They called it Jamaican food. They lied. Every bite, every smell, every morsel screamed neglect and disrespect. This isn't food-it's arrogance plated as cuisine. I've had real Haitian food. I know what care, love, and flavor taste like. This? It tastes like death. Like the animal was killed hours ago in someone's backyard and dumped onto a plate with zero respect. The meat is tough. The vegetables limp. The grains bitter. Every bite feels like a crime scene in my mouth. I can smell the indifference. I can feel the negligence clinging to me like a second skin. This story is unapologetic. It's raw. It's chaotic. It's the truth about a plate of food that claimed to be something it's not. I push the plate away, but the disrespect lingers. The energy of this "meal" haunts the table, the restaurant, and me. And I will not hold back. I will not sugarcoat. Life deserves honesty. Flavor deserves reverence. I deserve respect. If you've ever tasted food that insulted your soul, you'll understand this rage. If you've ever been promised culture and received death on a plate, this story is for you. Every word is a punch, every line a reminder to never swallow lies disguised as something real. This isn't just a rant. This is a rebellion. This is truth served raw, unapologetic, and explosive. Warning: This is not for the faint of heart. It's chaos, it's fury, it's honesty. If you can handle the taste of reality, read on.

A chilling collection of tales long forgotten - but never truly dead. Buried beneath time, memory, and silence are stories that refuse to stay gone. In this unnerving anthology by Abby Arce, whispers from the past claw their way back to the surface-through haunted houses, cursed objects, forgotten letters, and memories we swore never happened. Each story unearths a different kind of fear: the dread of being watched, the grief that twists into madness, and the unsettling thought that maybe we've lived these horrors before. Set against the backdrop of the Philippines' hidden corners and shadowed streets, this collection explores psychological and supernatural terror with chilling intimacy. Ghosts don't always wear white. Sometimes, they hide in the people we love... or in the mirror staring back. Are you ready to turn the page on what should have stayed buried?

This short story offers a raw, unfiltered look into the quiet, invisible weight of depression.

Through small, ordinary moments-brushing their teeth, forcing a smile, nodding in the right places-the narrator reveals what it's like to live on autopilot. The exhaustion they carry isn't the kind that sleep can fix; it's the kind that seeps into their bones and makes even breathing feel like effort. This story doesn't romanticize the pain-it sits with it.
