    No one notices when it starts. That's the point. This isn't a story about monsters, ghosts, or violence. It's about attention - and what happens when it becomes unnecessary. Each chapter changes something small. Not in the world. In you. There is no twist. There is no explanation. And nothing here needs to be watched to continue. You don't have to keep reading. But most people do.

    Faye's been desperate to reconnect with her lost past since her serial killer uncle was killed and she was placed with her bizarrely normal father's family - desperate enough to strike up a conversation with the first dead girl she meets, no matter how dangerous that might be. Dorita's not happy about being a dead girl - she never thought of herself as violent, but she wants nothing more than to rip off her killer's limbs. Problem is, she can't even find the guy. And as a subtype of ghost known only to be murderous, she can't reveal herself to anyone without the risk of getting killed AGAIN. Faye creeps her out, but she might be the only one who can help her. As everything from possessed radios to overly helpful murderers and the government's department of supernatural control draw a web of difficulty tighter and tighter around the two girls, their cautious appreciation for each other grows; maybe even buds into something more. But with Dorita's killer now stalking Faye and a ghost hunter in the neighborhood, the girls don't have much time left. And neither of them are quite sure what side they'll find themselves on when all this is done... Updates every Wednesday.

Welcome to Hollow's End. Where the town festival features you as the main attraction. Where every "first time" you meet someone... they show you photos from last time. Where escape is impossible - because you might be the one writing this nightmare.

    Summary: When the Doctor - in a new, unexpected incarnation - wakes to an idyllic life, everything is as it should be... almost. The sky never changes. The clock never moves. And neighbours' faces flicker with strangers' eyes. Drawn into a world that shifts like a TV set changing channels, the Doctor uncovers a sinister force behind the curtain: a mind-trap, curated by an unseen Host. Old friends, lost companions, and echoes of every Doctor live here in disguise - some allies, some enemies, all with secrets to keep. To escape, the Doctor must confront the shadows in their own memory... and decide whether the price of freedom is worth tearing down the illusion."

    With his pen, he commands the world. Rain halts in midair, streets shift into place, and a heroine steps through the door exactly as he imagined her. Radiant, flawless, obedient. But perfection is never gentle. Each revision leaves the page thinner, each touch makes the world tremble, until beauty itself begins to resist the hand that shaped it. A story of creation, control, and the dangerous allure of a world that longs to obey...until it doesn't.

    The SCP Foundation exists to secure, contain, and protect the anomalies that threaten reality. Most of them scream. Some of them bleed. Others rewrite the laws of the universe in obvious, violent ways. This one doesn't. SCP-005 is a key that opens anything. Not just doors - but boundaries, memories, systems, and ideas that were never meant to be accessed. Through fractured reports, personnel testimonies, civilian exposure, and an unsettling reader-insert perspective, Still Present explores what happens when containment doesn't fail loudly - but quietly, politely, and completely. Nothing explodes. Nothing escapes. And everything stays exactly where it shouldn't. You didn't open the file. You just kept reading. Reader discretion advised. Some things are more unsettling once you realize they were never locked at all.
