My Wife's Doppelganger

One time my wife and I were coming back from a dinner night out. When I opened the door of the house, she was sitting at the computer working, as i usually find her when i get home, nothing unusual. Except she was entering the house with me...

Where did All the People Go?

About a year ago, my girlfriend and I went to eat dinner at Chipotles. Its in a smallish shopping area with a burger joint and Pei-Wei neighboring the Chipotle...one of those kind of upper-classy type shopping areas.

Urho Kekkonen National Park

I am from Finland, and that's also where these things I'm about to describe to you happened. This was some years ago (pre-smartphone/GPS era). It was the end of the summer and myself and two friends were on a camping trip way up in the north, in Lapland. The mosquito season was over, and the weather was cooling down in anticipation of the coming fall. The three of us had packed food and gear for a 10 day trek. The car we arrived in had been left at the parking lot of a visitor center - this happened within the premises of the Urho Kekkonen National Park, a 985 sq. mile stretch of wilderness near the Russian border.

Valentine's Day Revenge

I've been with this girl for five years, through most of college. We're both 25 yrs old. We lost our virginity to each other, we've talked about marriage.. even having kids someday. I've had my chances, but never cheated on her. SERIOUSLY. A couple of close calls, but I never pulled the trigger and I'm very proud of it.

Sharp Bend

When I was like 10 or 11 I was going to the beach with my aunt and her friends. There were two cars of us. To get there we had to go through a very large industrial area. We didn't know the direction, so our car was following the other. Suddenly, they did an unexpected turn and so our driver had to take a sharp bend.

They're Coming for You

It started off me waking up in bed during a thunderstorm. As the room illuminated again and again from the flashes of lightning outside I realized that the bed I was laying in wasn't mine. The head of the bed was against the wall the the door was located on, and from my perspective I couldn't tell if it was open or closed.

I'd Like Some Money to Buy Flowers

I was catching a sky-train in one particular city about 15 minutes from where I get off. While I wait there is a woman with glazed eyes asking people for money. She came up to me, stopped briefly, and asked "Excuse me, could you spare some money? My brother is in the hospital and I'd like some money to buy him some flowers."

The Thing That's Inside the Shed

I had just turned 22 and my parents had sold their house and purchased a place out in the country. On the property there was a big shed not far from the house that I decided to turn into my place, now I felt kind of uncomfortable in the shed sometimes but my dog kept me company so it wasn't so bad.

23rd Floor

I work as a security/nighttime attendant at an apartment building. It's 24 stories and one of the oldest buildings in the city.
