but none of them really scared him. But this house gave him chills. First of all, the cat was particularly old but had a point where it became abnormal. It had the beard of an old man which was weird for a cat. So, Jack went to see the owner and asked him:

Saint-Yves Ludovic

The Beast

"Is it normal for your cat to have such a long beard?""Yes", he responded, "it is". He has a very rare disease that causes an overdevelopment of the cat's whiskers. "Okay, I didn't know about it at all." "If you have any further questions I am at your disposal." Jack went back to his room and fell asleep. He woke up later because of the thunderstorm and the sound of lightning.

The Beast

It must have been midnight, or maybe a little more. He then went downstairs to lie on the couch, where the noise was reduced. He saw the cat landing in front of the door. It was behaving strangely; it was watching the lightning with great attention. The room was dreary and the atmosphere became faster than expected gloomy. Suddenly, after a flash of lightning, the cat turned into a wild beast. It had become huge. Its appearance was hideous, it had been stared at by its transformation.

Saint-Yves Ludovic

The Beast

He heard voices telling him "Venit satanas, et comedent anima vestra". He didn't understand this sentence, but he ran straight to the back door and got out of the castle as quickly as possible. He was shocked at what had happened and wondered how such things could happen. He locked himself in the garden until the sun came up. At dawn, he checked to see if the monster was still there, then went up to his room to get his things and ran out of the castle

Saint-Yves Ludovic

I couldn’t stop pondering. How did I ended up here? It was not like I was a girl, alone, frail, in a wood, with some mud to the knees, in the middle of the night. The wind was rumbling. My blood was frozen. I usually was an anxious person so you can guess without a doubt that I was terrified. You are also probably wondering, what I was doing there actually. It was an August Friday night you don’t have to be frightened in a forest by yourself. For sure. Tonight was Mike’s party, which degenerated a little. The chaos of the night happened in two steps. First, I saw Mike, my boyfriend, or well, not anymore, with this other annoying girl that I couldn’t stand, named Sarah who I wasn’t supposed to worry about. Well, I kinda started drinking at this point. But then, it got worse. A whole sport boysband arrived and fucked up the party. People were shouting, the music instantly cut, the lights followed. It wasn’t a wonderful place to be at all; I got scared and left. I took the subway alone by night (which wasn’t such a great idea) and of course there was an electrical problem so they asked us to leave the train. I set up a GPS, but like in a bad movie, I was delighted to find out that my phone died. Now you know how I found myself trapped in a dark forest, with no lights, no help, nobody. Apart from being literally alone, the feeling of loneliness was growing inside me. I was helpless. The deep forest was grounded with a lot of sounds, some creepier than others but I was still standing and progressing between the trees as large as I couldn’t even catch a sight of the sky.

What we call a bad day

I noticed a few pale rocks aligned. It was a totally idiot idea, but I decided to follow these. I certainly walked a lot but the path wasn’t ending. Tiredness was coming faster than I found a solution to my situation. I arrived at a lake and sat, desperate. My fears heightens and a shiver crossed my skin when I saw a few bats above my head. Suddenly, I heard a quick movement soften and fade away into the bush, but when I turned around, there was nothing. After this I decreed that I would try to start a fire. I thought it will reheat my skin, as cold as ice at the moment, from the atmosphere and from fear I guess. But also it would be friendlier and I could see more easily if someone was trying to reach me. During my multiple attempts at standing for a fire, I certainly heard the noises of someone tricking me by running and hiding in my back at least three times. I was praying for this to be my imagination due to my ruff night. I blinked at least 10 times before screaming. A gloomy atmosphere set up while, unfortunately, my foreboding was right. Abruptly a so little witch appeared in front of me, in the darkest night. She was so tiny that I thought she was kinda cute. She wasn’t taller than my calf. A small hooked nose with a small wart. Big and bright eyes. She was wearing a purple and black dress, with tiny witch shoes. The whole outfit seasoned with a little witch hat on her head which was falling a little above her face. In her right hand she was holding a tiny witch broom, in the left hand, a small cauldron. At some point, I even thought she was a toy until she spoke to me.

