Spooky Tales and Scary Things 2

Ghosts. Spooks. Specters.
We've all heard stories of things that bump in the night. Tortured spirits, restless souls. The stories contained in the pages are much like the first Spooky Tales and Scary Things, and that is that they are based on true events.
Spirits in the Attic: A lowly writer must find somewhere to stay for the night after traveling. Is the bed and breakfast he happened upon too good to be true? What tragedies befell this place?
The Fall: Andrew couldn't sleep. He did all that he could. If it was on the market, he tried it. Pills, diets, machinery; nothing did the trick. Nothing, that is, until a chance advertisement about a miracle sleep aid scrolled by his social media news feed. It's worth a shot, right? What could go wrong?
Father Figure: A family is protected by the patriarch of the family. When that member is unable to protect them, who will save them? (Based on a true story from my grandmother)\nThe Frozen Eye: Under the Ice Queen's rule and watchful eye, one young girl must find a way to escape her dystopian hell. Can Alma save herself before it is too late? *As read in the anthology "Once Upon a Dystopia."
In addition to a wonderful true story in the preface, I'm including a bonus story, "Roulette," which was a submission to the Veterans Creative Department, and won first place in the national contest!
