Liminalspaces Stories

What if you lived in a world where how you truly felt made you feel like you were in a prison in your own mind? Imagine if you had to put on a smile every time you woke up, just to not feel the terrifying anguish of what would happen to you if you let your authentic feelings out, like your emotions are screaming behind your forced smile. This is exactly how Penelope feels when she lost everything she ever loved. Life in this dystopian 1950's timeline, is hell on earth for her and the worst part is she can never tell anyone how she genuinely feels without the consequence of breaking any rules. 'Be happy, be quiet, and don't be yourself. Even if you want to scream how you feel because you can't take it anymore, put your smile mask on and shut up.' Imagine if that was how you had to live every single day? Not being able to show any other emotion besides joy and it driving you insane because you desperately want to scream with everything in you, but feeling hopeless because no one knows you're screaming or crying out for help.

Why do dreams occur at night? And what do they symbolize? Are they fragments of an existing Multiverse? Or are they just mere creations of our own intense feelings and emotions? The question that even modern science failed to answer. Meet Kaizen Mizuki, an ordinary high schooler living an extraordinary nightmare. By day, he survives classrooms, bullying, and the quiet weight of expectations pressing down on him from every direction. By night, his sleep fractures into something far stranger, dreams that feel too real, spaces that exist between waking and reality, and fears that take shape and speak back. At first, they are only dreams. Then they begin to follow him. As Kaizen drifts through liminal worlds where logic bends and fear becomes tangible, he learns that sleep is not an escape, but a doorway. What begins as psychological horror slowly unfolds into something vast, astral travel, higher dimensions, and cosmic beings that do not hate humanity... yet are willing to erase it without hesitation. While galaxies burn and universes tremble beyond human perception, Kaizen still wakes up for school. He still laughs with friends. He still falls in love. Aoi, a girl who is playful, teasing, and painfully human towards him becomes his anchor to a normal life, even as Kaizen is pulled further away from it. Between awkward lunches, quiet walks, and moments of fragile romance, he carries a truth no one else can see, that reality itself is unstable, and he may be the only one standing between the boundary of existence and collapse. This is a slow burn story, blending slice-of-life warmth with psychological tension, scientific curiosity, and cosmic horror, Liminal Drift is a story about crossing boundaries, between dreams and waking, fear and courage, love and responsibility. Because sometimes, survival isn't just about saving the universe... It's about choosing to face it, even when the cost is everything... - P.S- Images in this story are all AI generated

Dreams were supposed to end when you wake up. But hers didn't. She always knew it wasn't just a nightmare. Because if it was... why didn't it leave her alone in the ocean?

A normal school day ends in terror when sixteen‑year‑old Riley Morgan slips through a door that shouldn't exist. She wakes up in the Backrooms - endless yellow halls, buzzing lights, and something whispering her name even though no one should know it. But these rooms aren't random. They're shifting, changing, recreating pieces of her past. The Backrooms remember her... and they want something back. As Riley searches for a way out, she encounters a mysterious wanderer, an entity that steals memories, and a level built entirely from her own life. The deeper she goes, the more one thing becomes clear: She wasn't trapped by accident.

She was not born of thunder or war, but of everything in between-where choices hesitate, doors linger half-open, and fate has not yet decided its shape. As the Goddess of the In-Between, she exists in the quiet thresholds of the world, unseen but always present. When Hermes, the ever-moving messenger of the gods, stumbles upon her realm, he finds something he was never meant to cross without consequence: stillness that answers back. Drawn into a connection neither of them fully understands, he begins to blur the line between passage and pause. But in a world ruled by Olympian certainty, even a moment of hesitation can change destiny-and the space between them may be more powerful than either god realizes. Written by Cie🌻.

"Silent Nightmres" - is a collection of horror stories about familiar spaces where reality begins to malfunction. These are stories that don't let go immediately. And they don't always leave. Every story is a separate compartment. Some are better left unopened. These stories don't rely on jump scares. They linger. That is why they are so hard to shake, even after the final page.

I looked at him. It was the first time seeing a human here.

"The first time you came here, you called it a dream. This time, you'll call it home." Adrian Kairo is a creature of habit: college classes, the steady hum of a ceiling fan, and the cold Portland rain. But reality is starting to fray at the edges. It starts with a flickering light. Then, a hallway that shouldn't exist; a yellow-lit, liminal labyrinth that pulses like a dying heartbeat. Each door leads deeper into a distorted version of his own life, and at the end of every corridor stands Cillian Virex. Cillian is calm. Cillian is familiar. Cillian is a man Adrian has never met, yet his soul recognizes him with a terrifying, bone-deep certainty. As the levels of the hallway shift from dreams to memories and into something far more dangerous, Adrian must face the fragments of himself he tried to bury. In a place where logic is an architect and silence is a weapon, Adrian is about to learn that forgetting was the only thing keeping him safe. Step into the hallway. Just remember: once you start walking, the exit is the first thing to disappear.

By Amanitalis Beyond the Living When a young man's childhood friend vanishes without a trace, the only clue left behind is a diary filled with strange entries-entries about a girl no one's ever seen and walks that blur the line between night and nightmare. Driven by obsession, the reader follows the trail to an abandoned graveyard deep in the Appalachian woods, where time slips, reality thins... and the river never forgets. Some people leave. Others never really do.

Liminal spaces are transitional or transformative spaces. They are the waiting areas between one point in time and space and the next. Often, when we are in liminal spaces, we have the feeling of just being on the verge of something. Liminal space is, of course, a literal space. xoxo, ally