I immediately felt the regrets of my claims. The cute little witch became a demon. She started jumping everywhere around me and throwing some spells in every direction. She was so vigorous that I couldn’t follow any of her move. She was laughing and her diabolical laugh was spreading all around the wood. Rounds of light appeared around me and probably dazzled at kilometers away. Little witch, so wicked, so quick that I couldn’t even see where she was exactly. And I couldn’t do anything. I was trapped and there were no way out of this trick. Upon the charming, and sweet little creature who seemed breakable if you play bluntly with, she actually was everything you cannot imagine, nothing alike my naive description right before. She became heartless, ruthless, unprejudiced, violent, demoniac. The evil lived in her. All at once, the lights hurried upon me and started to strangle me. I could barely see anything; my breath was halting. When I opened my eyes, I was attached to an old chair. My logical first attempt was screaming, but an adhesive was adorned on my mouth. I tried to analyse where I was. A bulky ominous fire was staring at me as if I was its lunch. The whole place was composed of wood. Spiderweb all around the roof. Chemical material on the right, an impressive cauldron underneath, a green potion with big bubbles in it: that is the moment when I understood I should panic.

The Strange Priest (part 1)

It was half past ten, the rain was deafening. I peered around through the rain, desperately searching for some shelter. I was into the woods for nearly one hour ought to the fact that I had lost my group. In fact, we were supposed to find a red beacon for our orienteering race, but it didn't go as planned. I suddenly saw far away the shadow of a building. It was so far away that I could not tell if it was a mansion or a house, but It did not really matter because I just wanted to be safe and dry. As I was running into the woods, I heard footsteps behind me. I was trembling with fear but could not see anything as it was so dark and foggy. After that, I turned around to check if I was not followed by anything. But in a little tree, I recognized red eyes. I started to scream as loud as I could. There was nobody around that I appeared to be helpless. Moreover, I started to run directly to the shelter as praying the host will be welcoming. At last, I arrived in front of a massive church made of stone. There were massive fences all around the church. The door was so giant that I really felt tiny. Then I started knocking on the door.

The Strange Priest (part 2)

The few minutes, I was waiting for someone to open felt like eternity ought to the wind and the rain. I felt like was alone, so I pushed the door. As I turned my shoulder to see more closely at the place, his eyes were fixated upon me. yet, I could not see him clearly because the place was really dark. still, as the host was approaching me, I stared at the floor, but it was too late, because I was already aware that he was not a priest. Then I saw him in the middle of the church half swamped by the blood.He started to shout at me with a hoarse and deep voice saying: “Who are you? What are you doing here? “When he talked, the lights suddenly turned on as if by magic. The cross above the altar had fallen and was half submerged in blood and the statues had blood running down their faces as if they had been injured. I was so horrified that I could not move anymore. “I am lost, and I need a shelter just for the night. In fact, at sunrise tomorrow I will no longer be here.” I replied. I had been thinking that it did not really matter to him. He started to drag me into a small room behind the altar when suddenly I felt something stabbing me on my head…

The Strange Priest (part 3)

I woke up few days after in a small and empty room. I did not know where I was including how I ended up here. I could hardly believe in my eyes. I was exhausted and starving. The stench of death was all encompassing. Never had I either seen or smelt such things before. This place was freezing, wet and bleak. Indeed, it really looked like a cell. Moreover, there were many cobwebs. Just as I turned around to see where I was, the only thing I saw, was blood. Indeed, I was sitting in a pool of blood. Furthermore, I recognized a golden ring in the left corner of the room, so I supposed that someone was here before me. I became even more terrified because all these foreshowed terrific events. That’s why I screamed to death during several minutes, but I was so lonely that my voice was resounding. Therefore, I heard footsteps coming from the end of the corridor. It thought that the host was a man, but I was wrong. I was really terrified and repulsed by his appearance. The host was a mixture between a man and a creature. He had fangs as well as claws and was hairy. Indeed, he looked like a werewolf. In addition, the latter appeared dressed up of black robe which made him looked even creepier.

