Distortion Stories

SmileLine Toy Works was never just a toy company. It was a system built to understand people. At its peak, it looked perfect. Bright mascots. Music that never stopped. Families returning year after year like something was pulling them back. But the mascots were never just performers. They were watching. Learning. Recording. Every laugh measured. Every hesitation stored. Every person studied. Then something went wrong. Employees vanished but still showed up on schedules. Hallways stopped matching the maps. Children heard voices that weren't part of the show. And after the blackout... the factory didn't feel empty anymore. Years later, Vera returns. The systems are still running. The building reacts to her. The deeper she goes, the more it changes. Because SmileLine didn't shut down. It adapted. And it remembers her.

The sky fell. Not the same way for everyone. When identical copies of people begin appearing at school, Nova and her friends are forced to face a reality where two versions of the same person can exist at once originals and copies, side by side. Some blend in. Some don't. And one of them seems to understand everything a little too well. As tensions rise and relationships begin to shift, Nova finds herself questioning everything and everyone she wouldn't had in her old life before it all started. Because in a world where nothing lines up the way it should even feelings aren't safe from changing, including the the ones between her and a boy she never believed they would have. And this time, the sky didn't just fall. It fell twice.

"You chose him. Now remember why." Rowan doesn't remember what happened that night. Everyone else says he was missing. That he came back different. Quiet. Distant. Like something had been left behind... or taken. But now... it's coming back. A photograph he doesn't remember taking. A message that shouldn't exist. A voice that knows what he forgot. And worse of all? It tells him he made a choice. A choice involving Elias---the one person Rowan has always trusted. The one person he STILL wants to trust... even as reality begins to fracture around them. As memories twist, timelines blur, and something unseen watches from just beyond reach, Rowan is forced to question everything: What really happened that night? Why did he forget? And what does it mean that he chose him? Because the deeper he digs, the clearer one thing becomes--- Some memories aren't lost. They're buried. And something is making sure they stay that way. ----- A psychological horror story blending mystery and LGBTQ+ romance, "If I Forget, Don't Let Me" explores memory, control, and the terrifying cost of choosing truth over comfort. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't what you see... It's what you were never supposed to notice. (Chapters posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8 PM CDT)

Kha'lone Cole has always known how to be exactly what people need. Different rooms. Different versions. Different rules. At school, she's effortless - quiet, magnetic, impossible to fully read. The kind of girl people feel like they understand... even when they don't. But lately, something isn't lining up. Conversations don't match her memory. Reflections feel delayed. People respond to versions of her she doesn't remember being. At first, it's easy to ignore. Adjust. Adapt. Move on. That's what she's always done. But the more she shifts to fit the world around her... the more something beneath the surface starts to slip. And the scariest part? It might not be in her head. It might be what's left of her when she stops performing.

"Some doors weren't meant to open. Some powers weren't meant to wake. Some boys weren't meant to be seen." --- In the dying industrial town of Harrington, Pennsylvania, sixteen-year-old Walter Hoffman has spent his life perfecting the art of disappearing. They call him "Dead-Channel"-the kid who doesn't blink, doesn't react, doesn't feel. What they don't know is that Walter's stillness isn't emptiness. It's compression. And something buried deep beneath the earth is about to turn the pressure up. When an abandoned mine coughs up an object that shouldn't exist, Walter's body begins to change. His skin fractures like porcelain. Light bleeds through the cracks. Objects around him destabilize, crumble, rewrite themselves at the molecular level. He is becoming something the world has no name for. And he's not alone. Desmond Cross has everything money can buy. A mansion built on a funeral home. A father who loves what he cannot understand. And a secret that would unmake reality itself-if he ever stopped holding it in. Desmond sees the threads that bind life to death. He knows who's meant to survive and who's already gone. He's spent sixteen years building walls so high no one can climb them. Until Walter looks at him and doesn't ask him to be anything. Now a classified organization called ENVOY is hunting them. Dimensional fractures are tearing open across Harrington. And something ancient is watching from the dark between worlds-something that recognizes what Walter and Desmond are becoming. Something that wants them to finish waking up. Because if they do? They won't just break the rules of physics. They'll break the rules of story itself. --- THE DEVIL'S SPINDLE Every reality has a breaking point. This one has two.

