Sup!

I don't know if it's cool to say "sup" still. But, who cares. Sup?

Welcome to my blog! The name's Morgan. I'm a writer, "older" Millennial, crazy cat lady, coffee addict, and a lover of all things Creepy-Cute.

What's Creepy-Cute you ask? Good question.

Creepy-Cute is a style. It's something I've always loved, that I've come to find is an actual thing! Whoot! It's a mash up of totally opposite things- the uncomfortable or unsettling mixed with sugary sweet, jewel toned adorableness.

Do you like skulls and unicorns? Then you may be Creepy-Cute.

Do you long for a Lisa Frank journal, but also like old things with weird vibes? Then you may be Creepy-Cute.

There are degrees to Creepy-Cuteness to be sure. I'm not a goth chic with black chain boots, fish nets, and white powder makeup with a rainbow bow in my hair (though that would be rad). I'm just a girl that lives in the in between. I like creepy stuff and I like cute stuff. I'm weird. If you're weird too, this page is for you.

This blog will be filled with short stories that aren't quite right for a full length novel. Many will be creepy, some will be sweet- others, well . . . you'll just have to see.

From time to time, I'll also be sharing odd things I fall in love with.

I'm glad you're here. Feel free to stay awhile.

The Funeral Home: Part 4- Our Very Own Slimer

I expected hell fire. Or spirits of witches past. Or the room to shake. I expected something big to happen, but nothing did. We sat quietly at Althea’s funeral listening to a priest talk about Althea’s good deeds and her commitment to the holy.  “She was a model of propriety” The priest said. He removed the photo of young Althea holding the “DEATH TO WITCHES” sign. Behind it was a photo of the old woman dressed in a black robe with a white cloth over her hair.  “She was a nun?!” I whispered just low enough for Kyle and Melinda to hear. “Duh” answered Melinda. “You could have mentioned that!” I whispered back. “Seems like an important detail” Kyle chimed in. “My little cuties, you should get out of here.” A now familiar motherly voice said from behind. Directly behind us, sat the ghost from the casket room. She smiled kindly. Kyle, Melinda, and I eyed each other just to confirm we all saw the same thing. The mourners seated around th

The Funeral Home: Part 3- Death to Witches

As my hand hit the child-sized casket, I was transported back to the day I got locked in the basement of the old school. The smell of rotting mushrooms faded and was replaced with a pungent black tea smell- a familiar woodsy odor that stirred instead me. I heard a woman’s voice telling me about Fred . . . the woman that stood outside the old school looking whole and human and alive the day I went to investigate Fred . . . the woman that wasn’t really there. She was the first ghost I'd ever seen and I’d nearly forgotten about her. “What just happened?’ Melinda’s voice echoed. She sounded far away. “They’re gone. The mushrooms are gone.” Kyle said. I could barely hear him. My hand was on my knee, feeling the itchy purple carpet beneath me. The mushrooms and their sticky juice were gone without a trace. My black tights were clean.  “Do you smell tea?” I asked, my hand still planted on the casket. It wasn’t floating anymore. It stood perfectly still, on a sma