Laurane Dequatre

The Strange Priest (part 4)

His robe seemed very old, as if he had been wearing it for ages. In fact, it was the only thing which made human. Moreover, he looked extremely wicked and wild. Therefore, I didn’t know if he spoke the same language that I was or if he would understand me, but I needed to go back home. So, I started to talk to him by saying: “please, please let free me. I would like to go home! I won’ t tell anyone what I saw here but please let me go out! “ But he replied like he didn’t do anything wrong: “why do you want to leave now? Are you not comfortable here? Did I do something wrong?” By saying that, I realized that he didn’t understand that what he was doing was terrifying. “I am not comfortable at all in here. Please let me go. What do you expect from me? «I said.“I don’t understand every person who’s coming here pleases me to go. Nevertheless, I gave them a room to sleep but no one is thrilled about it” he added with a desperate voice. I soon realized that he was not used to have company.

The Strange Priest (part 5)

The only people that he has seen were strangers who were lost and needed shelter like me. “maybe people don’t like being here because it’s isolated and gloomy. Actually, where are the people who were here before me? Who’s ring is it?” I suggested as I was showing him the ring. He didn’t really know” It’s maybe the ginger hair’s lady’s. In fact, all the people are in the room next door.”“are they still alive?” I replied but I didn’t have many hope.“oh, no they are not. But I promise I didn’t do anything.” he said it like if people killed themselves.“so, you didn’t kill them. They died by their own. I don’t believe you at all. There is blood all over the room, you must have done something terrible to them!” I told him that to see what was going to happen to me.Then, the creature became mad and said, “stop asking me tons of questions or you’ll never the sun rise again” and stabbed me again on my head.

The woodland creature (part 1)

My routine was simple, cross Scotland in my horse-drawn carriage and deliver the mail. I really enjoyed my job because it allowed me to discover new landscapes and lands that I hadn't known before. One day my boss gave me a job that he said was important. I had to bring a letter to Glasgow. I had to leave tonight because the letter had to be delivered as soon as possible. This made it more complicated as I have never travelled at night. On long journeys I would stop to sleep. Once my luggage was ready, I took to the road with my two horses.

Léo Fouassin

The woodland creature (part 2)

First of all, the first part of the trip went perfectly. I saluted the people and enjoyed the countryside. Then, night started to fall and it became more difficult to move forward. Only my lantern was lighting the way. It was cold and I felt unsafe in these small paths and woods far from any sign of life. I had a bad feeling. Every sound seemed suspicious and my heart beat faster.

Léo Fouassin

The woodland creature (part 3)

In addition, the thunderstorm rumbled, which made the task harder and increased my anxiety. Suddenly the pounding of the hooves slowed down and the horses came to a stop. Surprised and worried I pulled on the ropes and in front of me I saw a figure crossing the path at high speed with a high-pitched growl that froze my blood. In a fraction of a second my horses started to run and the carriage overturned. After that the horses escaped and I found myself alone in these woods, isolated from any population, in the rain with my lantern as my only means of light. I was terrified and horrified and the image of this creature invaded my mind. It was midnight and I absolutely had to leave this place.

Léo Fouassin

The woodland creature (part 4)

So I went back on my way and a few dozen metres later I saw a kind of pale beast that was eating one of my horses that had run away before. My throat tightened and I was as if paralysed. The light from my lantern attracted the creature and it quickly approached me. It was walking on all fours, with long black hair that was wet from the rain. It had very big brown eyes with a big smile with missing teeth, it was covered with the blood of the horse. She had no fur and her skin was very pale, her appearance was very repulsive. She would come to me and I took a step backwards in reflex and with a sneaky look she asked me "Why are you backing away, are you afraid of me? "What do you want from me?" I replied horrified. "Oh nothing be calm," she laughed. She turned around me and inspected me

Léo Fouassin

The woodland creature (part 5)

I didn't dare to move but I took courage and asked the beast "Let me go, I beg you, I have food further away", pointing at the carriage. It glanced at me slightly and then stared at me for a long moment. Those were the worst seconds of my life. In the distance I heard my second horse running and then the creature turned around and went after it. I made what I thought was the best decision and ran away. I ran for many miles to finally get out of those woods and into someone's house.

