⚠️ MATURE⚠️ This story contains strong use of language and mature scenes. If you are offended easily do not read. •.• I snuggled into the comfortable warmth of the fluffy pillow as I was eager to go back to sleep. The fan lullabied me into a hazy state. Suddenly, a heavy weight landed on my waist, pulling me from the tired daze. I leaned up in shock as my hands flung forward defensively to push whoever was on me off. With a strong force, my shoulders were shoved backwards and into the mattress. Grunts of struggle filled the room as we fought each other. The offender grabbed my wrists and held them firmly above my head with one strong hand. Sobs of terror escaped from my chest as a thumb caressed my cheek to wipe away the spilled tears. "P-please let go of me," I begged, trembling. "You are so beautiful." A man's voice spoke, his large hand leaving my face and traveling down my body to squeeze my pelvic region. "Stop." I screeched, my demand ricocheting between the four bedroom walls. The man growled darkly. "If you scream again, I will kill you." I nodded keenly in response to show that I would not challenge his threat. His hand slowly freed my mouth, testing if I would disobey him. He reached into his pocket. A knife, zip tie, and a rag were all revealed. The view made me realize that this could be my last chance to get help. If I did not call out right now, he would take me. I would not make it out alive either way. I let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.

Something dark and strange has come to Greenwald. On the biggest night of his young life, Gabriel Brennan is all set to propose to his girlfriend, Adelaide "Alice" Stewart. As they dine, though, something is off, something he can't quite put his finger on. Then, as his girlfriend visits the restroom, another Adelaide, the real one, shows up, without any knowledge of having just been seated across from him. Gabriel grows cold. Who is that, then, in the restroom? Elsewhere, a bright student and promising writer named Alice Gordon begins sensing a sinister presence in her life. As her friend Leighton and her twin brother Adrian struggle to help her, a series of murders breaks out, all involving those in Alice's --- and Gabriel's --- social orbit. The trail of darkness seems to be spiraling around to Alice, focusing on her as the final centerpiece. What's even weirder, there's talk the murderer looks exactly like her.

A mysterious boy who never takes off his jacket. A temple where men talk directly to angels. An extremely boring college economics course. Curiosity gives way to confusion as our nameless, genderless narrator learns the reason behind their classmate's hunched posture and reluctance to remove his coat. In a world where the truth seems divinely ordained, sometimes changing the mind is an even greater task than changing the body. This 5,900-word short story occupies a queer, dreamlike space between fantasy and reality. Featured on the @StoriesUndiscovered "Short & Sweet Reading Treats" list!

Mature 18+ Lucien isn't looking for love, but through a chance encounter, he meets his fated, Jocelyn―or so he thinks. Jocelyn turns out not to be what Lucien believes, and she sets into motion events that threaten his peaceful, secure world, a world where humans and vampires reside together mostly without conflict. Vampires need human blood to survive, and humans supply it willingly in trade. Then Lucien begins to see the seedier side of things. Not all humans are willing to give blood. Sometimes money is not enough as payment. Then, there is human slavery to contend with. Lucien is introduced to beings that he thought only existed in folklore. Then there are the beings that he had never even fathomed. Some of these beings wish him harm, even through no fault of his own. Then the "Seekers" arrive. Is there really a possible cure for vampirism? What is the cost? What are the repercussions? Follow Lucien as he navigates a world that is no longer what he thought. Beings are not what they seem, including those closest to him, and betrayals run deep. Perhaps Lucien is no longer what he seems, either.

I don't know why. Everyone keeps asking, but there's no answer to satisfy them. Maybe there's no answer to satisfy me either. Marked mature for mature themes about fear and death, though there is no sexual content or strong language. Mild violent imagery. Really short story. Will take you five-ten minutes to read.
