Spidey Senses

I can't tell you how many times I've seen spiders crawling around in my car while I'm driving...

 Creepy Crawly

The spider rappelled from the sun visor.  Joe nearly swerved off the freeway.  He swiped at the spider, sending it flying into the passenger foot well.
Later, Joe felt something on the back of his hand.  There crouched the spider.  Joe slapped at it, losing control of the car, which careened off the road and came to rest with a thump against a rotting tree trunk.  With little damage to the car Joe felt lucky.  That is until a carpet of spiders poured out of the tree and onto the hood.  And Joe discovered his seatbelt was jammed.

Good, clean horror

Anyone who's ever spent time in a laundromat can probably relate to this one.


The Laundromat

The dryer spun, articles of clothing making brief appearances in the round window before tumbling out of sight. 

The man sat, feet up, balancing on the back legs of the plastic chair, watching his laundry dry.  

Behind him a woman stood, fuming.  The man had removed her still damp clothes from the dryer and replaced them with his own.  

He never saw the machete in the woman’s hand.

The dryer spun, articles of clothing now stained red making brief appearances in the round window before tumbling out of sight, providing occasional glimpses of the man’s wide-eyed severed head.
