Liminal Stories

Following the events of The Patient, several previously unreleased observation logs were recovered from facility archives. The entries document the days leading up to the containment breach of Subject 199-720-01. Most are routine. Some are disturbing. A few are missing entirely. As Observer Hayes reviews the footage, he begins noticing details nobody else can see. Strange figures. Inconsistent reflections. Small changes that shouldn't be possible. The deeper he looks, the more convinced he becomes of one thing: Whatever was inside that room wasn't watching the patient. It was watching him.

Hello, and welcome to Wonderland! The land of happiness and love. Here, we will have a magnificent adventure filled with many wonderful things: strange places, creatures... even humans! But don't pay too much attention to them. So, why don't you come and give it a chance? Wonderland is waiting. (and she isn't very patient)

Kalydoros was never important enough to be remembered by history. A quiet Mediterranean island of harbors, mountain villages, aging hotels, and inherited routines, it survives through tourism, bureaucracy, and the comforting belief that nothing truly changes there anymore. Then the anomalies begin. At first they seem harmless. An inconvenience. Another strange story to discuss over coffee before returning to work. But as the weeks pass, citizens begin standing motionless in the streets, staring northward for reasons they cannot explain. Others develop conditions that defy every medical explanation. Entire districts adapt to events no one understands. Authorities rename what they cannot solve. Institutions reorganize around the abnormal. Life continues. Because life always continues. When Dr. Leandros Sarantis survives an accident that should have killed him, and microbiologist Dr. Irini Delimaris uncovers evidence that the phenomenon may not be natural at all, they find themselves confronting a transformation spreading quietly beneath the island's ordinary routines. Some mysteries arrive with violence. Others arrive politely, become familiar, and wait for society to welcome them. The Borrowed is a psychological mystery and literary dystopian thriller about memory, identity, adaptation, and the terrifying ease with which human beings learn to surrender uncertainty in exchange for direction.

The official report states that Subject 199-720-01 escaped containment on Day 14. The footage tells a different story. A collection of observation logs, camera recordings, and missing entries surrounding an incident that should have been impossible. The room was empty. The mirror wasn't.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ The toons were simply doing their machines, trying to escape the floor... but suddenly, when they entered the elevator, it opened up to a.. flower hallway?? what is this place?? ｡𖦹°‧ TW: Injury mentions, liminal/dreamcore spaces, disturbing entities/imagery

Each one of you is put into this strange place and no one but you can understand why. (?) You can relax and enjoy while you still can but... you know you shouldn't be staying there for too long or else... 👁️

On her final day in Seoul, Max met Kros, a man she fully expected to leave behind. That was the plan, anyway. After all, some people belong to a city, a season, or a chapter of your life. You meet them, share a moment, and move on. They become part of the story you tell later. But months after returning to Manila, Kros remains stubbornly present. In the form of a message, a reel, a reaction to a story, a thread neither of them seems willing to cut. Neither of them calls it anything. Neither of them seems entirely sure what to make of it, either. By all logic, they should have become a memory. Instead, they remain a question. What happens when a goodbye isn't the end?

Becca finally got the Niko plush she'd wanted for years. At first, everything was normal. Then came the whispers. I found you. Strange phone calls begin in the middle of the night. Dust-covered Niko plushies appear in the attic by the dozens before vanishing without a trace. Electronics flicker when she's alone. And no matter how many times she blocks the unknown number... ...the calls always come back. Her friends think it's a prank. Her family thinks she's imagining things. But Becca knows one thing: Something is searching for her. Something that crossed worlds to find its "goddess." And it's finally getting closer.

En los Backrooms, un lugar laberíntico que de seguro te hará perder la cabeza si no tienes cuidado, dos especies se encuentran al borde de una guerra, los Partygoers y los Partypoopers, unos siendo bestias altas y desenfrenadas, con fuerza extrema capáz de destrozar cada hueso de un humano, y otros siendo simples humanos, apoyándose unos a otros y a cualquier pobre alma que quede atrapada en el complejo. Pero por más que parezcan débiles en comparación con sus contrincantes, no caerán sin dar una digna batalla. ¿Acaso quieres saber cómo se originó este odio entre especies? ¿O si será posible volver a la paz? Dos personajes muy especiales responderán estas preguntas a lo largo de sus aventuras en este lugar olvidado por Dios. (El arte de la portada no es mío; no pude encontrar al artista original)

I don't always notice when things stop being real. Sometimes it's small things. A place that feels slightly wrong. A moment that doesn't match what I remember. A thought I'm sure I never had... until I did. And sometimes it's worse. Because there are moments I can't tell if I'm remembering my life or building it while I'm inside it. Vanya keeps moving forward, trying to make sense of what's happening around her. But the world doesn't stay still long enough to explain itself. And something...always just out of reach...feels like it already knows her better than she knows herself. ✨ SEASON ONE: I WAKE UP WHEN I ALMOST DIED

Owena is barely comfortable guarding the thin veil between worlds when she is handed an impossible mandate: locate the prophesied True King of the Fearie realm. Now, she must master the chaos of the Liminal Zone to save but th Earth and the realm she barely understands.

A place out of reality, the backrooms. An infinite amount of hallways, rooms, levels, and the unknown. YOU were chosen to escape this place. Goodluck. (reader x backrooms + oneshots)

The Conductor and its train-always the same, no matter the world or weather. No one knows its face. Not even itself. It appears when the train passes between worlds, always traveling, never arriving, chasing something it can never reach.

Rain pounds against the windows of Briar Patch Pizza & Play as Milo Carter starts what should've been an easy overnight security job. No interview. No paperwork. Just cash paid daily and one simple rule: Watch the cameras. But the abandoned pizzeria feels wrong from the moment he walks inside. The arcade machines flicker on by themselves. The mascot costumes look disturbingly lifelike. And once midnight hits, the animatronics don't stay on stage. As strange messages begin appearing across the security monitors, Milo realizes someone-or something-is trying to keep him alive. Because deep inside Briar Patch, the mascots are still performing. And they know he's there. For fans of analog horror, liminal spaces, and slow-burn psychological terror, Midnight Shift at Briar Patch Pizza delivers a chilling descent into a forgotten place where every hallway hides movement... and every smile hides teeth.