The Curious Encounter (1/5)

I live in a house near a forest quite far from the town. On Sunday afternoon, around five o'clock, I decided to take my dog for a walk in the forest so that he could run. It was a rainy day so the paths were muddy and the clouds announced a thunderstorm in the night. In this forest, there was only one path, which was not very well marked, so we had to be careful not to lose track of this. I threw the ball to my dog several times and he always brought it back to me with joy. But the last throw bounced off a tree and the ball was thrown of the path. I then decided to go and get it as I knew where it was supposed to be. I planned to go home afterwards as the thunderstorm was approaching because I didn't want to be under it.

Nina Lorin

The Curious Encounter (2/5)

Unfortunately the ball was not where I had predicted it would be so I went further into the forest to find it, still with my dog. It was starting to get cold and it was getting dark; this why I was not reassured but still not trace of the ball. Therefore, I decided to abandon the search and buy one the next day. Howerver, without paying attention and too focused on finding it, I had gone too deep. The fog only allowed me to see a few meters away and I was beginning to get worried because the path was the only way out of the forest... I backed up hoping to find the path if I kept the trajectory straight. I had already been walking for a few minutes when a suspicious noise caught my attention. I walked towards it. I was surprised when I found but it I was not alone.

Nina Lorin

The Curious Encounter (3/5)

A man-like figure was holding it in its claws. His skin was the same colour as the trees with which he could easily be confused, his feet disproportionate to his legs, as short as a twig, were as big as pot, his bust was leaning to the right, his arms were almost normal except that he had three fingers on his extremity without hands like two pincers. Finally, his face had terrifying red eyes that could not be stared at. His ears were as big as those of an elf and he had only two nostrils to breath. As soon as, I saw him, I shouted a cry. Indeed, stupor and fear overwhelmed me. It was as if I was paralysed and unable to move. "Is it yours ?" he said, handing me the ball. "I...uh...I...yes..." I said more and more worried. "Can I throw it to him ?" he asked.

Nina Lorin

The Curious Encounter (4/5)

"Uh...that is to say that...I was going to go home before the thunderstorm came." "Sure, here." he said again. He was about to give me the ball back when suddenly lightning struck him. The result was immediate : his deep red eyes turned black and empty, his legs stretched out, his head took the shape of an eagle and his fingers became claws. He was even scaried than before. His behaviour changed. He destroyed the ball, killed my dog and tried to catch me, probably to eat me. I got scared and ran straight without looking back despite the rain and the thunderstorm, which was still very intense...

Nina Lorin

The Curious Encounter (5/5)

I felt him, close and at the same far away, he was almost catching me and I could already see myself be eaten, my limbs torn off. Living what seemed to be my last moments, I gattered my strengh so as not to lose the rythm when suddenly the light appeared : the exit. Only a few more meters, a few more seconds, and... phew, my house appeared in front of me like a benediction.

The Detour

My shift at the hospital had been hard and I was so tired that I took the wrong road on the way home. I didn't expect it to be such a narrow one-way street. So I didn’t have any other but to go to the very end. I then started to feel a little bit anxious; first of all because I had never taken this way home before, and secondly because I thought that the construction at the road was really weird and striking. I drove for a long time, I couldn’t say how much when I finally reached the end. However when I arrived I noticed that I didn’t have any gas left and I found myself unable to continue the journey home. On top of that there wasn’t any signal and it was impossible for me to contact anyone. So I got out of the car to find a very black gloomy night which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable and scared. The only light I saw drew me to a huge creepy old house really isolated. Even though I didn’t feel really reassured I decided to get in to ask for help but as soon as I reached the front door, it opened by itself without me even touching it.

