Fiction
Welcome to Gen's original fiction page! Here, you will find all of her stories from her FictionPress account, where she goes under the name of SugarRayne. From horror to humor to historical, it's all here. Just like in the fanfiction section, all genres are listed alphabetically, with each work in that genre alphabetized. Where the title of a work begins with "The", the next word of the title is used instead.
Horror
"Something was creeping and creeping and waiting to be seen and felt and heard..." - H. P. Lovecraft, "The Colour Out of Space"
- Before the Tattered King (Original DOP - 2/23/15): There are things mankind must not know. Things they shouldn't see. It's always there, Lost Carcosa, waiting beyond the fog, just beyond what's visible. And you just walked too far. Cthulhu Mythos, weird fiction, one-shot in second person. Rated K+ for disturbing imagery. Please support small press by purchasing this story, and many others, in A Terrible Thing from Atlantean Publishing! They are a small UK publisher which specializes in Weird Fiction and Lovecraftian Horror, amongst other things.
- Blurry (Original DOP - 9/29/14): Can you really trust your own two eyes? An original Creepypasta. Rated K+.
Cat's in the Cradle, or The Waking Nightmare (Original DOP - 1/13/08): A young woman named Lauren, who lives alone with her pet cat, Antony, discovers that the real monsters of this world don't hide under the bed. Rated T for Mild Blood and subject matter. - Carousel (Original DOP - 9/1/10): Lon Cheney Sr. once famously said that "There is nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight." Abigail has a terrible fear of clowns, but desperately wants to overcome it. After a chance meeting with a very... strange clown at a carnival, however, Abigail finds herself trapped in a three-ring circus of maddening events - and the clown is the ringmaster. And yes, it really is based on some of my own nightmares. Psychological (?) horror, Short Story. Rated T for intense psychological drama.
- In Hell (Original DOP - 8/20/15): In Hell, everyone looks like this: XD. But what they're not telling you is that you don't arrive there looking like that... Microfic. Rated T for gore and disturbing imagery. Contains Body and Existential Horror. You have been warned.
- The Pipe Room (Original DOP - 3/10/09): A flashfic in which an unnamed protagonist is chased by a strange... something. Then again, it could just be all in his head... Was an entry for an original fiction contest. It unfortunately didn't win - it was beaten out by another very well-written story by only one vote. I still think it's one of my better pieces - for being written at nearly one in the morning, at least. Psychological Horror in the tradition of Lovecraft and Poe, first person. Rated K+.
- Sleep Paralysis (Original DOP - 5/23/13): You ever wonder why sometimes you wake up scared, and you can't move? You don't want to know the reason why. An original Creepypasta. Rated K+.
- The White Hour (Original DOP - 6/5/08): One of my most popular short stories. An average man agrees to take part in a scientific study to earn extra money and instead becomes the subject of a bizarre experiment. Psychological Horror, first-person. Rated T for intense psychological drama and some blood.
Slenderman Mythos and Fear Mythos
Once you know, you will never be safe again.
One little note on this section: this section is mostly for Fear and Slenderman short stories and Creepypastas, but there are many links here that lead to stories that are actually blogs or blogpastas. Because of this, I will warn you only once - any and all stories of that type that I write that get linked here are IN-CHARACTER IN THAT STORY AND ONLY IN THAT STORY. Please do not carry over In-Game behavior to this site, as this site and my blog here, Musings, is Out Of Game and that means that neither the Slenderman nor any other Fears are real around here. If I catch anyone posting in-game anywhere on this site, you will be blocked and your comments will be deleted as spam. In addition, please DO NOT gamejack, that's not fair to me or to any other fans playing. If you want to cross over, connect with, or otherwise use or reference any Fear Mythos or Slenderman Mythos story of mine, blog or otherwise, you're welcome to, but ask me for permission first and give me credit if it's a short story. If you fail to talk with me before doing this or if you post in character here, I will have some very strong words for you once I do get in touch with you. So please, behave appropriately on my website, and we can all get along just fine. Thanks, and happy reading! ^w^

- Aftermath (Original DOP: 3/20/13): But being taken was not the end. Not yet. A short story based upon a Fear Mythos ARG I participated in during March of 2013, and which centers around the protagonist character I played in it. Three-shot, AU (technically), Fear Mythos. Rated T for some language.
