Storytime With Psyko

By Carlos Arce

"Storytime with Psyko" is a collection of stories I wrote as a student at Full Sail University. They were written within certain guidelines and prompts given to me. "Harvester" is a tale of suspense. "Tenoch and La Lechusa" is a folktale of tragedy twisted within horror. "Legends of El Mito" is an origin story of superhero youths warped by good old-fashioned vengeance. "My Sister's Keeper" is a classic horror story of angels versus demons. And lastly, "Love Left Unsaid" is my attempt to write a tragic love story.

"Harvester" is a suspense story about a Black Market dealer who is on the verge of being investigated and must find a way to win the game of cat and mouse with the detective.

"Tenoch and La Lechusa" is a cautionary tale of being careful what you wish for. Tenoch is a disfigured orphan who has been cast out by his village, and his cousin tries to show him kindness and be there for him. All Tenoch wants is being normal, and one day he is given that opportunity, but at what cost? Will Tenoch choose his chance at being normal or not? And just what is the price of being normal?

"Legends of El Mito" is an origins/coming of age story of a set of twins who are bullied and want to be accepted. This story is set in the town of El Mito, a small town that does not like outsiders or people who are different due to fear of the prophecy of the Magnificent Twins. What does the prophecy have to do with the twins, and what does it mean for their bullies?

"My Sister's Keeper" is a tale of what siblings will do for each other. Tou is a centuries old demon that loves to feast on lost and forgotten youth's souls. He enjoys the hunt and even tempting young souls to throw away their gift of life and be his. But someone or something has long since been hunting Tou. Could this be the day that Tou's hunt is over, and the tables turned on him?

"Love Left Unsaid", is the tragic tale of young love set during the festivities of Snowmageddon and the last days of winter. Zyanya has finally graduated and is on the verge of adulthood. But she has one thing left, she must confess her love to her crush or lose him forever. To what lengths will she go to make it happen? Will it be enough, or will she be left crying?