Sara Ferguen

I followed the light expecting to find someone but the house was completely empty and I wondered how it was possible that there was a light on in such an isolated and mysterious mansion. As I started to retrace my steps to the car I heard some footsteps approaching and asked “Is there anyone?” but no one responded. I then turned around and right in front of me there was this terrifying creature that was levitating and had a hidden face. I was frightened by the sight even though in reality I couldn’t really see anything beside a black coat and hood that hid its face. The fact that I couldn’t understand what it was exactly made me worry even more. Out of fear I asked with a trembling voice “What are you?” and the figure responded solemnly “What do you think I am?”. “To be completely honest I didn’t even know this kind of creature could exist, are you maybe a vampire?”

Sara Ferguen

after a subtle but mocking laugh the creature answered with disgust “I don’t feed on blood”. So with concern and great fear I said “How do stay alive then?”, “Look me in my eyes and you will understand”. Concerned I did what he said and from the moment I looked in those yellowish eyes I felt a great pressure inside my chest. I couldn’t speak or move but I’m certain that I saw black smoke coming out of me and going inside the creature’s body. I then fell heavily on the ground and the creature approached and kneeled beside me and whispered in my ear “I feed off of people’s biggest fears, now yours are forever mine and so are you.”

The Mad Scientist 1/5

12 Woolver Street, was the address I was given in order to meet the most famous British scientist: Mister Brown. It was around 2 o’clock in the morning the day had not risen yet but the sky was still as dark as it would have been at midnight. I was sitting quietly in the horse drawn carriage, and was looking peacefully through the window, admiring the beauty of the night. I remember taking the path of a small town before sinking into the forest. However, little by little, I started getting colder and colder, all I could see was the woods as far as the eye could see. From that moment, I started to worry, and asked myself a ton of questions. I was wondering, why we were going so far away from the city.

The further we went, the more we were cut off from civilization, and entered an isolated place. When suddenly, the carriage stopped. I had reached my destination. I came down from the latter and stood in front of a massive wooden barn. I felt a tiny facing this colossal place but I took my courage, and knocked at the door. Suddenly I heard a voice shouting “ come in” Therefore, I pushed the door and found myself in front of Mr. Brown. I was so shocked and at a loss for words, by the sight of him. I was standing, facing this man and I couldn’t speak for a moment. I was frightened just by looking him in the eye.

I didn’t expect him to look like this: he was hideous, he didn’t even look human anymore: his eyes were so red and his under eyes so darkened, that you could tell he hadn’t slept for a while, and that he really needed to rest. Furthermore, he was so thin that you could almost see his bones as if he hadn’t eaten for days. And his face was so pale that it looked like he had never been outside. I wondered if he wasn’t sick, or even if he was still alive because it seemed like all signs of life were gone and no longer part of himself. You could obviously see that he was only living for his experiments and no longer for himself.

Suddenly he spoke and said: “ hello Miss Wilson, and welcome to my home! Make yourself at home and it’s a pleasure to have you!” He then, smiled at me, and I immediately felt reassured. “ thanks for your hospitality! It’s an honor to be here“ I responded, and smiled back at him to hide my fear. “ very good! Well, let’s not waste any time. Follow me, I will take you to the experimental room straight away“ I was a bit surprised by his sudden Ness, but followed him eager to discover more about his miracle cure. We finally made our way to his experimental room and he took a vial filled with a viscous liquid and said:

“ this, my dear, is if you mortal serum. Is sip of this and you become eternal“ I looked at him speechless, and stared at the vial for a moment. I couldn’t believe my eyes. This man was a genius. I was so amazed that I forgot any source of anxiety or horror. When I came to my senses I asked him a ton of questions such as whether he had tried it yet? If it was dangerous? And if there were any side effects. But I wasn’t able to finish speaking when he suddenly grabbed my arm strongly and said: “ you will be the first to try“ With a smile that shields in my blood. From that moment, I realized that I had been trapped and deceived by this mad scientist.

