"Dear God in heaven, thank you!" Adam's relief however was short-lived, for when he glanced over at Janet, who was still searching through the ruins for Michelle's body, he froze in terror. "Dear God, Janet, look behind you!" he yelled. She turned, and let out a piercing scream as she stared at a heap of rubbish that had started to shudder and crumble as something bubbled out from within. It was as if the earth itself had opened up and the huge mound seemed to explode, as bits of scum and liquid bubbled down the sides of it like brown feces oozing from an open sewer. From the foul-smelling decay rose a mammoth insecta. Hideously beautiful, in its full genetic completion, it was the alpha queen, ten feet in length; the ghastly creature crawled out of the rubbish and sprang into flight! Terrifying and obscene, its hairy legs bent and clinging with feces, a huge egg sac hanging from its abdomen, it hovered above Janet, its twin heads and proboscis, throbbing, and poised to drain Janet of her blood. Horror-stricken, she fell to her knees! "Oh my God," she thought. "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Relationship Coaching is the application of coaching to personal and business relationships. While many become motivated to seek help when struggling with their relationships, coaching and relationship coaching are positive, results-oriented professions that help functional people achieve their personal and relationship goals and is not a substitute or replacement for therapy provided by a licensed clinician trained to treat mental, emotional, and psychological disorders.

"Jennifer, what's the matter? Open the door, Jennifer." I was shouting. She tried to crawl out of bed but before she could get herself together the entire bed had begun to rise with her on it. Then with a thunderous crash it shattered on the floor. Her hand fell against something coarse and wet. It felt like hair! No, a face! She grasped the object and brought it up to her eyes, and she froze in terror! Her body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she held Henry Kagan's decapitated head by its blood-soaked hair, his gruesome face with the nose bone collapsed and the cheekbones caved in. His mouth was open, the lower lip stretched below his lower teeth, so the gum showed. He seemed to be laughing at her, spine-chilling laughter as his bulging eyes and rotted flesh began to decompose and turn to maggots in her hand. Jennifer dropped the skull and cried out in terror, feeling as though she were in a nightmare where her legs had become lead and would not allow her to run from this tomb of death. Her heart was pounding as she scrambled out of the wreckage and stumbled to her feet; suddenly William Hurdle's diary flew pass her head and smashed loudly against the door. Grasping the latch Jennifer flung the door open, and the turmoil subsided. Sally and I hurried in then stopped in wonder as Jennifer threw herself into my arms.

A cold Northerly breeze blew bitterly, chilling them to the core, as Meghan and her partner Jason, crept silently. Overhead, dark clouds drifted and blotted out the full moon, casting the cemetery into a murky blackness, yet further on, they could see a storm brewing. Lightning danced in the sky as they hurried along with the desire to read the tombstones that brought them out in the middle of the night. Some of the graves were hundreds of years old.