- Anna (Original DOP: 1/14/13): "It all started one winter's night in 1995..." A man searching for his daughter, Anna, who is lost in a snowstorm, is he himself found by something... This short Slenderman Creepypasta was written in response to a terrible Creepypasta I once read that delved into Mary-Sue turf, and... I won't even get into it here. One-shot, Creepypasta. Rated K+ for the obvious creepy content. Yes, you are allowed to post this elsewhere as a Creepypasta if you want.
- Between the Party Lines (Original DOP: 7/4/15): Senator Richard S. Pinne is not exactly what you'd call an honest politician, and neither his his good friend Senator Oswald Lynch. However, he does consider himself a religious man... When unwanted information is leaked on his blog and a series of odd accidents befall his friend and himself both, Senator Pinne takes it upon himself to understand what is going on. He's not going to like what he finds. On your knees, War Pig. Blogella using two mixed Fears; read and discover which for yourself. Rated T for gruesome imagery. Start from my link and scroll all the way down for the best reading experience.
- Breaking The Waves (Original DOP: 6/22/13): Micheal Strohde is a shark-watching Floridian who loves life, his girlfriend Mami, and the beach. But when the shark population in and around his home starts to act strangely, he must face an oncoming storm of new danger... Fear Mythos blogpasta using the Convocation. Written for the Fear Mythos Forums' "Shatter The Comfort Zone" competition. Trigger Warnings for discussion of Hurricane Katrina and a depicted panic attack. Rated K+. Start from my link and scroll all the way down for the best reading experience.
- Drywall and Wiring (Original DOP: 8/27/13): A young chemist discovers a door that supposedly leads nowhere... leads somewhere after all. Chirality, confusion, lost in a world that is Empty... Fear Mythos one-shot, Empty City. Rated K+.
- Graham, Positive (Original DOP: 8/14/14): An epidemiologist searches for a cure to a drug-resistant bacterium, and discovers something even more dangerous as a result. Fear Mythos blogpasta using the Plague Doctor in a downplayed manner. For best reading, start from where I've linked and scroll upwards. Rated K+.
- Him (Original DOP: 5/10/13): Eight different protagonists, eight different fates, eight different stories with different themes. But each one has a common thread, for each story tells of a single being, a single stalker that haunts each protagonist, a being that these eight victims refer to simply as, "Him". Eight ways portrayed, and eight ways feared. A short story collection project. This project's rated T collectively speaking for the scary content, and for future content that may become more violent should I add to this.
- Open Season (Original DOP: 10/2/12): Jeremy Anderson, a hunter from Ypsilanti, MI, has a problem. A very tall, thin, and faceless problem. After one too many close scrapes with the entity chasing him, he started running... and hasn't stopped. Sick of running and hiding like an animal, he is willing to take any way out he can find, however improbable. If only things were that easy. Escape is impossible. Fear is unavoidable. The hunt is on. Slenderman Mythos, but not tied to any specific web series or legend. For best reading, start from where I have linked, scroll to the bottom and move upwards, or proceed through the post history on the sidebar. Fictional weblog. Rated T mostly for language and scary content of course, but there is some violence in there too.
- The Hunted: "Open Season" is also available in a text-only, early format on the FictionPress page linked above. Same rating for the same things, but with a few differences from the more polished version...
- I, Slenderman (Original DOP: 10/13/12): There are far stranger things in the forest than you think. Silent, watching things. Dark and slender things. Things as intrigued by you as you are afraid of them. But they have no voice, and thus cannot speak... If they could, though, they might tell you this. A rather... different first-person POV Slenderfic, as you probably have seen from the title. Read if you don't mind a little flexibility to your Creepypasta entities. Very much outside of the Slenderverse, but could feasibly fit anywhere else in the Mythos. One-shot. Rated T for brief strong language and a scene of rather gory violence, as well as general creepiness.
