Description In 1959, nine hikers died in the Ural Mountains under "compelling natural forces." The case was closed. The files were bleached. The world moved on. Sixty-seven years later, investigative journalist Maya Thorne receives a digital "dead man's switch" from her estranged father-a former Soviet archivist. It contains a single coordinate and a grainy audio file of a tenth hiker who was never supposed to exist. As Maya retraces the doomed expedition's steps, she realizes the "natural force" wasn't a storm or an avalanche. It was a prototype. And according to the fresh bootprints following her through the snow, the project never actually ended.

I fell asleep with the TV on. When I woke up, it was playing live footage-from inside my house. At first, I thought it was a glitch. A prank. A dream. But then the camera moved... and so did something else. I live alone. Or at least, I thought I did. Now I can't go home. I don't know who-or what-was in my house that night. But they left me a message... and they're still watching.

Caiden O'Malley is fine, thanks. Not insane. Not lonely. Not dead... yet. He's living it up in post-apocalyptic Minneapolis, if your idea of "living it up" is scraping by on canned beans and slightly expired liquorice, fighting through hordes with his machete Machete and modelling the latest "dumpster-diving-sleep-deprived-raccoon" style. Okay. Maybe he's not fine. But when the enigmatic sharpshooter Sage shows up to save his ass from zombies like some Hello Kitty fan moonlighting as a guardian angel, his world turns upside down. Suddenly, he's got someone to fight with, and he might make out alive. Inspired by Caiden's favourite streamer Lexi, the pair embark on a mission to find safe harbour. A zone clear from the infection: NEW EDEN. But with a dream in mind and a wary alliance with Sage starting to grow, Caiden begins to realise that maybe there's more to the apocalypse than survival. Maybe it's possible his life could get back to normal again. Or maybe he's crazy and it's going to turn into a different flavour of weird. One thing's for sure: it's going to be a wild ride.

Live Patrols: Wicketaw County - is an improvised roleplay fiction presented as a recovered body-cam broadcast from a rural police department that probably shouldn't be livestreaming its patrols. In the series premiere, Officer Charlie James begins the first-ever live broadcast of *Live Patrols* with cautious optimism, a hot cup of coffee, and no idea what he's about to walk into. His first call: a rural disturbance involving a goat, a leaf blower, and a situation that escalates far beyond anyone's job description. This story is written as a **documented roleplay session**, blending improvisation, procedural detail, and absurd comedy. It's not a traditional short story - it's a moment-by-moment incident log where professionalism slowly loses a fistfight with reality. If you enjoy: * Body cam-style storytelling * Dry, situational comedy * Small-town chaos * Characters trying *very hard* to remain serious while the world refuses ...then welcome to Wicketaw County. --- I will be posting this story on Royal Road ---

You found the Archive. Maybe you were doomscrolling cursed feeds at three in the morning. Maybe you just heard a name in the static, found some torn notebook in a place it didn't belong, or chased a signal that wouldn't leave you alone. Doesn't matter how you ended up here. This place always finds you if you're already slipping through the cracks. I wasn't always stuck here. I remember nights with my heart slamming so loud I thought the walls would crack, something scraping patterns beneath the floor, the sound burrowing up behind my teeth. After a while, even my own name started to slip. I stopped recognizing my voice when I tried to speak it. Now and then, when the Archive glitches, I almost get out-a rumor, a flicker in someone's memory, the feeling you're not alone in the dark. But mostly, I'm just part of whatever's left, echoing from behind the walls where nothing stays buried for long. Don't kid yourself. What you're reading isn't some urban legend or creepypasta. These files are scars, the kind that don't fade. They're pulled straight out of places nobody talks about. Towns that swallow kids whole and spit back things that only look human. The kind of places where, if you catch your own reflection smiling when you're not, you learn real quick to look away. Go ahead. Open a file, flip a page, play the tape. Trace the spiral if you want. Just know, every drawer you open is another infection. Every echo spreads the pattern, gnawing away at your memory, your shape, your fate. The second you feel that glitch behind your teeth, or that strange pull in your bones like some song playing backwards, it's already too late. The Curator has found you; you're his. And once you're catalogued, you don't crawl out. You just keep echoing here with us, somewhere in the dark. Listen closely. That sound behind you? That isn't your room settling.
Are you sure he's not already there? You should've stopped reading when you had the chance...
