***
01. Incubus
The incubus' eyes glowed red as he surveyed the woman sprawled on the bed. His icy prick penetrated deep. Her eyes flashed open as her legs spread.
"At last you came..." she purred, nails digging in his scaly back.
He screamed as her body's heat melted his tool to water.
***
02. Replacement
Alone in the marital bed he thrust hard into the doll left by his angry wife.
"This is all you need!" she'd hissed as she went back to mother.
A pop. The doll inverted.
He was thrusting out from within.
His screams unheard, sealed into plastic silence, he died.
***
03. Grange
The ghost walked the ghastly grange clanking its rusty chain.
The nun glided her silent way, clammy hands wringing incessantly.
The headless coachman splashed through the puddles splashing silver droplets.
The nameless horror squelched amidst dank cellars bestrewn with mould.
They met and all agreed.
"Foul weather for this season."
***
04. Scan
The new brain scan machine converted thought to speech. The accident victim barely alive, nurtured by equipment, was a suitable case.
The connections made, the technician switched on, adjusted sensitivity. He spoke.
"How are you?"
The loud speaker hissed and crackled.
"Turn it off!" the voice replied.
"Why?"
"I'm already dead..."
