The Thai-light Zone – Episode 5

And here it is, the grand finale of our week-long journey to the deepest, darkest recesses of the (in)human imagination, and hasn’t it been quite the rollercoaster ride? We’ve dealt with monsters, mummies, ghosts and even – gasp – a shadow! But we’ve all come out the other side safely, sanity intact and even some fragments of fingernails remaining unchewed. Or have we…?

For tonight we take our most terrifying trip yet. In the best tradition of saving the best for last I’ve lined up a final foray into fear so macabre, so menacing that the majority of you will probably run screaming from your monitors before the end. And this time it’s not just because of the grammar! No, this time I’ve unleashed the satanic cerebellum of Pair, a student destined for literary fame if she can only escape the devilish demons haunting her mind.

It’s time to take a dive into the…

Ghost Pond

No… No! I’m not meaning a swimming pool. I mean a *pond*. That… That! In this  school have only one pond. This pond is behind the school. Nobody want to go over there. Why? Because a ghost pond! Some boys want to know about this new and poke to look in a pond. Some of them said I saw long hair of a woman floated on the water or saw a little girl in the student uniform tried to climb out of a pond. “Are you scary?” But some stories are not the truth. My older sister said this story start from…

A little girl played beside this pond but she falled down her wallet… So she poke her face and saw her wallet float on the water. She try to use a rope but it was very short. She must use her body like a rope. Her weight was fat. Oh no! The rope was lack! She falled down to the pond. Nobody know she was die. Her body was rotten and very reek!!! Until now…

Once day a boy, hear this news, and he want to take a ghost photo. After school he took his camare with his body. “I feel hot so much” he said, but he forgot in the moment! He walked to an old pond. So he poke his face and shout! He saw a women face. She was laughing and smiling to him. She pulled his arm but he took camera and took a picture of it.

After everything was quiet and *pond* – ghost still in there… FOREVER!!!

That… That! Yes, that was truly the finest, most flesh-crawling, spine-tingling slice of classic Asian horror I’ve had in a long time. Drowning girls, curious boys, smiling faces, it had it all. And if you don’t believe it, just take a close look in the next pond (or perhaps well) that you come across. Poke your face and peer deep inside. Just don’t come crying to me when something happens…

And that’s your lot. Yes I know it’s hard to believe but our time here has come to an end. You must return to your mediocre everyday existence and try with all your might to pretend nothing has happened. Me, I’ll get back to my usual routine of hiding in your cupboard and spying on you while you sleep. If you hear a rustling sound  in the night don’t worry, it’s just me opening a Kit-Kat. Or it might be a mummy, or a ghost, or Dark Dimond, who knows?

Just pray that when you wake up you’re still safe and sound in your bed and not suddenly transported to…

The Thai-light Zone – Episode 4

Hope yesterday’s frightfest didn’t have you running for  your mummy! Sorry, the depravity of the past few days of stories has left my sense of humour shrivelled up to a husk. A tiny zombie husk. It just limps around in my skull, moaning and occasionally banging into walls, not unlike the students responsible for the entertainment we’re currently enjoying.

Tonight’s treat is served up by Jane, who has  opted for the more traditional ghost story, albeit one with a curiously enigmatic ending. Hang onto your hats ny friends, it’s going to be a bumpy ride as we ascend…

The Ghost Mountain

Once upon a time there was a boy. The boy had a house behind the mountain. It was a bold mountain. He lived with his brother. He never knowed about this mountain. But his brother knowed everything about this. He asked his brother about ghost mountain.

This mountain had a boy died inside. Because the rock fall out of the mountain when he got some vegetables and got some animals. He died to supress. And body was separated.

The body was separated. So he died to scare the people for to know separately. And He approach to scare verey day.

___

Wow. That poor boy, all alone up the mountain. He  must have had a cold or something to have been unable to smell what The Rock was cooking. All he wanted was some food but instead he died – to supress! But to supress what, dear reader? Perhaps we’ll never know.

And that’s only one of the mysteries of ghost mountain. He also died ‘to scare the people to know separately’, indicating some psychotic, Pol Pot-like fear of collective knowledge, possibly induced by traumatic experiences in the hereafter. I could puzzle over this one sentence for days, nay weeks. And what of the capitalised ‘He’ in the final sentence – could it be that God himself has joined this wretched child in his reign of terror?

Okay, I’ll stop here – there’s already enough to keep you up till the small hours, poring over your books of philosophy and straining to glean some inside into the warped machinations of Jane’s brain. It’s certainly been enough for me to cast doubt on all that I thought I knew, all those fundamental assumptions and axioms I held dear.

