Films Are Ephemeral: Review on Mr. Harrigan’s Phone
My favorite thing to do to get in the Halloween spirit is reading Stephen King’s bone-chilling horror stories and watching the film versions. He has always done an incredible job of creating intriguing masterpieces about the psychic battle between good and evil that we all endure.

Early Retirement
Dear Ghost-Of-A-Murder-Victim-That-Hangs-Out-Over-My-Bed, I do hope this letter finds you well as I recognize this my first attempt at correspondence after our last encounter.

Sally: Part Two
Five days before the storm “I think this is the last one I have for you today,” the UPS package handler said as he sat a medium box down next to the door. “Have a nice day.” “Thank you,” Emilee replied. “You too.” Emilee heard some childlike laughter down the block as she carried a ... -