- MachineHead (Original DOP: 10/20/14): The Towerborn had never questioned its role as a cog in the machine of its mechanical master's plans, not until a simple mistake allowed an interloper to decrypt its code. Breathe in. Breathe out. Walk from your machine. A Fear Mythos one-shot inspired by the song "Machine Head" by Bush, Manufactured Newborn and Slenderman. Rated T for a scene of gore.
- Night Class (Original DOP: 6/1/13): Third-Grade teacher Ellen T. Strich has a class of twenty students, with four of those students being a bit unruly. To rectify this, she imposes a list of new rules for the class to curb disruptive behavior. The children are less than enthused. Their shadows, however... Another Fear Mythos blogpasta, this time about the Nightlanders. Written for the Fear Mythos Forums' "Shatter The Comfort Zone" competition. Very short, rated K+ for general creepy Nightlander stuff. Start from my link for the best reading experience.
- Observation (Original DOP: 5/30/13): There are things far more horrific out there than being murdered - such as viewing one, as was the case with the disappearance of conservation biologist Dr. David Kampmueller. All the police officers found of the poor man was an unfinished letter, detailing a horrific murder and an impossible killer, however, no evidence of such a crime was ever found... An attempt to write the goriest Slenderman story I could. One-shot. Rated M for strong gore and violence; probably not a good kid's tale...
- Shelly Loves Succulents! (Original DOP: 5/23/13): She loves succulents, but not creepy-crawlies...My first Fear Mythos blogpasta! Uses the Intrusion. Start from where I linked for the best reading experience.
- Silence (Original DOP: 4/9/13): Noisy, hairless, wide-eyed and tiny-mawed beings, always screeching, always at me. Shut them up. Stop the noise, please, please just stop the noise! He is not the only frightening thing in the world... A slightly different Slenderfic. One-Shot, Rated K.
- Twelve Days (Original DOP: 12/12/13): Here lies the strange tale of Michael Zarkoff, whose wife Andrea has developed a late-stage breast cancer, and not even two weeks before Christmas, too. But that's not the worst of it - you see, Michael is a very anxious man with a few of his own Fears to deal with, Fears stirred up by and attracted to his recent unfortunate circumstances... Fearblog, rated T for language and some grotesque imagery.
Miscellany
All kinds of stories, great and small.
- DarkAge (Original DOP - 12/5/07): A short tale of medieval torture. It is a sad glimpse into the life of a young woman who knew too much and was punished for it. May be slightly NSFW. First-Person, Medieval Low Fantasy, extremely short. Rated T for implied torture.
- The Garden (Original DOP - 4/15/15): Anna was tired of living, but then again, she wasn't really living, was she? Flash Fiction, slice of life. Rated K+ for subject matter.
- For The Honor of Japan (Original DOP - 1/19/08): A Japanese soldier during WWII chronicles the events of the Bataan Death March, in which hundreds of captured American and Filipino soldiers were tortured and forced to walk hundreds of miles. Diary Format, Historical Fiction. Rated T for mild blood and what is technically torture.
- The Miracle Pool (Original DOP - 4/19/08): Kale, a self-titled Wanderer, stumbles upon the Draken, an ancient race of dragons living in the mountains. There, he finds a friend in Isdrae, a young female dragon. But can they stand up to the evil dragons of the Southern desert? High Fantasy. Rated K+ for fantasy violence.
- The Soldier (Original DOP - 12/9/09: A young man in Nazi Germany, faced with the choice of either working for a government he secretly despises or death, chooses the former out of fear for his life... and questions his decision when sent to work at Auschwitz. Historical Fiction. Rated T for controversial subject matter. WARNING: This short story may be considered controversial.