Marlowe Bay is the kind of town that never changes. Same tides. Same streets. Same quiet mornings that feel like nothing ever happened before them. Lena Carter has lived her whole life believing in that stability. Until the day a letter appears under her door. No name. No sender. Only a warning: Don't go to the lighthouse tomorrow. If you already have, don't tell anyone. If the bell rings at noon, leave the town. What starts as a strange coincidence quickly unravels into something far more unsettling. People repeat moments without realizing. Familiar faces begin to shift in subtle ways. And the lighthouse at the edge of the cliffs-long abandoned-starts to glow at impossible hours. Then there's Elias. A boy who shouldn't know her name. A boy the town insists never existed. A boy who remembers things differently every time reality "updates." As the boundaries of Marlowe Bay begin to fracture, Lena is pulled into a hidden pattern beneath the town's calm surface-one that rewrites memory, identity, and even time itself. And the deeper she goes, the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore: Some places don't change because they're perfect. They don't change because they are editing what they are allowed to be. Now Lena must decide whether to stay inside a world that keeps rewriting her... or step outside it completely and risk becoming something the town can never remember again.

(This takes place after the events of Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero's Student.) With Kronika permanently defeated, Kuai Liang, Bi-Han, and Hanzo Hasashi have gained immortality from the Hourglass. All three men can control the Hourglass and bend time to their will. Eons will pass as they explore different timelines and realities, crafting and erasing each one as they please. They will discover different situations that they never thought possible, ones they will enjoy to observe, and ones they will shun with disgust. (I do not own Mortal Kombat, nor any of the characters. All rights go to their respective owners.) (Any music I use belongs to their respective owners.)

Starlette gets stuck in an endless forest and meets someone who is also stuck there. Starlette and his friend encounters disfigured creatures and finds out stuff they shouldn't have. They go through the forest meeting some other objects who have been also stuck here in this hell. (An object show book that may have disturbing descriptions and other messed up stuff. Be warned.)

Ashley, just a regular teenager. She lives with her parents. She thinks everything is normal, until she realizes that she's different. Not fully human. Waking up in a distorted version of earth. Not knowing if she'll survive. Will she?

Poem

✅Short story: COMPLETE ✅ I understand that it may look like it has just started with only one chapter, it is complete, and it's short. slight mention of death Velia was assisted to be a searcher for the rest of her life. she was not good with money or people or plants, but she was smart on her feet and capable of finding a way to live.

Just some random feelings that everyone has probably experienced, written down in the form of words presenting themselves . . .

Have you ever looked inside a mirror? And you see your reflection. You think nothing of that, and move on with your life, but what if there was something behind the mirror. Ce Ce, Lea, and Ace are three close friends who are starting off their jobs as waitresses at a family restaurant. When the three head into the back room for a break, Lea and Ce Ce fall out into a heated argument, as Ace watches in the back. Out of rage, Ce Ce breaks the mirror, and a force drags the three into a world of distortion. They soon discover their lives are at risk, and search for a way out. When they find their way out, a dreadful choice is made. Two may leave, one must stay, and the three must make a choice before they are trapped inside the world forever.

you wake up. The door is open. You don't remember opening it. At first, it's small things-objects moving, strange marks, the feeling of being watched. Easy to ignore. Easy to explain away. Until the mirror stops reflecting you. This is a dark, psychological horror story that blurs the line between reality and something far more sinister. As paranoia turns into something real, the truth becomes impossible to escape-and far too late to survive. Because something is watching you. Learning you. Becoming you. And when it finally takes your place... there won't be anything left of you to prove it. Don't look in the mirror for too long. It might look back... differently.