The princess was petrified and started to scream as loud as she could, but the witch had cast a spell on the princess, which prevented her from being heard so that no one could find her. Moreover, while the princess was locked up, the witch took on the appearance of the princess. Her goal was to pretend to be the princess and smear the kingdom’s reputation.

She was locked up in a castle guarded by a terrible creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull called a minotaur. Many brave knights had tried to free her, but none had succeeded. She was waiting in the highest dungeon of the castle for her chosen one and the first kiss of this latter However, in this fantasy world there also lived a disgusting ogre. He was fat, ugly, dirty and terrorised the villagers around his mud-filled swamp. This ogre was called Shrek. He lived alone in his hut and felt very comfortable that way. But one day a talking donkey came to his door to hide from its owner who wanted to sell it. Shrek became very angry at this moment because nobody dared to knock on his door. He screamed at the donkey and asked it to leave. After several attempts the donkey gave up and felt very sad. The next day, when Shrek woke up, he saw that his swamp had become clean, the water was clear and the mud had disappeared. This sent Shrek into an uncontrollable rage. The donkey who had spent the night nearby arrived and asked the ogre why he was so angry. He asked him if it was his fault that his swamp had changed. The donkey told him it was not and assumed it could be the king and offered to show Shrek the way to the king. Shrek had no choice, because he did not know where he was. They walked for many hours. Moreover, the donkey talked a lot, which exasperated Shrek and made the journey longer.

When they arrived in town, the guards tried to stop the ogre and the animal, but Shrek was so powerful that he managed to get into the castle and arrived in front of the king. In most cases, the king is addressed with respect and politeness, but Shrek did the opposite and caught the king."Are you the one who cleaned up my swamp?" "The inhabitants were complaining about the smell and my soldiers had to do something about it," he replied. But I can help you if you help me in return," he added. "And how?" asked Shrek. "If you bring me Princess Fiona, I will make sure you get your swamp back the way you had it before.The ogre let go of the king and set off in the direction of that dangerous castle. The donkey insisted on accompanying him and Shrek finally agreed on condition that he did not speak on the journey. Obviously, the donkey could not keep quiet and our two protagonists walked to the princess. The access to the castle was a huge labyrinth. To make it even more difficult, the minotaur had to be beaten. Probably the most complicated thing there is. Our heroes began to wander through the labyrinth. The donkey was talking so much that Shrek couldn't concentrate. He decided to split up, which did not please the donkey at all. Sadly, the donkey continued on his way, talking to himself.

However, the donkey saw the minotaur in the distance, at the end of the corridor. It was big, strong. It had big red eyes and sharp horns. It looked at the donkey and blew air with its nose as if it wanted to kill it. The donkey ran away and the minotaur ran after him. There was a chase through the labyrinth. The donkey panicked and called for help from Shrek. Then what had to happen happened, the path the animal took was a dead end. The minotaur charged towards the donkey and miraculously did not hit the animal. The creature was going so fast that it pierced the wall and was stuck. While the donkey fled, Shrek found his way out and went up the stairs to join Princess Fiona. There she lay asleep on the bed waiting for her knight to come and rescue her. When he reached the top, the ogre wasted no time in waking the princess. Very upset, Fiona was expecting a more romantic encounter, when she saw the ogre's face, she was scared and asked him to leave her alone. Back in the labyrinth to find the way out, they saw the donkey that had gotten lost and went forward to find the prince.

