Freaky Finales is a series of fictional shorts. They are in no way a representation of real beliefs or existing religions.
Scare Queen: A woman’s plight for youth
The search for everlasting youth has been written about for centuries. In this one, the answer doesn’t come in the form of the fountain of youth though. The fictional supreme being in this story is unique and represents both the good and evil sides of humanity, offering up temptations and tests, as well as just rewards on either side of the spectrum.
Essentially Broken: A nurse’s curse
This short is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t, fictional story about a nurse gifted with healing hands and how she uses her ability. This one really hits home in the feels department.
No Pest Pesticide: Chemical damage to nature
If you’ve read my work, especially the apocalyptic stories, you know I like to tie them to environmental issues, not necessarily real ones. This short is a look at a fake pesticide destroying the planet.
Mother Knows Best: A Halloween outing gone wrong.
The tension between a mother and her teenage daughter hits extremes in this rebellious tale with a twisted outcome.
Respect: An angel’s fall from Heaven
First I’d like to say this is a fictional world, with a fictional religion and a fictional God, who perhaps isn’t running the whole show.
Xarlapin an emotionless and genderless angel becomes attached to the mortal world and, in particular, a heterosexual woman. Because of those growing feelings, the angel chooses to become a mortal man and remain at her side as a partner.
Yup! It’s a love story.
Bonus:
When Leaves Fall: An emotional journey of cruelty.
Sob!
Sob!
Sob!
Grab the tissues.
This one is my absolute favourite of all the stories I’ve written. I’m not putting any spoilers in here, but if you want an ugly cry, this is the read for you.

Tale of a Body Thief (Rovena Silvex Book 1) by Kristy Centeno
Genre – Fantasy, Supernatural, Occult
Page Count – 441
Cover Designer – Ammonia Book Covers

Her special abilities can save lives, but so can they kill.

Rovena Silvex has hunted and eliminated dozens of demons throughout the ten years since her initiation as a hunter. Possessing supernatural skills only makes her job a lot easier.

When she’s asked to visit the county morgue to look over a deceased victim and find out what demon killed him, the body rising from the dead is the last thing she expects.

Now Rovena is stuck with a walking corpse and no answers as to how he managed to return to the world of the living. However, the victim has changed and the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that what crossed over might not have been the soul of the dead man but something much worse.

Complications arise when her new assignment is targeted by demons hell-bent on making sure he stays dead for good.

Killing demons has always been a piece of cake. Keeping one alive however, is a whole new ballgame for her. If she fails, she risks setting in motion a war between heaven and hell. But if she succeeds, she could trap a powerful Lord in a world he doesn’t belong in, forever.
