A Short Scary Story


Drip, drip, drip. I stared at the ceiling wide awake. I knew I shouldn’t have watched that movie with Jasmine. She is such a bad influence but she was my best friend. She was into horror and Gore whereas I was more love and comedy. Drip, drip, drip. That tap was starting to freak me out. I knew it was just a tap but after spending an hour in the dark watching a jumpy movie it freaked me out. What was worse is I was alone. 

My boyfriend, Jason, was still at work and probably wouldn't be back till late. He worked at one of the local shops as a guard until he could find something better. Drip, drip, drip. That tap should have been fixed the other day. Jason said he would get someone to take a look. I knew if I let it carry on I wouldnt sleep all night and I needed to get up early to go to work. With a huff I dragged myself out of bed and made my way to the kitchen. I tightened it as much as I could. As I turned to go back to my room I heard the dripping sound again. Maybe it was the bathroom. I detored to the bathroom, which was just past my room. I tightened the tap and the sound stopped. I nodded to myself and made my way back to the bedroom. 

Drip, drip, drip. I paused halfway down the hall. It was coming from behind me. I sighed but it froze in my throat as I heard the slight shuffle of feet. My body locked with fear as I heard the heavy breathing. It took everything I had to turn sleeping around on my heel to face the shadowy figure at the end of the hall. My breathing stopped all together when I saw the axe in it's hand. The light from my bedroom glinted of the blood soaked weapon as it dripped on my wooden flooring. We stood frozen in time, staring at each other. I couldn't see his face, he was wearing a black ski mask that matched the black outfit. The smell of blood clung to the air, mixing with my fear. Suddenly the figure launched forward. I stumbled backwards, my heel catching on something I fell to the ground with a scream. 

I jolted awake. My brown slick with sweat, my shirt clinging to my back as I panted. My eyes travelled around the room to see nothing. A sigh of relief escaped my lips. It was just a nightmare.

The Simple Lady Upstairs, a short story

The Simple Lady Upstairs Have you ever been guilty of people watching? Imagining what other peoples lives were like compared to yours. I had a habit of that. Guilty as charged. The lady upstairs was particularly interesting to watch. The best and only way I could describe her was simple, or predictable. Her long blonde hair was always straightened to perfection, half of it pulled back from her face with little black clips. She never wore make up but to be honest she was one of those people that didn’t need to. Natural beauty and all that. Her face was a kind of heart shape with two piercing baby blue eyes in the middle of her freckles pale skin. She looked like she was in her late twenties, though she was definitely older. She woke up every morning at 8am, had her usual bowl of granola in her flowery dressing gown and pink fluffy slippers, then would go up to change for work. She always wore some sort of plain pant suit that made her look boring and frumpy. Usually it was her...

Top tips for keto Keto can be a hard diet to begin with but it does get easier. If you are thinking of giving it a go I have some handy tips as well as some examples of foods you can and can't eat The keto diet is basically trying to get your body into a state of ketosis. This is where the body starts to break down fats and use them as energy to replace the carbs that you aren't putting into your body.  This is a simple dietary breakdown, as you can see you can still have carbs but keep it low. I do 25g of carbs a day which is slightly higher than the strict keto diet but I still loose the weight but gradually instead of all at once.  These are some of the food you can have. Obviously there are more and if you are in doubt then definitely Google it. There is so much information online, I will post some helpful sites later on.  The keto diet can be successful for you but make sure you do your research and t...

Keto

How keto changed my life I have struggled with my weight all my life. Always being that chubby girl who hid herself in baggy clothes and didn't really go out a lot. I had done so many diets from slimfast to the military diet, yet they never really seemed to work.  When I first got with my boyfriend I had been a steady weight but you know how it goes. You get into a relationship and you get comfortable. We ate out a lot and snacked too. It didn't help that we both worked at McDonalds so not only were we around food all the time but also our shift patterns meant we would eat at strange times. We finally bought a house together April 2019. We were so happy but we both struggled with our weight. Just before new years eve he came to me and said that he wanted to try this new diet called keto. I personally had never heard of it but after some research I decided as the loving girlfriend I am, that I would do it with him.  We started our diet on 1/1/20 and have never ...