Many hours passed and Shrek began to take an interest in the princess. He had always lived alone in his swamp and began to have feelings for Fiona. He began to fall in love and unintentionally kissed the princess. First she screamed, and her body was covered with a mysterious cloud. Her skin turned green, her face grew, she became an ogress. The princess cried a lot. Moreover, Shrek felt so bad and was even sadder than she was. They went to see the prince anyway, but he was so disgusted to see her like this that he asked his guards to make them leave. The prince refused Shrek's request, which enraged Shrek and grabbed him by the neck. Under pressure he finally agreed to put the mud back in his swamp. The princess went her own way while Shrek and the donkey returned. Shrek was sad and very sorry. Several days later, someone knocked on the door. Shrek stood up, ready to shout. But it turned out that the person behind the door was none other than Fiona. They lived happily ever after

Mad Hatter

As he was sorrowfully walking in circles in his room, the Hatter was fidgeting a small bottle, with a tag on which was written "Drink me”. He was tired of his reality, this colorful world he was living in. So he decided to open the bottle, hoping that he could finally experience something else than his boring routine, and drank the whole liquid. At first, he felt like usual, but then he felt tingles all over his body and started coughing. He saw the room spinning around him and everything looked so tiny; excepted for one door.

Mad Hatter

Behind this door, the Hatter discovered an abandoned building, with broken glasses and graffiti on the walls. The lack of colour in this room made him feel uncomfortable, this dull world was frightening compared to his dreamy dimension. But the redhead wanted to discover something new, so he decided to keep exploring. Everything felt different from his reality; in this place, people were either glancing at each other or staring at a lighted device. Not only the atmosphere felt cold, but also the landscape. There were buildings, as far as eyes could see, all in white, sometimes in black. Only the sky was contrasting with this colorless place, gleaming in a light blue, but no one seemed to bother looking up. People here were mostly dressed with monochrome colours, which contrasted with the Hatter colourful attire.

Mad Hatter

Like a stray dog, he was wandering in the street, lost and exhausted. He was looking for the door he opened a few hours ago but he couldn't seem to find his way back home. He missed his friends, the White Rabbit and the Cheshire cat, and regretted going away without a warning. Right when he thought that it couldn't get worse, he saw a girl, standing all alone, her blond hair flying as she was crying. She was miserable and the Hatter couldn't help but feel bad for this young girl. Her clothes were ruined, the light in her eyes seemed like it disappeared a long time ago.

Mad Hatter

The Hatter felt like he had to help this girl, so he landed her a hand and together they walked towards the door from where he originally arrived.

“This? I don’t know he bumped into me, it's a talking rabbit! What a freak” Her bloody fists attested what she just said. “Who are you? You’re not the Alice I befriended” “It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then” she simply responded. Therefore the Hatter ran away, horrified by the view of his friend lying on the ground, and disillusioned. And they never lived happily ever after

Because of his height, everyone in the village called him «Little Thumb». This family was so poor that the parents didn’t even have enough food to feed their children let alone their pet. They were so desperate that one day, after a long time arguing, they decided to go deep in the forest and abandon both their children and their dog. Little Thumb overheard their conversation and planned on marking the road with white pebbles which he collected at dawn. The following morning, when they finally left, Little Thumb started to leave the pebbles on the ground as planned. Later on, the boys and the dog were abandoned and they found themselves all alone in the forest.

At some point Little Thumb heard something, but couldn’t manage to understand where it came from or from who. As he turned around, with great surprise, he discovered that the dog was able to talk, but it seemed that he was the only one able to understand him while his brothers only heard him bark. Unsure about the situation, while he was calming his brothers and about to tell them of the pebbles, the dog suddenly said: «If you do so, your parents will do it again. It’s not worth it, I can do so much better: help you get rich». Little Thumb was astonished about this offer but finally accepted it. The dog’s plan was for the young boy to fool a cruel ogre who lived alone deep in the forest and to steal his wealth. The details of this plan were the following: When all seven boys would reach the house of the ogre, Little Thumb would put some soothing plants into the ogre’s drink, who would surely end up sleeping. Then he would finally be able to deal with the boots. In fact, not only the ogre’s boots were enchanted and enabled him to run faster, they were also the equivalent of the beast’s heart.