But for now it’s farewell until next time. I’ll see you tomorrow, I hope, for our final descent into the well of woes that is…

The Thai-light Zone – Episode 3

Did you manage to get any sleep after yesterday’s installment? See any shadows on the wall, hear any wailing and gnashing of teeth? Well at least in that little episode there was no bloodshed, no-one was hurt and we had a relatively happy ending – a safe one at any rate. Not so tonight, far from it…

Tonight we venture into the darkest reaches of Team’s psyche, all the way to the end of the world. Well, not the whole world but certainly the world as we know it. Steel your nerves and prepare for the darkness, the dread that is…

Mummy Monster

Last five thousand years. It had many mummies in the world. The mummy could kill the humen. And then in the world. It had 5 heroes and 5 millions mummies. Heroes were magic. They could use many skill magic.

Heroes met mummies and fight very long times. Heroes were tired. They could kill 3 million mommies. Heroes met the master mommy.

The master mommy was a very strong body. He could kill heroes. And the world didn’t has human. They had only mummies.

—–

Words fail me on this one. I’m normally a fan of apocalyptic fiction, I Am Legend, Lucifer’s Hammer and all that jazz, but this one gave me the cold sweats for a week. “They had only mummies” – has there ever been a more chilling end to a tale? It’s up their with the literary masters, that’s for sure. Anyway by now I’m sure your pulse is pounding, your heart straining to deliver that now ice-cold blood to your trembling fingertips, so I’ll bid you adieu until tomorrow for our penultimate platter of bone-jarring thrills and pant-wetting spills. Sweet dreams…

The Thai-light Zone – Episode 2

So, you’re back for more huh? The epic saga of Joe’s struggle against the volcano Dark Dimond wasn’t enough for you? Well prepare yourselves, because I have at my fingertips a tale of tantalising terror so twisted you’ll be going to sleep with the lights on for months afterwards. From the dark and haunted imagination of the one and only Nan comes a nightmare you’d swear was penned by Beelzebub himself. Strap yourselves in and get ready for…

My word, I’m almost fainting from shock just typing that. The build-up of tension is so rapid and so extreme that you barely have time to breathe before BLAM!, you’re hit square between the eyes by that climax. As I’m sure, at some point, an actress said to a bishop. And those parents? Not believing their child in such a time of peril? They’re monsters, utter monsters.

The Thai-light Zone – Episode 1

I really should have saved this for Hallowe’en but I just couldn’t wait for this series of posts. Last week I had my high school kids try their hands at completely unguided creative writing. The only instruction they received was a short brainstorming session on genres of fiction, which in itself was highly amusing:

“Okay, what kids of stories can we have?”
“Erm, funny?”
“Excellent, we call that ‘comedy’!”
“Horror?”
“Well done, that’s my favourite”
“Erotic?”
“Errrrrrrrm, we’ll maybe leave that for now…”

Anyway the class was hit and miss, some students churning out epics and some barely writing a word. I managed to scan through them and saved some of the horror stories (mistakes, illustrations and all) for this very purpose, a five-day festival of frights and chills, tales which will make your flesh creep and set your teeth on edge. Are you ready for a journey through a world where nothing is as it seems, where demons, vampires and mangled tenses lurk round every corner? Do you, gentle reader, have the stomach for the ghosts, the goblins and the utter disregard  for personal pronouns? If so then follow me to…

The Thai-light Zone!

Our first tale is the heart-stopping story of a young boy and his revenge against the monster which killed his parents. From the pen of Yai I give you:

Joe and dark Dimond

There is one boy. He name is Joe. His parent were killed by the monster 3 year ago. It name is Dark Dimond. Dark Dimond is the king of all monster in the world. Joe sent his e-mail to Dark Dimond. In the e-mail Joe said “Dark Dimond if you don’t scar me you will came to my farm”.

One month later Dark Dimond is came to the farm. Dark Dimond and Joe fought in the farm. Joe kicked Dark Dimond stomush. Dark Dimond  punched Joe face. Joe did a flying kick to Dark Dimond. And than Dark Dimond is died.

All the monsters died when their king died. And the world was very peaceful later. THE END!!!

The end indeed. Looks like Joe triumphed over the monsters and got his revenge. But it’s not the end of our series, oh no. Tune in tomorrow for another terrifying, blood-curdling, bone-chilling episode of…

THE THAI-LIGHT ZONE!
